Contacts and Exchange server

I got a new MB Air yesterday. Upon setting it up, I went to set it up the same way I have my desktop for my Exchange account. Mail and calendar work fine with my Exchange (office365) account. However, the Contacts application does not. Upon first setup, it gives the error: "The operation couldn’t be completed. (SOAPWebServicesErrorDomain error -997.)" None of my contacts show up. I have tried disabling/reenabling contacts through the Systems Preferences for this account, deleting the Addressbook folder under Library/Application support, deleting the account altogether and recreating, shutting down and coming back up. All to no avail. I checked all setup information against my desktop, and they look identical, yet on the MB Air the error persists. It works perfectly on my desktop, so the server is not at fault that I can tell.
Anyone has any ideas? Running OS X 10.9.4. Thanks.

+1... issue started with 10.10.1... very annoying as now all iMessage contacts are showing with just numbers...

  • ICloud backup for contacts and Exchange server

    I have my iPhone and iPad synchronizing to an Exchange server at work - this is where my calendar, contacts, and email live.  I'm wondering about this "backup to iCloud": if I do, how does this work? What I can't have is another set of contacts/calendar data somewhere that might someday get pushed to my phone and from there *back* to the Exchange server - I've had this problem before and I can't afford to have the correct "master copy" of the data messed up by synchronization from anywhere else.  On my iPhone, when setting up iOS5, I didn't disable it, and how when I try to turn off synchronizing contacts with iCloud, it says something like "there's a set of sync data on the phone, delete it?". I don't want it to delete anything that will affect the contacts (etc.) that was correct on the phone, and might get pushed to the Exchange server and delete stuff from there.  How will this work and what exactly gets copied to/from iCloud with respect to these things?

  • Contacts and Calendar Server, Pointless?

    Hello!
    MLS N00B here, not really much experience with ML Server. Only had it a few weeks, and the new Profile Managaer instead of WGM thing really messed me around, seems unstable and a little too new.
    Anyway. Todays discussion comes in the shape of Contacts and Calendar server. What are they actually for?
    Profile Manager pushed a payload to all users (by default) so they know where the calendar and contacts server is. This seems to be a side effect of activating the services in the Server app. However, the client computers don't actually seem to use them in any way.
    No contacts, not even the Directory contacts (searching via directory is enabled) are visible in the Contacts app. Nothing 'network' based in calendars either.
    Group calendars are also a mystery to me.
    My question is. Where would you create a 'Group' based contact list, or a 'Group' specific calendar? and make them available automagically (using PM) to all users within that group?
    I've tried creating Wiki specific calendars and assigning the correct groups and permissions, but I can't see how I'd get them in to iCal. I've even tried adding extra iCal payloads to the groups in PM and using the URL field - still nothing.
    Any help is welcome, thanks guys

    The 'server' Contacts and Calendars services in OS X server don't work the way you would expect — like the functionality you would see on a server app like Microsoft Exchange. That is that various users can have shared resources and/or you have server owned resources that you then make available to users/groups with individual, fine-grained permissions.
    You can have 'shared' server Contacts & Calendars in OS X Server but what you have to do is setup a (dedicated) user account on which you then create various calendars and address book(s). Then in the Calendar & Contacts apps on OS X and iOS you make accounts on the clients and use that pseudo account on the server as the account — not each individual users' account on the server. So each (real) user 'shares' the pseudo user's account with, obviously, full read-write access.
    It ain't beautiful... but it works.

  • How do I sync my contacts with exchange server?

    I have a mac and an ipad and an iphone and my office is all microsoft and pc's.  We are running outlook and exchange server.  My email works fine.  My calendar works "just ok" as it is quirky.  The BIG problem is syncing my contacts on all three devices with my company's contact list which lives on the exchange server.  What is the deal with this?  Is there a work-around?

    Let me fill in some blanks.  I have a powerbook running Lion and using mail, addressbook and ical.  My office is all on pc's and outlook and connected up on our network with exchange server.  So here is the issue:
    a.     It first surfaced when we got iphones.  Apple connects to exchange server's email and calendar relatively well but we have a COMPANY contact list that works great on exchange and outlook on everybody's PC's but DOES NOT work with the iphone unless you buy a third-party app that costs like $300.
    b.     THEN, I decided to get a mac and I have the same problem with the native apple applications (mail, addressbook and ical).  Everything works EXCEPT addressbook.  Basically, I have to create a fully redundant addressbook that will not talk to the exchange server company contact list.
    So my question is really this:  I don't want to have a separate contact list for my company contacts that does not sync with the mother ship.  I don't like not having all my contacts on all my devices.  It seems that there is a problem between the global contact list in exchange and my addressbook contacts on my apple devices.
    Does anybody know about this issue and does anybody know how to solve?

  • Deploying Windows Server 2012 and Exchange Server 2013

    Hi All,
    Our Clinet is planning to implement Exchange Server 2013 as an email solution. There is no Active Directory Domain exists in the environment. So, we have planned to configure a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard as a Domain Controller and Exchange
    Server 2013 Standard would be installed on another Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.
    The setup would be for 250 users. Please guide me about the Cost of OS + Exchnage and CAL for 250 Users.
    Warm Regards,
    Prosenjit Sen
    Thanks & Regards, Prosenjit Sen.

    Another option would be to consider signing up for Office 365 instead of setting up the hardware and software for such a small number of users.  It will take a long time for the cost of the hardware, maintenance, and support to be less costly than Office
    365, if it would ever be less expensive.  There is a lot of maintenance required for Exchange, so unless your client already has someone experienced in configuring and maintaining Exchange, there is a lot of expense in bringing someone up to speed to
    perform those functions capably.
    Just a suggestion.  I do not work for Microsoft and I have no financial incentive to propose an Office 365 environment.  I just know that if I were running my own business, I would have to be convinced that my business required its own internal
    mail system when there are so many fully functional and capable mail systems available via subscription.

  • Upgrading from SBS 2008 and Exchange Server 2007 and Adding Modest Failover Protection

    I haven't seen anyone describe this scenario, so maybe it can't be done, but it seems it should work. Can someone either confirm this is viable or set me straight and tell me it's not wise (and if not, why not).
    I currently have SBS 2008 (2008 Server + Exchange Server 2007 + some other components). I use redirected folders so all my user data is stored primarily on the server, and then sync'd with their local harddrives for roaming use and as an additional
    backup precaution. I want to upgrade to a modern version of Exchange (don't care too much about the underlying server OS, but seems like a good time to upgrade everything). I also want to improve the reliability for rapid recovery in the event of a system
    failure. I have always felt nervous with SBS because it only runs on a single server.
    My plan is:
    Install Windows Server 2012 Standard on a new server machine
    Join that new server to the existing SBS domain and sync the users, etc.
    Install Exchange Server 2013 on the new 2012 Server
    Migrate the existing Exchange data and account info to the new server
    Demote the SBS Server and promote the new server to primary DC
    Reformat the old SBS server and install Windows Server 2012 on it too, and join it to the domain as a second DC
    Set up DFS Replication and keep all my user data folders between the two servers (so if one server fails, the other can take over, just not automatically like with a cluster)
    Install Exchange Server 2013 on the reformatted 2012 Server box (so second instance on the domain) and set it up to sync with the first Exchange Server 2013 via DAG (so if either computer crashes, the other can take over for both Exchange Server and file
    services)
    Wouldn't that give me a complete slow-response failover system without the need for setting up a cluster (I know a cluster would provide instant failover protection, but I don't need that kind of speed - a manual switchover in the rare event of a server
    failure is acceptable for us)? I could do this using cheap hardware for each server, because unless both servers fail at the same time, clients can point to the other server. And because it's not a formal cluster, I don't need to buy anything for a shared
    SAN. This seems like such an obvious more cost-effective solution for a small network, I don't understand why this isn't a common approach, which makes me wonder if there is some reason it won't work.
    Any suggestions or feedback? Are Redirected Folders still recommended for users on a Server 2012-based domain?
    Thanks,
    Colin
    Colin

    Ed, thanks again for your help. OK, so here's my updated plan (I realize I should probably check on some of these pieces on the Server group, instead of this Exchange group).
    Constraints/objectives:
    None of the machines are truly server grade hardware, but only 5 people on the network, so performance is generally not an issue, unless a given server is just pegged on CPU or HD due to its own internal maintenance tasks and can't respond to user requests.
    Haven't seen any problems, since upgrading server from 4GB RAM to 8GB a few years ago.
    Not going to buy any new hardware at this time, but do have several unused consumer-grade computers I can deploy as wimpy or moderate servers.
    Main issue is to limit repair time in the event of a system failure (instant failover is not required, but want to be able to restore network functions within less than 24 hours in the event of a hardware failure) and minimize time spent on IT
    maintenance.
    Because of light IT maintenance (not anyone's primary job and we're too small to justify a dedicated IT person or to pay for outside help), almost every touch takes me research and time to re-learn what I haven't done in weeks, months, or years -- so also
    want to keep all IT tasks as simple as possible.
    We philosophically want to invest now for the next 5 years and avoid ongoing cloud fees (so zero interest in Windows Server Essentials with Exchange Online)
    A little nervous about using VM's, just because I never have before, but I do respect that's probably the right way to do many of these things...
    Currently I have SBS 2008 (Windows Server 2008 R2, Exchange Server 2007, WSUS 3, all with latest SP's, also includes SharePoint and other stuff, but I don't really care about most of it) on a single 8GB consumer grade system, which functions as a file
    server and Exchange server. We use Redirected Folders and Offline files for all users, which works great for us and provides additional file redundancy (if server goes down, all of each user's files are also on their own machine and they can even continue
    to work just fine w/o the server, losing only ability to send and receive e-mail). It has been sufficient, but I want to upgrade our version of Exchange and I am nervous that if that current one server fails, it would take me a long time to restore everything
    from backup, easily many days, especially if I need to buy any replacement hardware. It is RAID1, so a single drive failure is easy to handle, but that's the only hardware redundancy for the current server.
    New Plan:
    Install Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on a new modest machine (16GBR RAM, Core i7, 1TB RAID1 (may upgrade to 3 or 4 TB), 256 GB SSD boot drive, this had been my old personal computer)
    Join that new server to the existing SBS domain (2008 R2/Exchange 2007), make it a DC, sync the users, etc.
    Install Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard on a wimpy computer (4GB RAM Core i3 processor), leave it as a member server
    Install Exchange Server 2013 on the wimpy new 2012 R2 Server (and nothing else, this will be dedicated to Exchange to make the most of such a wimpy machine)
    Migrate the existing Exchange data from the old SBS Exchange 2007 server and account info to the new server
    (or should I just create new accounts and copy the data from the user end through Outlook -- is that safer and cleaner than attempting any kind of server-level Exchange data migration?)
    Demote the old SBS Server and promote the new 16GB server to primary DC. Now it's OK to take the old SBS server off the network.
    Reformat the old SBS server and install Windows Server 2012 R2 on it too, and join it to the domain as a second DC (and possibly DCPROMO it to be the main server)
    Install Exchange Server 2013 in a VM on the reformatted 2012 R2 Server box (so second instance on the domain for Exchange redundancy) and set it up to sync with the first Exchange Server 2013 via DAG OR set up another physical wimpy member server and install
    it there. In any case, do NOT install Exchange directly on either DC.
    Set up DFS Replication or a Failover Cluster (still need to research this, but I had planned on DFS, thinking Cluster required shared drive, but Ed corrected me on this) between the two DC's for redirected files and keep all my user data folders between
    the two servers. We don't need automatic failover, like with a cluster, a manual switch would be acceptable, but if no additional cost or risk to clustering the two DC's, then the auto-failover protection that provides would be better than DFS.
    I think this incorporates all of your points, Ed. Does this sound right now? What's your advice on #5 (how to best migrate user data)?
    Thanks so much for all your help,
    Colin

  • VLAN and Exchange server

    Hi everyone,
    We need help on the configuration of our Exchange server and VLAN.
    Since I'm a beginner in VLAN configurations.
    We are using Cisco SG300 switch and Exchange server.
    We have 2 NICs on our server, with 1 having a static Public(internet) IP for internet which is directly connected to our ISP modem(complete with IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS), the other NIC has a static Local(intranet) IP for local network(with IP Address and Subnet Mask only).
    Our Problem is we cannot add an Default Gateway on the 2nd NIC(intranet) because it says conflict with the gateway specified on the other NIC.
    We want to add a Default Gateway on the 2nd NIC(intranet) to be become accessible from other VLANs.
    How can the server be accessible to other different VLANs on our network?
    What will be the best approach on this?
    Thanks in advance.
    J

    You should add routes to your windows routing table.
    So if your server is in VLAN 10.10.10.0/24 and has the IP of 10.10.10.2 and your router is 10.10.10.1 then you can add routes to all your VLANs by adding the networks and routing them through 10.10.10.1.
    For example, in your command prompt on Windows you would type:
    route -p ADD 10.10.11.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1
    route -p ADD 10.10.12.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1
    route -p ADD 10.10.13.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.1
    That would make your computer access all the internal VLANs as well as make it reachable from those VLANs.

  • Can I sync my personal pop and exchange server calendar/contacts ??

    The "genius" at Apple Store says no, but others have said yes. I am using Outlook for my personal email/contacts/calendar and an exchange server outlook for my business email/contacts/calendar. I would like to be able to sync both outlook profiles. I can get email from both pop and iMap accounts, but it seems that I can only sync one calendar and contacts. When I activated active sync, it synced my exchange server info, but I have no way to sync my Outlook Pop account. Active sync was about to overwrite the other info. Any thoughts?

    With your iPhone connected with iTunes, check under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences.
    3.0 included the ability to sync contacts and calendars direct with the supported application(s) on your computer along with syncing contacts and calendars over the air - at least with a MobileMe account. I'm not sure if the same is available when syncing contacts and calendars OTA with an Exchange account, but it should be.

  • Delegate access to users to create and edit mail contacts in exchange server 2013

    Hi,
    Can I delegate access to users to create/edit/delete contacts in Exchange 2013, if yes, how?

    Hi,
    From your description, you want to grant users the permission to manage mail contacts. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
    Based on my knowledge, you need to add these users to Organization Management Role group and Recipient Management Role group.
    For more information, here is a thread for your reference, please see the "Recipient Provisioning Permissions" section.

  • How do I setup Address Book to view shared contacts on Exchange Server 2010?

    At work we have MS Exchange Server 2010.  I recently switched from Entourage to native OSX Lion apps Mail, iCal and Address Book.  Mail and iCal work fine so far with Exchange (IE. I can add delegates, see their calendars, etc.) but when using Address Book, I can only see my contacts.  In Entourage I was able to search other user's contacts and copy them to mine if I desired.  Is this not possible with Address Book?

    Are you sure you did that right ... because I did a File/Backup Address Book, and the file named included the date. I then copied the file through our Airport network from the Powerbook to a new iMac. The opening Address Book on the iMac, I did a File/Revert to Address Book Backup, which allows you to choose the file. Now the iMac had the same Address Book file as the Powerbook. This looks to me to be the same thing you are trying to do.

  • MacBook Pro, Snow Leopard and Exchange Server

    My wife is considering a MacBook Pro for her business (we have one at home). At her work they have Exchange Server. With our home MacBook Pro I have been able to connect to her Exchange server through Entourage. (however I think her Exchange server is version 4 and not 7). Anyway, we are getting mail, contacts and her calendar through Exchange but we are not getting shared calendars and I don't know how to access her files on the Exchange server. I really want her to buy a MacBook but we need to make sure that shared calendars and file sharing works. Can someone inform me about this?
    Her company is upgrading to Exchange server 7 in December and I know that Snow Leopard allows Exchange to work through Mail, Address Book and iCal. Again, I need to know if calendar sharing and file sharing can work. Thanks.

  • Mail and Exchange server

    Hi,
    I work at an all Windows company, being one of the only Mac there, I almost have no support and I'm stuck. I have Mail.app configured with our Exchange server, I can receive messages but I can only send them to people in our company, any address outside get stuck in the outbox with a message asking to try another server.
    Anybody got an idea how to fix that ?

    I had the same issue but only when I was sending outside of my company's network. The issue was traced to the internet service provider (ISP). Here is what was done to correct for it:
    + Register your email address with your ISP. Contact your ISP and they will walk you through it.
    + When you are connected through your ISP be sure to use their outgoing ISP settings, not the Exchange outgoing settings. In Mail, just below the to and cc you will see a drop down for your various email addresses and drop down for outgoing servers.
    Hope this helps,
    Mike
