Adding Holidays to Outlook 2010 - Automated

I know you can add holidays to individual Outlook 2010 calendars. However, I've been asked by my boss to add certain religious holidays to all of my staff Outlook calendars in an automated way.
Is there a way to do this in an automated way using either Exchange 2010 or a GPO? I know I can create a custom HOL file easy enough, but how to import it without running around to 50 computers or have my staff import it themselves with provided instructions, but neither of those is an ideal solution.
Thanks

Contacts and Calendar not sync'ing with Outlook 2010

All was fine today until (maybe coincidental - maybe not) I had a Microsoft Exchange email account added to my Outlook 2010. I have an iPhone 4, and I usually sync daily, especially when calendar or contact changes take place. I am currently not using the icloud, so all contacts and calendar events would be way too outdated.
I have checked my Outlook settings under "info" and cannot get my contacts and address to load. I even see the "Contacts syncing"..."calendar sync'ing" when the overall iTunes sync takes place with my iPhone.
Help!!

Yes, it is. Do you have Desktop Manager v6?

When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail

When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server supplied by my employer, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail. Do I have to upgrade my Microsoft Office 2010 or how can I make my Outlook
2010 check all my four e-mail accounts without manually click on my accounts?
Sincerely
Ketil Hothorp

Hello Ketil,
Good Day...
Seems to be the Issue is Syncing emails, now I would recommend you to Remove and Add the Account and try and check if the emails are getting synced automatically.
Hope this is with Single User. If it is with Multiple Users then we need to check the permissions assigned.

Praveen

Is there a way to automatically update events in the Outlook 2010 calendar when adding events in the iCloud calendar in Outlook 2010?

I am using Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. I have synced my Outlook calendar with my iPhone using the iCloud Control Panel. This is great, but when I add an event in the iCloud calendar in Outlook 2010 and subsequently send out invitations to the event, I get the following error:
"This meeting is not in the Calendar folder for this account. Responses to this meeting will not be tallied. Do you want to send anyway?"
I select "Yes" and the invite goes out. However, when invitees receive the email invitation, there should be 2 emails - one from Outlook and one from iCloud. The iCloud invite does not always come through. If the invitee responds to the Outlook email invite, it does not show up on the iCloud Calendar.
Is there a reason that the iCloud email is not always sent or is there a way to some how update the Windows Outlook Calendar when adding events in the iCloud Calendar through Outlook?

I have just discovered this problem as well.
Very annoying!
Now all off my meetings entered in Outlook on my desktop PC are not syncing with my ipad and iphone.
If I had known this would have happened I would never have downloaded Version 2.0 of the icloud control panel.
Does anyone know how I can get the earlier version back?

Outlook 2010 / iCloud Sync - Outlook crashing while adding address to contact

We have a very odd problem with one client where adding an address to the iCloud contacts field through Outlook 2010 causes outlook to crash. We've tried the following and to no avail:
Made sure Windows 7 has all updates
Made sure Outlook 2010 has all updates
Create new Outlook profile
Create new Outlook data file
Uninstall / Reinstall iCloud app and resetup sync
The only problem I've narrowed it down to is that it is related to the Calendar & Tasks syncing in iCloud. When the Contacts sync is on ONLY it is ok; as soon as I turn on the Calendars & Tasks then it causes the crash above.
In the meantime, I've advised the client to update the address field through www.icloud.com or on their iPhone but not through their PC.

Update: I removed all the duplicated lines and other errors (approx. 2000 contacts) and noticed that there were varying extra spaces between city/state and state/zip, which may have caused the different sorts of errors I saw. it's possible that it started with iOS 5/Exchange on the 3GS and I hadn't realized it, my guess is that little errors that iOS4 would overlook, iOS5 and the Exchange process won't.
I believe that the different permutations were due to the variance of the extra spaces between city/state and state/zip which seemed to have been caused by some portion of this error, although because it's pretty subtle, the spaces could have been there before and I didn't notice. I have gone through the approx 2000 contacts and removed the spaces (as well as the extra lines) and although it looks fine at a quick glance, by the time it gets to the iPhone, all of the fields besides the country field are ending up in the address field, not populating to the city, state and zip fields. I also set my MacBook to access Google as a test and as near as I can tell, the Exchange process is not adequately understanding what is a street address, what is a city, state, zip, etc., since Google doesn't have these fields separated out.
I have also sent an email to GSyncIt support for their thoughts. I hope this is clear, I'm a little boggled at this point.

Outlook 2010 when deleting meeting attendees, not prompting to send to added/deleted attendees

Hello,
We have been having this issue for quite some time and I have endlessly searched the internet for answers as well as this forum but it doesn't seem like anyone has been able to help.
We are using Outlook 2010 and I have two employees who need to modify very large meeting invites, quite frequently. When they add an attendee to a meeting invite and click Send, it prompts them with the dialog box to send to only added/deleted attendees
or send to all attendees. When they delete an attendee and click Send, it does not prompt them with this dialog box and just sends to all on the invite. They are not modifying anything else within the invite, only deleting an attendee and we would like
to send to that attendee only. This is a major issue because these invites consist of anywhere from 30 - 75 Client (customer) attendees and it not only looks bad on our part, they start to get confused and annoyed when this continually happens.
Can someone PLEASE PLEASE HELP ASAP??? It does not appear that there is a solution out there for this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Lori

This is an interesting problem. You can go in to the Tracking area under the scheduling assistant and un-check anyone who has been deleted from the invitation list. When you save the meeting, it will ask if you want to send an update. However, it still does
not give the option of sending only to added or deleted participants. I just tried it and it did not send me an update after I deleted people on the invited list.
I hope this helps.

Outlook 2010 show all users presence not just those you added to Jabber?

A customer has requested that in Outlook 2010 that Presence state is show for all users. Not just those that have been added to their Jabber for Windows 9.7.1 client.
Is there any way to do this?
J4W 9.7.1
IMP 10.0.1SU1

So for all users in consideration; kindly check if the proxy address field in AD is populated with the following format or not;
SIP:uid@sipproxydomainname ... ( this is also the IM address and please note prefixing with the word SIP: is really important).
Note this field will ensure whether you get the presence consistently or not. Refer to the following document for more information;

Adding a Microsoft Exchange Accout to Outlook 2010 Error

Because of my business, I need a Microsoft Exchange account set up and I'm having the most difficult time. When I go to add an email account in Outlook and automatically set-up it fails. When I manually go to set up an exchange email it tells
me Outlook can not be online and running at the same time as adding the exchange account. When I close Outlook, go to mail in the control panel and try adding the exchange account there, it then mockingly tells me Outlook now Needs to be online and connected.
I have no idea what I could possibly do or what I am doing wrong, and there is no way I am paying $260 for Microsoft to fix a problem that should not be there in the first place. If anyone has any idea at all of what I can do to resolve this I would be entirely
grateful!

Hi,
According to your description, your account cannot be automatically configured.
And we can firstly try to manually configure the account:
http://support.sherweb.com/Faqs/show/manual-configuration-guide-for-outlook-2010-exchange-2013
Please note the new content in the option server name. we can use the following command to get the GUID:
Get-mailbox name |fl ExchangeGUID
Additionally, to narrow down the cause, I’d like to confirm more information:
1. Check if other users come across the issue.
2. Check if you come across the issue both externally and internally.
3. How about the result of accessing the following URL:
https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml

Exchange - Outlook 2010 - Additional mailboxes are re-added

Hello,
i am having the problem that some additional mailboxes are re-added to my outlook-profile.
I did have full-mailbox-access in the past, but this is a few months ago.
I tried this :
http://www.interworks.com/blogs/ijahanshahi/2012/05/18/outlook-2010-additional-mailbox-will-not-close
but after a new login, the mailboxes are re-added again.
I can not open these mailboxes, because i don`t have access to them.
These mailboxes are not shown in the account-settings-tab in Outlook.
Anybody with a solution for this?
Thx

Hi ,
1.Through dsa.msc Just take the object path of the mailbox which is auto mapping to your mailbox.
2.Login in to your domain controller and open a tool called ADSIEDIT through run prompt.
3.Then connect the default naming context (domain name) through ADSIEDIT tool and then expand it.
4.Then you can see the structure as same as OU. From there you can able to find the account which is adding automatically to your account by referring the object path which was taken from the step 1.
5.Just go to the properties of the mailbox and then look for the attribute msExchDelegateListLink
.On that attribute you will find the list of values which is having automapping access
to that mailbox.On that you should have to delete the value which belongs to you mailbox.
Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

Adding Skype Icon to Outlook 2010

I want to add a Skype call or chat icon. I va ecreated on the Skype page and grabbed the email code. Do I paste an icon into Outlook and link to the pasted code or what?

I want to add the skype icon/phone number to my outlook 2010 email messages; however, I can only add the picture and not my Skype Phone Number (step 6 below does not work for me). Can someone provide advice on that? Thanks. Interestingly, it automatically occurred in my hotmail account, which links to Outlook.
1. Go to http://www.skype.com/intl/en/tell-a-friend/wizard/
2. select function as "add me to skype".
3. Right click the picture and save it on your computer.
4. Open a "New email" message in Outlook 2010.
5. insert the picture.
6. Right lcik , insert Hyperlink and paste "skype:<your skype ID>?add" (without quote).

Contact added in iPhone 4 (not S) does not sync to Outlook 2010

I have confirmed in iTunes that the Outlook address book is coreectly checked to sync (and confirmed it is the only one on the phone). I have also checked the box (in iTunes) to "Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPhone to:" and chosen the same Outlook group. Anyone else know why the new contact on the iPhone is not syncing to Outlook?
Pretty frustating, since I've had the phone so long now and just realized this issue! Don't know how many contacts I'm missing in Outlook.

Hi,
You are trying to sync iPhone and Outlook 2010 with iTunes for Windows via USB, right?
Seems you've tried the most common solutions (reset Sync history and replace information on iPhone) for this kind of issue, but to no avail. To continue to troubleshoot the issue, I would suggest we first try following steps:
Disable third-party Outlook add-ins. Outlook third-party add-ins sometimes might interfere with the communication between iTunes and Outlook. Go to
File>Options>Add-Ins>click
COM Add-ins in the Manage list>Click
Go, in the dialog, deselect the checkbox for each third-party add-in in the list.
Try to sync with a new Windows user. A corrupted Windows user profile sometimes will cause this issue.
Please note that Outlook synchronization support for iPhone, iPod touch, and iTunes is provided by Apple support. If issue persists, I would suggest you to contact Apple support for further assistance.
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Any way start over from scratch to fix iCloud calendar issues in Outlook 2010?

I'm suddenly having perplexing iCloud calendar issues in Outlook. Forget the hundreds and hundreds of duplicate entries for birthdays and holidays, and the thousands of duplicate contacts - I've just been manually deleting them from Outlook. I also tried manually deleted iCloud files from iCloud on outlook, but this does not seem to affect what is on iCloud itself. I've now got an issue where if I add an appointment on my iPhone, it appears on Icloud but not in Outlook 2010 even though the iPhone calendar is displayed in Outlook. iPad appointments show up on iPhone, iCloud and Outlook. iCloud entered appointments show up on iPhone, and iPad and Outlook. Of course it is maddening that there is a separate calendar for each (there is only one of me, so why a separate calendar in Outlook for every source is beyond me). How can I get my iPhone to start showing up again in Outlook? Another issue is that now every time I click on calendar in Outlook, it takes 2-3 minutes to display the calendar because iCloud seems to be syncing. I'm assuming this is because there a so many duplicates. I've removed Icloud from Outlook. Ran a repair on Outlook. Uninstalled iCloud. Reinstalled. Re-added to outlook., but the issue is never fixed. I'm considering make a brand new Apple ID and abandoning my current one, but that means I have to change my iPad, iCloud, iPhone, family iPhones, Outlook, readd credit card, reload all of the data. That's a pain. I sure would be nice to have a simple way of editing the iCloud data and adding devices (and having a more descriptive source name would be even better).

I found sync options under "info"
I was looking to sync the information from the phone back into outlook, It looks like these options will sync what is on outlook into the phone..
I wanted to export from the phone (which has all of the old appointments and updated contacts) , back into outlook
Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Signing, encrypting in Outlook 2010 with two Exchange accounts in profile

Hi all!
I have two Exchange accounts aimed at two different servers in my profile. In Outlook 2011 for Mac this works as advertised, but in Outlook 2010 for Windows Outlook is never able to distinguish between the two certificates and e-mail addresses. It will always
use the last added certificate, regardless of auto select, default select or manual select.
I have two different named security settings in trust center, each with the correct certificate for the e-mail address. I have seen people do this with Outlook 2013 but I have failed with 2010.
In another thread here it is stated that the signing setting (and encryption setting) is profile specific. That is fine by me as I want to sign from both accounts, but from what I understand, if you have two named security settings Outlook should choose the
right one based on the e-mail address. That does not work...
Any ideas?
All the best,
Per

Hi,
If we have multiple accounts in a profile then it has to be manual process to add the certificate when sending emails. There is no automated way.
You can turn off e-mail address matching for certificates by editing your registry, try if this can help in this issue:

Sharepoint Foundation 2013 and Outlook 2010 Reminders

Hello, I have recently been informed by one of my users that they are experiencing a peculiar issue in regards to their SharePoint calendar. A brief history is that we are currently using SharePoint
Foundation 2013 with Outlook 2010, all of our users have calendars for their departments in SharePoint, and those calendars have been added to Outlook for their convenience. This particular user has a SharePoint alert set up on their calendar for all changes,
and receives an alert immediately. After some troubleshooting, this is how my user is getting the issue they described:
User1 will create an appointment from Outlook on the SharePoint calendar that User2 has their alert set up for. User2 will receive the appropriate alert email that there has been a new event
added to the calendar. User1 then receives an Outlook reminder that their event is coming up. If User1 clicks "dismiss" on that reminder, User2 will have another alert email generated hours later which informs them that the calendar event for User1
has been modified. If you view the event from SharePoint it will show a new modified time with User1's name, even though there have been no changes made. The other interesting part about the modified time is that it will not reflect when User1 clicked “dismiss”
on the reminder, instead it will reflect the time that the SharePoint alert email was generated.
This is not a fluke issue; I've been able to recreate the scenario 100% of the time if I follow this pattern. I can also simulate it on any calendar I create or that is already existing in our
environment.
I have been researching and trying to find an answer to this problem for several days now, but the only thing I have found is a post from someone else experiencing the same issue with no solution.
So any feedback would be greatly appreciated. If there is more information that is needed to better assist me, please let me know.
Thank you for your time.

Hello, if I remember correctly the issue was that I created the form with InfoPath 2013 and was trying to test using InfoPath 2010. This does not work.
Did you create the form using InfoPath 2013?
