AssignedConferenceTypeByDefault setting for recurring meetings

I know that the default setting for the Lync variable "AssignedConferenceTypeByDefault" sets it so that your conference ID will change from meeting to meeting if changed from its default
value of true to false.
What I would like to know is what is the behavior of recurring meetings when this is set to false?
For instance when set to false, if I create three separate Lync meetings, I will have three unique conference ID's, but if I create one meeting which recurs every week on Monday at 8am, does that
conference ID stay the same for every one of those meetings, or does it change? 
We have been doing some testing internally by changing the option in Lync Meeting Options, not changing the AssignedConferenceTypeByDefault
value and find that recurring meetings retain the same ID and does not change. I am just curious if this behavior will be the same when we change the AssignedConferenceTypeByDefault value
to false.

Hi,
AssignedConferenceTypeByDefault – Determines whether new meetings will be configured, by default, as public meetings. Set this value to True to use public meetings by default; set this value to False to use private meetings by default.
If you set EnableAssignedConferenceType to false, then no checkbox to customize settings,
outlook will always create a new private meeting with different meeting id. So when you create a recurring meeting, the conference ID will be the same when you join the meeting everytime.

  • Outlook 2007 Calendar Monitoring: track send event for recurring meetings

    Hi,
    I'm working on an Outlook 2007, VSTO 2010, .NET 3.5 add-in which monitors AppointmentItem objects changed on the user's calendar. Specifically I'm tracking the send event of the currently selected appointment in the calendar view. Currently my add-in is
    set to cancel the send event and call Display() on the selected appointment instead.
    I'm testing with Outlook 2007 SP3. The event handler is fired correctly for non-recurring meetings when the user changes the start or end time of the meeting and for recurring meeting occurrences / exceptions when the user changes the end time, but not when
    the user changes the start time of a recurring meeting occurrence / exception. These are the specific steps:
    Create a recurring appointment with e.g. 3 occurrences, add at least one attendee and send the invitation.
    Set the Calendar to display a Week View.
    Select the top edge of the first occurrence of the appointment created in step 1 and drag it upwards to increase the length of the appointment by half an hour.
    Release the mouse button and press enter to confirm the change.
    Answer 'Save changes and send update' in the popup.
    At this point the addin should cancel the send event and display the appointment, but actually the event handler is not called. This behavior occurs only when I change the start time of an occurrence / exception. When I change the end time the event handler
    is called correctly.
    Do you have any clue why the event handler is only called for the one change and not for the other? How could I work around this issue?

    Hi Eugene,
    Thanks for your reply. Here is my code:
    public class ExplorerMonitor {private Explorer explorer;private AppointmentItem selectedAppointment;
    public ExplorerMonitor()
    this.explorer = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveExplorer();
    this.explorer.SelectionChange += new ExplorerEvents_10_SelectionChangeEventHandler(Explorer_SelectionChange);
    private void Explorer_SelectionChange()
    Selection selection = null;
    object selectedItem = null;
    bool eventsHookedUp = false;
    try
    // first remove the listeners from the previously selected item
    this.StopSelectedItemMonitor();
    selection = this.explorer.Selection;
    if (selection.Count == 1)
    selectedItem = selection[1];
    AppointmentItem appointment = selectedItem as AppointmentItem;
    if (appointment != null)
    this.selectedAppointment = appointment;
    ((ItemEvents_10_Event)this.selectedAppointment).Send
    += new ItemEvents_10_SendEventHandler(SelectedAppointment_Send);
    // Stop monitoring when the item is opened in an explorer window.
    this.selectedAppointment.Open
    += new ItemEvents_10_OpenEventHandler(SelectedAppointment_Open);
    eventsHookedUp = true;
    catch (System.Exception exception)

  • Outlook 2013 VBA Event for recurring appointments

    Hello,
    I have VBA code that copies new Calendar entries to a secondary calendar. For recurring meetings it only copies the 1st meeting to the secondary calendar. Is there an Outlook VBA event that occurs whenever a Recurring appointment is created and/or edited?
    I have done some searching on the Internet but haven't found any answers.
    Adrian Hernandez

    Hello Adrian,
    The Outlook object model doesn't provide such events. Instead, make sure that the RecurrencePattern object is set properly on the copied appointment item. The
    GetRecurrencePattern method of the AppointmentItem class returns a RecurrencePattern object
    that represents the recurrence attributes of an appointment. If there is no existing recurrence pattern, a new empty RecurrencePattern object is returned.
    The IsRecurring property of the AppointmentItem class is based on
    the GetRecurrencePattern method.
    When the GetRecurrencePattern method
    is used with an AppointmentItem object,
    this property is set to True.
    Be aware, when you work with recurring appointment items, you should release any prior references, obtain new references to the recurring appointment item before you access or modify the item, and release these references as soon as you are finished and
    have saved the changes. This practice applies to the recurringAppointmentItem object,
    and any Exception or RecurrencePattern object.
    To release a reference in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) or Visual Basic, set that existing object to Nothing. In C#, explicitly release the memory for that object. For a code example, see the topic for the AppointmentItem object.
    Note that even after you release your reference and attempt to obtain a new reference, if there is still an active reference, held by another add-in or Outlook, to one of the above objects, your new reference will still point to an out-of-date copy
    of the object. Therefore, it is important that you release your references as soon as you are finished with the recurring appointment.

  • Lync 2010 Recurring meetings don't work post-migration when 2010 server is shut down

    I've got an interesting issue here. I completed my Lync Server 2010 -> 2013 migration about 6 months ago, and everything has been going fine as far as I can tell. I left one of the servers up and running in the 2010 pool for a while. I finally decided
    it was time to fully decommission Lync Server 2010, so I shut down my 2010 server. I did not delete from the topology just yet, in case something bad happened. Well, when I shut it down, I got reports from some users that they couldn't get into their Lync
    Meetings.
    The only conclusion I have been able to draw is that this happens for recurring meetings that were scheduled before the Lync Server 2013 migration. It seems that those meetings did not get migrated with the users. Does anyone have any guidance for this situation?
    I'm guessing there's no way to actually move the meetings. At best, I'd like to simply be able to identify users who are in this situation and have them reschedule their meetings. I think there are few enough of them that we can handle that.

    That's seems odd per:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj688011.aspx 
    What is the user experience?
    Have you followed all the decommission steps? Have you tried Move-CsConferenceDirectory:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412968.aspx
    "When you create a dial-in conferencing Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), those URIs are assigned unique SIP addresses. However, SIP addresses are difficult to translate to devices that are not SIP-aware; for example, a public switched telephone network
    (PSTN) telephone can’t translate a SIP address. Because of that, Lync Server uses conference directories as a way to help these devices locate, and connect to, dial-in conferences. This is done by creating a SIP conference directory that is associated with
    each dial-in conferencing URI, and is identified by an integer value rather than a SIP URI. PSTN telephones and other devices can then use these numbers instead of a SIP URI when connecting to conferences; the directory number is included in the PSTN conference
    identification users enter when connecting to a dial-in conference.
    Occasionally, you might need to move a conference directory from one pool to another; for example, if you decommission a pool you might need to move your existing conference directories to a new location. The
    Move-CsConferenceDirectory cmdlet enables you to move conference directories to a different pool."

  • IPhone + Outlook, recurring meetings not adjusted for Daylight Saving (Arizona)

    Anybody else out there living in Phoenix and syncing with Outlook?
    I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1 and I sync my calendar with Outlook 2007 running on Windows XP.  Recurring meetings that were sent from another timezone are not showing the correct time following the Daylight Saving Time (DST) change on Nov. 6.
    For example, I have a recurring meeting for Tuesdays that was originally sent to me July 26, 2011 (during DST, that is) by my customer in California.  In Outlook the time is shown as 8:00 AM Pacific Time.  During DST this meeting was shown correctly in Calendar as 8:00AM.  Today it still shows as 8:00 but should show as 9:00 (8:00 PST = 9:00 MST).
    Phone Settings:  My iPhone's time zone was originally set this morning to "Set Automatically ON" and it had selected Denver although I'm in Phoenix.  I understand that Denver and Phoenix now share the same time.  I turned "Set Automatically" off and selected "Phoenix, U.S.A." then resynced, but the appoinment above still shows 8:00.
    So how do I fix this?  I really don't want my customer to have to resend the invite just to fix an iOS bug. 

    Not sure if people are still looking at this post, but we did finally find a fix for the issue.
    In the end we figured out that one of our exchange mail box users had something faulty in their profile. By "faulty", our exchange admins attempted to move the user's mail profile from one mail store to another, but exchange returned errors when attempting to do so.
    In order to "fix" the issue we ended up deleting the mail profile completely from exchange and then recreating it from scratch - scary prospect when having to do this with someone high up the food chain... (prior export and reimport essential otherwise all data is lost)
    (the user dealt with many meetings for multiple staff, and was a common factor between all users getting the issue)
    I wouldn't call this specifically a MS issue as prior to ipad/iphones, these issues did not occur, and even while it was occuring, turning off mail on ipad/iphones meant the issue did not occur and other email clients had no issues at all
    - so it looks like something in the iphone is not quite robust enough to be able to handle a few errors
    (alternative theory: perhaps it is the iphone that created the issue in the first place??? We don't know when the issue with the actual mail account started and not enough resources to trowel through log files looking for a needle in a haystack)
    Anyway, not sure if this will help everyone with the same issue, but thought I'd share our experience

  • How do I set a recurring event for the last day of the month on iphone 4s calendar?

    I want to set a recurring event for the last day of every month - regardless of the date/number of days in the month. I'd prefer not to have to use an app to do this.

    Hi,
    You can do this using the custom repeat in iCal. You'll need two events to cover the second and fourth Mondays.
    Create the event on the second Monday of the month. In Repeat select Custom... > Frequency: Monthly > On the: second Monday.
    Do the same for the Fourth Monday.
    Best wishes

  • Outlook Multiday/Recurring meetings move to the next day on iPhone/iPad and Outlook for MAC.

    Exchange 2010 environment.  Outlook 2007 and 2010 on Windows desktops.  Multiple day appointments or recurring meetings in Outlook do not appear on the iPhone, iPad or Outlook for MAC with the same date.  They are all moved forward to the next day.  Single day or non-recurring meetings are synced correctly.  Not finding much on this.  All users affected with these devices.

  • Recurring meetings or tasks?

    Hi everyone,
    Is there a way to schedule recurring meetings/tasks/events in a users calendar?
    Best regards,
    John

    Hi John,
    Are you using Outlook for email? If yes, you could set up the meeting in Outlook and then sync to SBO with the Outlook Integration add-on. If other users are included in the meeting, this may be better since you can't invite/include other users in SBO meetings.
    Otherwise, what you want to do is not feasible if you don't want to use Follow-up as a workaround (which I can understand since that's not what it is). It would probably be a SDK.

  • Why does iCal not provide for recurring To Do's?

    I recently installed Leopard on my iMac and MacBook Pro, which instantly killed my ability to sync with my Blackberry via Pocket Manager for Mac. I thus purchased and installed Missing Sync, which seems to work ok, but is far from a straightforward solution. Missing Sync does not synch directly between the Blackberry device and Entourage, but instead circuitously syncs the two via the iCal application. This limits the capability of Entourage to what is available in iCal.
    Given that situation, I find iCal has at least one glaring omission. While Entourage allows for recurring dates on a Task, iCal does not on its To Do's--and thus resets all Entourage Tasks to single occurrence upon a sync. The workaround seems to be to create the recurring item as a Calendar Event, which does allow for recurrence in iCal, as opposed to creating it as a task. The downside in this is that there is no To Do List view which shows these items.
    Any solution other than the above workaround? Any plans to fix this?

    I also would like to see recurring To Do's. I know that you can do recurring events in iCal but that clutters up my calendar. I am a homemaker/housewife and when I used microsoft office then I had all sorts of recurring to do's (i.e. change out furnace filters, pet medicines, order new credit report, etc). When i would complete the to do then it would automatically reenter a new one for 1 month, 3 months, 1 year (whatever I had set for that particular item). Is Apple every going to incorporate this into there To Do list. And also I would like to see the To Do's on the iPhone just like you can see the notes.

  • How to schedule a workflow for recurring executions: The solution

    Scheduling a workflow for recurring execution has been long awaited in WFA, perhaps from 2.0 time. The following document shows how to get it done. I've also explained the logic behind it. It’s very simple to use, meets every requirement which one can have from a scheduler and of course highly flexible. Let's go!! The Real stuff. What is this? Is this actually a scheduler? No. This is actually a command in your workflow, but a special 'magical' command. This 'magical' command logic is built using the answers for the following questions: Can a workflow be scheduled for a delayed execution in a future time? Yes, but only one execution instance. If you want the next execution, execute the workflow again providing the same set of inputs and the execution date/time.During workflow execution, can a command inside a workflow get to know what is the  name of the workflow? YesDuring workflow execution, can the command know what is the job execution id? YesIs there any programmatic interface available to know what are the user input provided or a particular job execution? YesCan a command inside a workflow trigger another workflow? Yes.Can a command inside the same workflow trigger itself? Absolutely yes. I've ticked all boxes needed to build such a solution. The solution is to make the workflow a smart workflow, so smart that it can schedule itself for the next execution. It no longer needs any other task scheduler to tigger it. WFA provides a large set of REST APIs for other 3rd part SW integration. But I  also can make  good use of these APIs to make smart workflows. I have always believed that WFA should not only be seen as a framework for automating Storage boxes or server, but just about any task( inside a computer of course) which is done manually. WFA is an awesome product indeed.  So this is a command called "Workflow Scheduler" which  you can put in your workflow as another command. Prerequisites: You need PowerShell 3.0 on your WFA server. I certainly could have done it for PoSH2.0 as well, but life for web interfaces  using PowerShell is so much easier with Posh3.0. Posh3.0 is a big jump from 2.0. WFA is fully supported to work on Posh3.0. Its available by default in Win2012, Win2008 can be upgraded, Win2003 users can't use it. Add credentials of a WFA Admin/Architect in you WFA itself with Name/IP: localhost Match: ExactType: OtherName/IP: localhostUsername: <WFA Admin/Architect Username>Password: <User Password>   3.  Minimum WFA version 2.2. This is only needed for Importing the dar. I've provided the command code in text too. The command code is the real deal. How to use it? If you have a workflow which you want for recurring executions, just add this command "Workflow Scheduler" in it. The command takes parameters for the workflow execution intervals. For example minsInterval for executing this workflow every x minutes, or daysInterval for executing the workflow etc.Now just like a normal workflow execution execute this workflow deciding what is the trigger time. Example: Suppose you want the execution every day at 10:00 PM.So provide daysInterval = 1 And execute the workflow for a delayed execution at 10:00 PM. You can pick the day to start as you wish. The workflow will execute at 10:00 PM and when this execution reaches our magical command "workflow scheduler", this command will trigger the same workflow  with same set of inputs for the next execution at 10:00 PM tomorrow. And so on an so forth. I’ve attached a very simple example workflow here to help you understand. An Example of a workflow scheduled for recurring execution Daily at 11:30 PM starting 10-March-2015     How to stop/suspend this recurring execution? Easy. You just abort the next scheduled job execution in Execution=> Execution Status. The cycle will stop. How to resume it? Easy again. Just resume the same aborted job. The cycle restarts. Can I change the schedule execution time? Yes. After aborting the current execution, you can resume the same workflow at a new time. Execution interval can't be modified as you can't change the command parameters. But the recurring execution now can occur at a new time. Where or which position to place this “workflow scheduler” command in your workflow? At the beginning ? At the end? Or somewhere in the middle. This completely depends on your choice. See some below cases. You don't want the next job execution scheduling to happen if any of the commands in my current workflow execution fails: Put command “workflow scheduler” in the end. It will trigger the schedule of the next job execution only when all real original commands of your workflow have passed. else not.     You want continuous job executions irrespective of the workflow command failures: Put it in the beginning. It will trigger the schedule for next execution before any of the actual command begin executing.     You want an approval before the next execution job is scheduled: Add an approval point before the comamnd.           So it’s all left to you.      Can an operator decide the execution schedule? Yes, but which workflows will be available to him/her for this recurring execution will have to be decided by the designer. This is a good thing to have as it serves for access control in a way. The Architect/Admin can now restrict which workflow can be put for recurring executions. Operators can’t execute just any workflow available to him for automatic recurring execution. And the workflow designer can also choose which scheduling parameter is to be made a variable for the operator. For example the designer want the operator to schedule a given workflow only for weeks Interval and not months or days i.e. he/she can only chose to schedule for weekly, biweekly etc. executions and  nothing else. For this the designer can define a User-Input variable only for weeksInterval parameter. It’s Done. You want workflow execution to be scheduled either for daily or once in 2 days but not any other. You can restrict this. Or he/she wants to give full freedom to the operator make his/her own decision about scheduling, he defined user-input variable for all scheduling parameters. The workflow designer wants weekly schedule but the day should not be a weekday: You can even do this. Is this flexible enough for my requirements? I’ve attached the very command code. You can modify the command as per your requirements. Suppose you want daily execution of a certain workflow at 10:00 PM but skip a day of execution if the day is a Monday. Modify the code check for the day and add another day if it’s a Monday. Its posh code and highly readable. So you can see how this can be used in a  variety of ways. This is the beauty of a programmatic solution. Its highly flexible, it allows users to design solution based on their requirements. Flexibility is the heart & soul of WFA. Thats why I like it. I have a workflow but I don't want to modify it by adding a new command in it. Can I still use this solution? Yes but with WFA 3.0 on wards. WFA3.0 allows to create modular workflows. Create a parent workflow with you actual workflow as a child workflow in it. Add our “workflow scheduler” command too. So now you don't need to touch your existing workflow. I've attached a workflow example here.   Have fun!! sinhaa  

    Providing a new version 1.1.0 of the command "WFA Schedular" Changes made: Added conditional String Representation based on the Scheduling parameter provided. Provided check for the right number of parameters passed into the command.Added a new parameter "Expiry Date" to automatically stop the recurring execution upon expiry.Check for Posh3.0 version in code.Have Fun!! sinhaa Below example for:Schedule a workflow for recurring execution every alternate day i.e. once in 2 days at 10:30 PM starting 06-Jul-2015 (Today's date is 02-Jul-2015) . The recurring workflow execution  should expire on 31-Dec-2015 and stop.  

  • Exchange Calendar Sync & Recurring Meetings

    I'm having a problem with recurring meetings in my Outlook calendar.  I have a Touchpad and Pre Plus synced to the calender.  A couple of times when I recieved notice of a cancelled meeting for one occurence in a series, I clicked Remove from Calendar and it was removed from the Outlook calendar on my computer.  It was not removed from the calendar on the Touchpad and Pre, even after syncing.  If I try to delete the occurence from the devices it does not work - on the Touchpad the event disappears for a second or so and then re-appears.  On the Pre it just remains on the calendar.

  • Can I set a recurring event which falls on a specific day

    I would like to set events in my Calendar which fall on specific days of the Week or Month e.g. 2nd Monday of each month; or the last Friday on the month.  I would be obliged if anyone can advise on how this can be done.

    That feature does not exist in the built in calendar app. What you see in the settings for recurring events is what you get. There are other calendar apps available in the App Store. Check some of them out and you might find one that suits your needs better.
    Look at this one.
