Free time information not always removed in mixed clusters

The new R5 Schedule Manager does not flush a user's free time information if their home server is a cluster mate. It incorrectly assumes that all cluster mates are R5 servers. However, this is not always true because Notes clustering is available in R4.x, which does not have clustered free time information.

For example, a user on Server A (R5) moves to Server B (R4.64). Server A does not flush the user's free time information and as a result, all other R5 cluster mates have old or inaccurate information. Since Server B is pre-R5, it does not handle clustered free time information and does not maintain the information used by Server A.

To solve this, the administrator should delete the user's entry in the CLUBUSY.NSF database.

This is not an issue with R5 servers that are not clustered; the free time system works with R4.x.
