_ExchangeDistributionList.GetFreeBusy Method
Returns Nothing (a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) in C#) because free-busy information is available only to individual users and not ExchangeDistributionList objects.

Remarks
The ExchangeDistributionList object is derived from the AddressEntry object. It inherits the GetFreeBusy method from the AddressEntry object, and in the case of ExchangeDistributionList, regardless of the values of the parameters, this method always returns Nothing.
This method does not return the free-busy information of individual members of an ExchangeDistributionList. To obtain free-busy information for a meeting request, send the request to individual users. Use the AddressEntry.AddressEntryUserType property of the AddressEntry object obtained from Recipient.AddressEntry to determine if a Recipient represents an ExchangeDistributionList.
