Deploy Default Font Settings with Outlook 2010 SP2

Hi team
Until Office 2010 SP1 it was possible to deploy a registry key to set the default fonts in Outlook. This was the following key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\MailSettings\...
This keys remained after a user logged in the first time to a computer resp. after the user started Outlook the first time.
Now with installed SP2, this keys are deleted after the first start of Outlook and a REG_EXPAND_SZ string called "Template" is created.
Is this issue known and whats the solution to deploy default fonts in Outlook 2010 SP2.
Regards,
Stephen

Hi,
Please add the registry key manually after the user logged in the first time, does this registry key still takes effect then? If yes, try to deploy this registry key via OCT to check the result.
For this kind of issue, one method I suggest is to deploy a NormalEmail.dotm template to users, in which the default font has been configured. For example, put it on a network shared location, use a startup script to remove the existing template on the user's
client, then copy the shared template to each user's local path. The location should be: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates.

Search issue with Outlook 2010 SP2 in Online mode

We are dealing with a weird issue that started after a routine maintenance window this past week. We took our Exchange 2010 server down while we performed maintenance on our SANs. After bring the servers back up we have developed an issue in
Outlook with searching. When a user searches for emails only those that are before the outage are returned in the resultant set even if an email from after the outage matches the search. However, if you search from OWA all the expected results
are returned. Please remember that we are in Online mode with Outlook and not cached mode.
I can say that I have checked Exchange and it appears that all indexes are fine and the fact that OWA returns the correct result would prove that.
One other thing to note. If you do an Advanced Find in Outlook and select frequently-used text fields it give weird search results, but it will include the emails from this week.
What am I missing? I can't think of anything else to look for.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, when Outlook is in Online Mode, the search is based on the Exchange Search Service. Although the search works on OWA, I still suggest you try re-indexing on Exchange Server to check the result.
Moreover, there are some steps we can perform to narrow down this issue:
1. Switch to Cached Exchange Mode, then the Index is based on the local computer, check if then the issue persists. If the issue persists, we can say it's not about the index, maybe something else stops Outlook from searching properly, such as an add-in.
Also, it can be a workaround if it works in Cached Mode.
2. Create a new Outlook Profile to setup the account, check if the problem persists. Please do not remove the previous profile as this is just a test, I want to know if the problem persists with a new profile.
Please feel free to post back with more details.

Outlook 2010 SP2 - Error when editing shared calendar: Post Exchange 2013 CU2 Migration

Hi there,
I have a strange comportment with Outlook 2010 SP2 and Exchange 2013 CU2 and i really need your help.
Frequently, when an user (who has the good permissions for) want to edit a shared calendar (edit a meeting or add one), he has this error message:
" Cannot display the folder. Your server administrator has limited the number of items you can open simultaneously. Try closing message you have opened or removing attachments and images from unsent messages you are composing "
I see anything in the Exchange server event log but i have each time, an error message in the client event log:
" Microsoft Office14 Alerts ID 300"
Everything work very well with Outlook 2013.
Many thanks in advance for your assistance, and I am looking forward to reading from you.

Hi,
According to your description, the issue is related to your Office 2010 client.
And the issue can be resolved by installing the Microsoft Office 2010 Deployment Kit.
Here are the steps you can refer to :
1. Open a command prompt with administrative permissions.
2. Browse to the directory that contains the Offvirt.msi.
3. At the command prompt, run the following command:
msiexec /i OffVirt.msi [licensing flags]
You must enter a correct licensing flag in the following list to correctly configure the Deployment Kit. Otherwise, functionality may be incorrect.
For more information, you can refer to the following article:

No Default Mail Client Error with Outlook 2010, Server 2008 R2 Terminal Server, and TAM

We are running a software package on a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server called TAM (The Agency Manager) along with Outlook 2010. The application uses a MAPI connection to retrieve mail data from Outlook to be able to send and receive messages inside
the application. On our individual PC's this works just fine, but on the Terminal Server users we get the message "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook
and set it as the default mail client."
I've tried the steps listed in KB 813745 which tells you to delete the registry keys and run a repair in Office, but that didn't resolve the issue. I've searched on this issue, but haven't found anything useful. Any suggestions would be much
appreciated.

Try to set DEP and add outlook.exe. I had outlook 2007 same problem. With DEP enabled and outlook, word en excel also added to the list it worked again.
You can find it under this computer, properties, then change settings. Click advanced tab and then select the first "settings" option.The click the "Data Execution Prevention" (DEP) and select the last option and add the office programs
there.
Hope this helps.

ICloud not syncing with Outlook 2010 Calendar

First I should say that I had successfully setup iCloud with all my devices: iP4, iPad2 and Win7 PC with Outlook 2010. A few days ago I had to reinstall Outlook. I re-installed iCloud via Control Panel and successfully downloaded the iCloud Calendar to Outlook. All the devices sync with iCloud but Outlook does not. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Glad that romlee's fix worked for Donawat! This iCloud situation is just a fiasco if you work in Windows and use Outlook.
I had been having problems with accurate syncing ever since I downloaded the OS 5, which is obviously not meant for the iPhone 4. (Phone has been glitchy too but that is another story.)
Previously, I was on Outlook 2007 with Windows 7 home premium. While I could get things to work, I was having the same problem that others have: duplicate entries, incorrect entries, entries that just won't show up, etc. After lots of research (and many what I consider wasted hours) I was able to find a fix that worked for me.
First of all, I want to point out that one of the reasons it doesn't work well is because Apple created a file format for iCloud that does not create a .PST file (which is what Outlook uses). Apple should just be up front about this as they have severely damaged their reputation with Windows users who have iPhones, plus they are wasting a lot of people's time.
Second, unless you already have a me.com account, you can no longer create one.
Third, I came to realize that iCloud does not update its records. It just keeps adding the same things over and over again which I theorize causes the duplicates. Even if you merge the calendars, it just creates new calendar threads (the new colored dot entries in calendar lists).
My goal was to GET RID OF iCLOUD. If you want to keep using iCloud, what I did probably won't help you but please read it and see if an idea to solve your problem arises out of it.
Before I had yesterday's problem, I took the time and spent the money to upgrade Windows 7 to the Ultimate version, and then updated Office to 2010 from 2007.
After all the files downloaded and installed, I proceeded to try and make syncing with iCloud work. Foolishly, I thought it would work better if I had the newer software.
I ended up spending a total of six hours trying to figure out where my Outlook data went, why my calendar and contacts weren't showing in my personal files, and trying to get it back where it belonged. After more research and hours spent updating my data files, I was able to move things back to Outlook personal folders. What I ended up doing was this:
1) In Outlook 2010, if syncing via iCloud, you will see personal folders and iCloud folders. Open the iCloud folders and look at all the Calendars (it just keeps creating them; there were 5 export to outlook calendars and I think 7 iCloud calendars). Find the calendar that is yours (the one you know is the most recent and has the info you are looking for).
2) When you identify the correct calendar, open it using list view. (You can access that in Outlook 2010 via the View menu, then use the change view button). The list of dates will show up as a list in date order from oldest to newest. Review this entire list and delete all the duplicates or things you don't want to keep. Once this is done, you are ready to move the file.
3) After you have your calendar file the way you want it, still in list view, hit control + a to select all, then press the copy to folder button. A window will open with all your files in it; select the calendar -personal folders file and click ok. Change your view to Calendar and you will see that all the items have moved over. WARNING: because of all the weirdness with iCloud, some of your recurrences and other dates may be missing. I found this happened with recurrences rather than appointments because the appointments are duplicated so many times but some other things may be missing.
at this point, it (the calendar) does not yet show up in outlook today. *You will change your data file in account settings later.*
4) Go back to the iCloud folders and open the contacts. Select list, select all, and then copy to contacts-personal folder as with the calendar items. Check your contacts there and make sure the list has moved.
5) Close outlook.
6) Open iTunes with your phone connected via USB. Under info, switch everything you want to sync back to Outlook. Then close iTunes and unplug your USB connection.
7) Find your iCloud icon under Control Panel. Select "sign out." It is not necessary to keep a copy unless it makes you feel more comfortable. If you have another backup system like Carbonite you should be okay. Of course, it never hurts to make a copy (but if you do, it takes awhile and it is not clear where it ends up).
8) Open outlook again; go to account settings. Under data files, select Personal Folders as the default file. You will still see an iCloud archive on your list after you change it.
9) after you do this, it will take several minutes for Outlook to switch over to the Personal Folders data file. Be patient. After this is done, you will be able to use Outlook 2010 without the iCloud files showing up or interfering with the function of the software or syncing.
10) Once Outlook has successfully switched files, close it again.
11) On your iPhone, go to settings and select the iCloud menu. Turn off iCloud sync on each item you have been syncing. When it asks if you want to keep all the items that iCloud has placed there, select DELETE.
This is an act of bravery; I had no idea what would happen when I did it. However, it worked out fine because it wiped my calendar and contacts clean on the iPhone. No more duplicates. A bit scary because no more ANYTHING but when I synced the phone again, it all came back -- and no dupes.
12) after you turn off iCloud on your phone, plug your iPhone into the USB port, turn on iTunes. After iTunes recognizes your phone, it will sync again. All your contacts and calendar items will be transferred back to your iPhone (and no duplicates!)
I am very pleased that I was able to figure this out, but disgusted at Apple's irresponsibility with claiming iCloud works with everything. It obviously doesn't and I wasted a lot of time and lost some data due to the iCloud.
In summary: This is what I did to get rid of iCloud. If you want to keep it, I don't know how helpful this will be.
Reminder: I did this in a Windows 7 Ultimate environment with Outlook 2010. I also have iTunes 10.5.2 (most recent version). Note: In Outlook 2007, 10.5.2 causes a glitch that claims iTunes can't find Outlook even if it is there.
You can repair the glitch in 2007 by closing all your programs, go to the control panel, then open the Programs menu. Find your Office 2007 program and right click. It gives you the option to repair or uninstall. Select REPAIR and then the windows installer will run. Follow the prompts and then restart. You will be able to see Outlook again from iTunes.
Hopefully, this will help others not waste time trying to make their technology function smoothly!
Thanks to the Apple community for the answers I've received.

Viewmail 8.6.5 not working with outlook 2010

Hello,
I try to configure viewmail 8.6.5 with outlook 2010 on a windows 7 computer. We have unity 7 and exchange 2007. I enter all the information in the viewmail setup but when I click test settings it says unable to find the voice mail server. The unity server name I entered is correct I can also ping it from my computer. Any suggestions.
Thanks.

Hello Horacio,
At this point we are missing what outlook version you have and what exact version of Unity or UConnection.
1-Check Compatibility Matrix: Cisco Unity and the Software on Subscriber Workstations
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity/compatibility/matrix/cuclientmtx.html#wp364674
and see if everything matches accordingly to the supported versions, this is a well known issue. If everything does continue with option below.
2-Beside the server name try with the IP instead.
3-Check if you have turned on the SSl, if you do turn it off and try again
Best Regards,
David Peck

No default search folders in Outlook 2010

Hi there,
I joined a new company and we use Exchange 2010 SP3 UR6 with Outlook 2010. All users are using Online-Mode, nothing cached. Nobody has the default search folders. I ran outlook with /cleanfinders /resetfolders, nothing.
It's not vital of course, but I'm still wondering how that can be. New and old mailboxes only have the "root" Search Folder. Left click on it does nothing (is this normal? From my memory I don't think so), right click offers to create a new one...
Cheers

Hi,
Your administrator can specify whether to create the standard default Search Folders when Outlook starts for the first time by using group policy. See:
Please contact your administrator and confirm if he has applied the policy. For your reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179004(v=office.12).aspx
Note: This article is for Outlook 2007, it also applies to Outlook 2010.
-> Left click on it does nothing (is this normal? From my memory I don't think so), right click offers to create a new one...
This is the default behavior, we need to use right click > New Search Folder to create new search folders.
Hope this helps.

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.
Thank you for the information, that is what I wanted to know. Curiously I did not find such group policy...

Default font settings

Does anyone know how to change the default font settings for documents in AppleWorks? As in, each time you open a document and begin to type, it will be in a font specified by the user rather than Helvetica or whatever.
Thanks!

Cannot send mail with Outlook 2010

I can't send email with Outlook 2010. I can receive fine. I have a Verizon account, and my settings are those recommended. When I try to send email I eventually get a time out. I have called the Verizon techs any number of times and after working with them fruitlessly I was told to call Microsoft. Microsoft can't find the problem and said that it must be a problem that Verizon refuses to acknowledge.

I'm using MS Outlook 2010 in Win 8, Win 7, and XP. I''m using the latest settings specified by Verizon. Everything works perfectly, and has done so since since I made the changes a month or more ago.
Unless you post your specific settings, exactly as they are entered into your Outlook program, there is no way that any of the volunteers here can provide useful suggestions.

Necessary to have Outlook 2010 SP2 for Service Pack 3?

Hi
we are planning to update our Exchange 2010 SP2 UR7 to SP3 UR5.
Is it mandatory to have Outlook 2010 SP2? Are there any known issues?

I was using Icloud with Outlook 2010 on Win 7 64 bit w/o a problem until I downloaded CP 3. Now can't open my calendar in outlook - contacts are fine. Also can't open calendar in icloud if I access it with Internet Exp but can if I use Chrome. Fixes?

I was using Icloud on my PC with Outlook 2010 and Windows 7 64bit. After I upgraded the icloud control panel to 3.0 my calendar will no longer load and open in outlook nor will it open on icloud if I access icloud with internet explorer. It works fine on icloud if I access it with Chrome. I can also access it through IE on another computer. Something is amiss on my system. Any thoughts?

Import the calendar and contacts in Outlook.com. For contacts, export from Outlook as csv and import into Outlook by choosing the Other option (https://people.live.com/import/other?biciid=ImportCatalog)
You'll need to save the calendar as an ics file to import it. Select the calendar folder, the File, Save as an save as an ics.

Calendar no longer sends data to iphone since I got a new PC with Outlook 2010

My iphone 4 used to happily sync with my old PC (Windows XP) but I've got a new PC with Outlook 2010 and the calendar no longer sends data from the PC to the iphone.
I've used the Help questions here and created a new event on my phone which has now created a new calendar on the PC, so I have 2 calendars now, one with all events in and one only with events which are also on my phone.
No new events added to my calendar are ending up on my phone.
How do I:
a: get rid of the new calendar which has opened (it is called "Outlook Data File", the existing one, which I want to keep, is called "Personal Folders)
b: get the calendar to send info to my phone and back?

Hi,
To synchronize these libraries and lists, you must have Outlook 2010 installed on your client computer and you must have Collaborate permission to the library or list.
You don’t need any permissions for the user profile.
