Not true.

1. Have someone forward the meeting request to you.

2. Open the meeting request (not just in viewing pane)

3. Go to your calendar

4. The meeting should be showing up as tenative. Open the meeting.

5. Accept.

Really weird since you cannot accept the meeting from the email but can when

you open the tentative on your calendar.

Since this is still sitting out there and gets a lot of hits, I want to pipe up and say that - at least in a standard config corporate exchange version - no, one cannot regain control of the meeting again after getting it back on the calendar. Furthermore, there's a bug by which you can actually lose control of the meeting for no apparent reason. It tends to happen to recurring meetings that have a lot of attendees and have been changed many times. For example, John may create a "cast of thousands" meeting, then revise the date of a single occurrence. George can't attend on that date, but when he tries to decline it, he finds that he can't decline it, he can only cancel it - as if he was the organizer. Sometimes it's resolved if John forwards him a copy of the meeting, but generally, the only solutions are for George to control the meeting going forward, or for George to cancel the series and John to reissue. Best practice would be to cancel it and start anew anyway, as clearly the series has been corrupted by the changes.

Do any of the attendees use a smart phone? One of the most common causes of losing control of the meeting is accepting it on a smartphone - not sure if all ActiveSync devices are affected or just apple, but I know accepting a meeting on an iphone can result in that person taking ownership.

I had a problem with ActiveSync but the main reason was to use the configuration setting:

I was loosing control over all my meetings. I am using MS Outlook on my notebook and ActiveSync on Nokia N8 mobile phone. Even my name was still showed as an originator - I was not able to change anything. It was other me ;)

The problem probably started when my company has changed e-mail addresses due to domain change. The new e-mail was set as a main one and the old one was converted to the alias. I was not creating meetings for several weeks, so I did not linked the problem to the e-mail address change. Once I checked and corrected (the the main e-maill address) - everything is fine.
 
Yes, that will do it. Thanks for the information, I'm sure it will help someone in the future.
