Free busy Issue

I recently setup a lion server and i imported calendar data,  user data via backup and restore,  and wikis via the wikiadmin script.  I am a linux admin mainly butcomfortable enough with macs.  Anyways i noticed that free-busy is not working with the users i imported but is working with newly created users.  I have searched the postgres database and the ldap directory for clues and i even found a resource_property xml entry about set free busy and another xml entry referring to transparent and so i manually entered them into the postgres database but it had no impact.
Any ideas? 

I have a very similar issue - the "Availability Check" for all users/locations/resources returns status "available" all the time, regardless of whether there is a conflict or not.
10.7.3 on a MacMini5,2
• OD Master
• iCal
If a users checks their calendar using iCal client, it will show all appointments - it will also correctly show appointments for calendars that this users has read delegation on.  But with 100+ users there is a real need for users to be able to use the "check availability" tool in iCal client as opposed to trying to look at everybody's calendar individually.
I can post any logs/info you think will help, but I've not been able to find anything that even hints at anything wrong aside from a few entries in /Library/Logs/PostgreSQL.log

  • Free busy issue outlook 2010

    I am sorry if i am posting this in the wrong place.
    We have exchange 2010 sp3 in 3 sites ( US , UK and Africa)
    Users in UK start complaining they are not able to See free busy of US users but can see free busy of UK and African users.
    We later identified this could be due to the more no of groups which result in increased token size, so we removed 1 users couple of group membership and  he was able to see free busy of other users in US.
    Then we have done a registry change in all CAS server to set MAX token zize 
    Create the following registry keys on all CAS servers ( Exchange Server 2010 SP1 CAS servers) in the Active Directory site:
    Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
    Name: MaxFieldLength 
    Type: DWORD 
    Value data: 65534
    Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
    Name: MaxRequestBytes 
    Type: DWORD 
    Value date: 16777216
    But now users start complaining that they now cant see free busy of africa and US users, This affected only 5 users and all user outlook 2010.
    P.S: No luck with OWA also for these users. 
    Please suggest. 

     
    First check free busy issue does exist in OWA, if its not affected in OWA and only in outlook follow
    steps below
    have you tried with start--> run --> "Outlook.exe /cleanfreebusy" switch
    try the below step also.
    Start Outlook.
    Hold down the Ctrl key, right-click the Outlook icon in the notification area, and then click
    Test E-mail AutoConfiguration.
    Verify that the correct email address is in the
    E-mail Address box.
    In the
    Test E-mail AutoConfiguration window, click to clear
    the Use Guessmart check box and the
    Secure Guessmart Authentication
    check box.
    Click to select the
    Use AutoDiscover check box, and then click
    Test.
    Check auto configuration test reports

    Try to change outlook profile of affected users
    Check in Tools--->Options and Delegates tab if there is any other account try to remove.

  • Calander Free\Busy Issue

    Hi all,
    We have Exchange 2010 and users are working with office 2007.
    I have not checked all users, but those who i checked (about 10 out of 300), can see the details of other users appointments who are invited when the enter the "Scheduling Assistant".
    I checked the calendar Free\Busy permissions and they are set to:"Default - Free\Busy Only".
    There are no other permissions to other users.
    This issue is very important since the sensitivity of a lot of appointments, especially of managers is high.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Hasin,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I checked the permissions from the outlook side.
    I tried the command on the CEO mailbox and i received an error message (I replaced here the user name with xxxxx for security reason):
    Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'Identity'. Cannot convert value "xxxxx:calendar" to type "Microso
    ft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.MailboxFolderIdParameter". Error: "The mailbox folder identity "xxxxx:calendar" isn't
    in the correct format. The correct format should look like this: "<MailboxIdentity>:<FolderPath>". "
        + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (:) [Get-MailboxFolderPermission], ParameterBindin...mationException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentTransformationError,Get-MailboxFolderPermission
    Then i tried to write down "calendar" in Hebrew (which is our native language) and i get only question marks (I guess that Power Shell dont like my language). I have succeeded to do it on several users, i guess because their Outlook is in English
    and the result was:
    FolderName   : Calendar
    User         : Default
    AccessRights : {AvailabilityOnly}
    Identity     : Default
    IsValid      : True
    As i understand according to the result, people should only see if the user is available and it's not the case. Users can see the full details.

  • Federated free busy information - the recipients mailbox server could not be contacted

    Hi guys, really hoping someone can help with a free busy issue I'm having.  
    I've configured a new forest with exchange 2013 installed in preparation for moving all AD objects to the newly created forest to resolve a single label domain issue.  The source forest has exchange 2010 SP2 installed.  I've setup a trust between
    the forests and dns is resolving okay.  Federation has been setup for each of the forests and sharing configured but free busy info isn't available.  When trying to retrieve FB from the new exchange 2013 mailboxes i get "the recipients mailbox
    server could not be contacted"  Trying to lookup FB from new forest to source "the recipients server could not be contacted"  I've followed the troubleshooting steps in the following link: http://johanveldhuis.nl/en/troubleshooting-federared-sharing/
    which are all okay except when I run Test-FederationTrust -UserIdentity [email protected]  On the exchange 2013 forest all tests are successful, on the exchange 2010 forest all tests are successful with the exception of token request which
    returns: failed to request validation token.  Any help on this really appreciated

  • Outlook 2013/Exchange 2010 Free/Busy access issues.

    Good Day Everyone,
    I am running a Win 2008 R2 environment with Win7 users, using Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2013. Last week my users started experiencing issues with being able to view Free/Busy in the Calendar for any other user. I have checked past issues with this with patches
    KB 2837618 and KB 2837643. Neither patch is showing as installed and I have tried a nummber of the suggested fixes offered for that issue to no avail. OWA seems to be working just fine.
    Our Outlook version is: 15.0.4605.1003
    I need a fix for Outlook users and since I havve 140 users, individual fixes are a not realistic option.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Please test if Out of Office feature works well in Outlook. If Out of Office doesn't work either, it should be Autodiscover related.
    Once Autodiscover has not been configured properly, the Free/Busy information may not display correctly. If you are also seeing issues with Out of Office assistant, we may assume that you haven’t correctly setup Autodiscover, since these two symtoms are
    common when Autodiscover is not configured correctly.
    To verify that, please test Outlook Autodiscover Connectivity:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123573.aspx
    We can also learn Configure Exchange Services for the Autodiscover Service from:

  • Outlook 2013 - Calendar issues: Suggestions cannot be provided because free/busy data could not be retrieved

    I noticed recently that I cannot see anymore free/busy information for my own organization colleagues.
    I'm using Outlook 2013 (latest updates) upon Exchange 2010 (SP ?).
    The suggestion DO work on my account using OWA.
    Other users w/Outlook 2010 have no problems.
    I tried to run "outlook /cleanfreebusy" but that switch isn't supported anymore in outlook 2013.
    Anyone can help ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I didn't say two but three places.
    Actually, my wording is a bit confusing. In terms of where you go to remove them, it is indeed "Program and features" and "see installed updates". Now within there, I had the KB listed several times (3) under different products (like "Microsoft Outlook 2013"
    and "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013") and I had to uninstall the KB from all three entries.
    Note that, as per Robert Sparnaaij (http://www.howto-outlook.com, http://www.msoutlook.info)
    : "I’m aware of the issues but they are not as black and white as the article(s) suggest(s) and not that widespread either to do a general recommendation to uninstall
    a security update. In case of the IMAP issues, they are actually wrong.", and "It was said to
    be fixed with Path Tuesday for December (December 10) but unfortunately somehow the Outlook 2013 update missed the cut. It got published on December 13 after all but only was approved a little over 24 hours ago as KB2850061. However, at the moment, only the
    downloads are available but not yet the KB article nor are they currently being offered via Microsoft Update so unfortunately, the issue will drag on a bit longer. I’ve just published an article about it here:
    http://www.howto-outlook.com/news/update-2013-12-ol2013.htm".
    Lastly, "The KB article of the November update confirms that it fixes the Autodiscover connectivity issues with Exchange 2007:  
    If you are using Outlook to connect to a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 mailbox:
    You receive an error message that resembles either of the following when you try to configure Automatic Replies (Out of Office): Your automatic reply settings cannot be
    displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.
    You cannot retrieve Free/Busy data for calendar scheduling.
    Add-ins that use the Account.SmtpAddress property no longer work.
    These features rely on an underlying
    Autodiscover technology. After you install this security update, Autodiscover may fail for Exchange 2007 configurations. Therefore, Outlook features that rely
    on Autodiscover will also stop working. To resolve these issues, install update 2850061."
    Hope this helps.

  • Microsoft Office 2013 Free/Busy Information Issue

    We have several users that cannot see the free/busy information of another user in their Outlook 2013 calendars.  Creating a new Outlook profile for the user and repairing office solves the issue for a short period of time.  Users are running Windows
    8 64 bit, Windows 7 32bit and 64bit with Office 2013.  Our Exchange server is 2010 version 14.03.0158.001.  I have included screenshots of the issue.

    I have been working with Microsoft on this issue.  The patches below are suppose to fix this issue.  We are still currently testing them.

  • How to share only free/busy info in iCloud calendars?

    I currently use Google Calendar to manage my calendars, with some calendars fully shared (view full event details, read/write) with my wife. 
    I also have been sharing my availability with non-Mac using clients and external partners using Tungle (and am transitioning to TimeBridge, www.timebridge.com now that RIM killed Tungle).  Similarly, my wife currently shares free/busy info in her personal calendar with a work colleague who is on Google Calendars as well so he can see her availability even when it is affected by non-work events.
    Lately we've been having increasing trouble with random Google sync issues, so I'm considering switching to iCloud calendar sharing instead.
    We would like to continue sharing free/busy info with some people, and from what I've read iCloud doesn't have this sort of functionality.  Even when a calendar is shared publicly, people can view all event details -- something we definitely DON'T want clients or work colleagues to have full access to.
    Is there any way to sync my iCloud calendars into a third-party site like TimeBridge or even Google Calendars so that I can share only my availability externally?  Or any other workaround?
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately, his Mac is not local to me. I would have to drive about 30 miles each way, which is not too bad, but I won't have time to do it for a couple of weeks and I am hoping an easier solution can be found without me having to drive, especially since if the problem is on my end, that trip would be a waste of time for both of us.

  • [Forum FAQ] Why can't I retrieve Free/Busy information

    Free/Busy information is a feature of Microsoft Outlook that allows you to see when others are free or busy so that you can efficiently schedule meetings. You can use Microsoft Outlook to publish Free/Busy information to any server
    your and your coworkers have read/write access to. However, in some cases you’ll notice that you can’t retrieve Free/Busy information correctly from Outlook. You can try the below methods to troubleshoot and get the Free/Busy information again.
    Since most users who often use this feature are using Exchange, all the information in this content is only based on Exchange.
    General troubleshooting methods:
    Method 1: Start Outlook using the ‘/cleanfreebusy’ command line switch
    Method 2: Logon OWA to see if the Free/Busy information shows correctly
    Method 3: Check the user’s Permission Level when only one user’s Free/Busy information can’t be displayed
    Other causes
    Autodiscover has not been setup correctly
    Updates
    Here are the detailed steps and explanation of each method and cause.
    Method 1: Start Outlook using the ‘/cleanfreebusy’ command line switch
    With the ‘/cleanfreebusy’ switch, it will clear and regenerate free/busy information when Outlook starts, sometimes this process fixes the problem that Free/Busy information doesn’t display correctly, and this is always the first thing we should try when
    we can’t get the Free/Busy information from Outlook.
    This switch can only be used when you are able to connect to your Microsoft Exchange server.
    To start Outlook using the switch, we can press Win Key +
    R to start Run, type ‘outlook.exe /cleanfreebusy’ in the blank box, then press
    Enter.
    Please note since Outlook 2013 only uses the availability service which is connected to Autodiscover, the command line switch ‘/cleanfreebusy’ has been removed as well as the associated code so that Outlook 2013 will not recognize this
    command.
    Method 2: Logon OWA to see if the Free/Busy information shows correctly
    If you are using Cached Exchange Mode in Outlook and having trouble getting the Free/Busy information, please logon OWA, or switch to Online Mode to see if the Free/Busy information shows correctly.
    If the Free/Busy information shows correctly on OWA or in Online Mode, this problem may be caused by the Outlook Data File(.ost) corruption, which leads to the sync failure. Therefore we should exist Outlook, browse to the Data File and rename it to “.old”.
    The next time Outlook starts, it will regenerate a Data File to sync and we can check if the Free/Busy information can be retrieved.
    The location of the Data File can be found from File tab ->
    Account Settings -> Account Settings ->
    Data Files tab. (Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013)
    Or Tools menu -> Options ->
    Mail Setup tab -> E-mail Account -> Account Settings window ->
    Data Files tab. (Outlook 2007)
    If on OWA it displays fine but doesn’t show the information correctly in neither Cached Exchange Mode nor Online Mode, it may be caused by the firewall or anti-virus settings, disable them to verify if they caused the problem.
    Method 3: Check the user’s Permission Level when only one user’s Free/Busy information can’t be displayed
    When a user has set his Calendar Permission to None, other people will not be able to see his Free/Busy information. When we notice that we can get most people’s Free/Busy information but fail to get one specific person’s, please consider
    to check his Calendar Permission:
    In that user’s Outlook, right click on his default Calendar, click Properties, select
    Permissions tab.
    We need to at least switch the Permission to Free/Busy time to get his Free/Busy information correctly.
    Other cause 1: Autodiscover has not been setup correctly
    From Outlook 2007, Outlook uses Autodiscover to get the Free/Busy information. Once Autodiscover has not been configured properly, the Free/Busy information may not display correctly. If you are also seeing issues with Out of Office assistant, we may assume
    that you haven’t correctly setup Autodiscover, since these two symptoms are common when Autodiscover is not configured correctly.
    To verify that, please test Outlook Autodiscover Connectivity:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123573.aspx
    We can also learn Configure Exchange Services for the Autodiscover Service from:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb201695.aspx
    Since Autodiscover Service is more Exchange related, we need to seek Exchange support and post the question in Exchange forum:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/home?category=exchangeserver
    Other cause 2: Updates
    Although Updates from Microsoft do no harm to the system for most of the time, the updates sometimes can mess things up.
    Outlook 2013 November 2013 security update once became the culprit that caused some users not able to retrieve Free/Busy information from calendar scheduling. This occurs because Autodiscover fails for Exchange 2007 configurations. So in fact, this also
    refers to the previous reason, Autodiscover is corrupted.
    The fix for the issue above has been released:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2850061/en-us
    Once you have some issues after updating and doubt it’s an update issue, you can always come to our forum to ask if there’s a recent update which causes the problem, we will be happy to support you. If a fix hasn’t been released yet, we suggest you uninstall
    the suspicious ones from Control Panel -> Programs and Features ->
    View installed updates to verify which caused the problem, also as a workaround.
    Summary
    The reason that we can’t get the correct Free/Busy information can vary. If you find it doesn’t work even after several general troubleshooting steps, please consider it’s Autodiscover related. For anyone who comes up against the issue that Free/Busy information
    can’t be retrieved, please feel free to visit Outlook IT Pro Discussions from the URL:

    Everything else is working well with my calendars and Mobile Me.
    I can add events, remove them, edit them, the sync is working well between the web interface and iCal on my Mac (10.7)
    The only thing amiss is the availability window just logs an error to the console after a short time out.
    It's error 403 which seems to be a permission denied error.
    Do I need to grant permission for MobileMe to publish my free/busy status anywhere?
    It it locked down until I allow sharing?
    Is it tied to sharing a calendar some how?
    Just sending a call out to others in case I'm missing something obvious. There are instances of this error on the boards with iCal and 10.6.6. so I presume it's more a server setup / service interruption than something I can change.
    Thanks for any input - even if it's a "it works for me right now" or "I too can't get mobile me status in iCal"
    (p.s. Mobile Me support says they can't help - talk with iCal people.)
    (p.s. After two hours on the phone with iCal - it's back to the MobileMe people to try again. I figured I'd give a shout here before I try them again...)
    Here's the error message from /private/var/log/system.log

    I have a similar issue. My girlfriend is using a yahoo address and for the life of me I cannot send her an iCal invite from my me.com or mac.com address. It never shows up in her email, not in inbox, not in junk, not deleted. I get an exclamation point on her name in the iCal invite. I can send her invites from Gmail. I created a test account on yahoo and I can send invites to that test account.
    Of course I can email her just fine. I can open the invite in iCal, select the down arrow on her name and select "send email" that works just fine. I try to "invite again" and nothing... this is maddening
    I've deleted iCal cache, deleted her contact, tried just using her smtp yahoo address, i don't have this issue with anyone else that I know of...

  • Out of office/free busy not working for Outlook 2013

    Hi!  I have a user on our network that cannot use Out of office or see free/busy information in meeting requests.  We have hundreds of working 2010 clients but this one is 2013 and NOT a member of our domain.  They are connected to exchange
    and can do anything except the above.  When I do a test of email autoconfiguration it just fails.  DNS resolution is working fine but it can't connect to the server for these two functions only.  Any articles I can find assume the user is remote
    and outside the network but he is connected internally.  Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Please switch to Outlook 2010 client and login OWA to check this issue.
    The Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Availability service makes free/busy information available to Outlook client. Then Outlook uses the Exchange Server 2010 Autodiscover service to obtain the URL of the Availability service. As you
    mentioned, it failed to do a test of email autoconfiguration. So I suggest the following methods for troubleshooting
    Please switch to Outlook 2010 client and login OWA to check this issue.
    Have you configured
    Autodiscover Service for Internet Access?
    Use Test-OutlookWebServices cmdlet to
    verify that the Autodiscover service settings for Outlook clients are configured correctly.
    Blog for
    reference to troubleshooting Autodiscover.
    Best Regards.

  • Free/busy information in 2007/2013 coexisitance

    I'm in the process of migrating from a single server 2007 exchange environment to a multi server 2013 environment. I'm at the point where I want to move a small group of users to the 2013 serves to do some testing. The only issue holding that back
    is anyone on the 2007 server cannot view free/busy information of a user on the 2013 servers. This does work when a 2013 tries to lookup a 2007 users free/busy information.
    Anyone have any idea why that would be?  

    Hi,
    Please check your Exchange 2007 Web service in CAS configurations. We need to set it with legacy.contoso.com. Just like:
    Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory –Identity “Exch07\EWS (Default Web Site)” -InternalUrl https://legacy.contoso.com/ews/exchange.asmx –ExternalUrl
    https://legacy.contoso.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx

  • Free/Busy Error

    Sun ONE Calendar Server 5.1.1 hf 1.16
    Sync tool 1.1 patch 2
    I tried to configure Free/Busy option, by putting the Search URL as :
    http://<servername>/get_freebusy.wcap?fmt-out=text/calendar&tzid=timezone&mail=%NAME%@%SERVER%
    However when I check on the user availability through outlook, it prompts and error:
    An error occurred reading Internet free/busy data. General failure. The URL was ....
    When I cut the URL and past on the browser, it said unauthorised, any idea ?

    Yep, indeed it does, except the password works when carrying out an autodiscover test, when testing free/busy that error appears. Lookups for free/busy work from on-premise to cloud, cloud to on-premise does not work unless you explicitly allow permissions
    on a user basis. The on-premise Exchange 2010 SP3 environment is using an external wildcard cert and thought this could be causing the issue, may consider updating to SAN based. What do you think?

  • Free/busy information unavailable in Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.1 on Exchange 2010

    Hi,
    This has been discussed a lot inf forums but unfortunately having followed all the guides I have found, I can't resolve it.  I am the only user with the issue.  
    I have primarily followed https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/ee9e1b89-bea1-48aa-9008-cae205c5e816/forum-faq-why-cant-i-retrieve-freebusy-information?forum=outlook 
    including recreating my profile, installing http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2850061/en-us via
    Ofifce 2013 SP1, verifiying the funtion works through OWA etc etc.
    I have the full version of Office 2013 Pro not the Click to Run version.  It seems to be the Outlook client itself not the Exchange server.  I am at a loss what to do next... please help! :)

    Hi,
    Please also enable Automatic Replies in Outlook, check if this feature works well.
    Since the issue only occurs to one client and it works on OWA, I suggest you try these steps below to troubleshoot the issue:
    1. Start Outlook in Safe Mode. It is always a helpful method to troubleshoot Outlook client issues, when in Safe Mode, Outlook doesn't load with add-ins, we can check if this issue persists when add-ins are disabled:
    Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
    If there's no issue in Safe Mode that you can find free/busy information again, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which one caused the problem.
    2. Perform a clean boot. This helps determine whether the issue is related to some background programs, any 3rd-party programs will be disabled. If the issue doesn't occur in Clean Boot, then we may suspect it's related to some 3rd-party programs, the detailed
    steps can be found in this link below:

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
    programs.
