Disabling adding events to SharePoint calendar from outlook

basically we have required fields in the SharePoint calendar that I created, and its great to have that calendar linked to other peoples outlooks. The problem comes when people add events from outlook because then they don't have to fill in the required
fields to add events. I want to make it where they can still see all events on their outlooks they just can't add anything from outlook and only from SharePoint so that they have to fill in all the required fields.

Hmm. That's tough because I don't think you'd be able to stop them from adding in Outlook unless you customized Outlook client or removed permissions. If you remove permissions, then they can't add through browser either. The only thing I can think of
is having two calendars: one users put events into and one they connect to outlook. When a new event is added to the first calendar, then a workflow fires and adds it to the second. The second calendar then has read only permissions.

  • Meeting request in SharePoint calendar from Outlook 2010

    Hi,
    I've connected a SharePoint calendar to my Outlook 2010 client and wish to manage this calendar from within Outlook 2010 itself. When I try to request a new meeting in this calendar from Outlook, I am able to do everything as normal, but when the meeting
    request is synchronised, it comes up with the following error:  
    I can see the item in the Local Failures folder but it does get sync'd soon after and appears in the SharePoint calendar list on the SharePoint site itself. However, when viewing the item in Outlook, it is an appointment, not a meeting.
    I've seen this article - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926440. Does this mean you can't create meeting requests in SharePoint calendars?
    Can anyone shed some light on what is possible and what isn't? I don't want to have to create a meeting workspace for every meeting required.
    Many thanks

    OK, thanks for clearing that up. 

  • Push Sharepoint Calendar to Outlook users

    I have created a Calendar in Sharepoint 2010 that I would like all users in my organization to have viewable in their outlook application on laptops/desktops/etc. 
    Is there a way for me to have it connect automatically via a push option, or in group policy, or something... anything?
    From my research there is no way to do that, but I was hoping somebody had some neat workarounds or something that I could deploy on my network in order to achieve this. 

    There are no such OOTB method to push the things. But you can check the below post which use some kind of coding to achieve it.

  • Syncing Calendar from Outlook to iPhone results in different times

    Hi, I just got an iphone, but when i try to sync my calendar from Outlook, the events always show up as 6 hours later. For example:
    In Outlook:
    Band Rehearsal, 12:30 - 15:30
    On the iPhone:
    Band Rehearsal, 18:30 - 21:30
    I've checked the time zones and they all match (Windows, Outlook and iPhone are all set to Amsterdam). Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I had the same problem and found the answer on another post. See below

    Then there is a time zone aswell... and when I changed this one everything went fine....
    You could also just diable this time zone support aswell....

  • How do I delete iCloud calendars from Outlook 2010?

    I installed the iCloud control panel on my Windows 7 PC.
    The results were not what I expected.
    I wish to remove the iCloud calendars from Outlook. The program is not allowing me to do this.
    I have already uninstalled the iCloud control panel from my PC.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I had the same problems with iCloud and this thread helped me get rid of the duplicate calendars.  Thanks!  Things are mostly back to normal.  But even though my iCloud calendar appears to be gone, I'm now getting two reminders for every event.  Any idea how to get rid of the duplicate reminders? 
    More info: Using Win 7 and OL 2007. The only calendar selections available are my normal calendar and my archived calendar. The events that are sending out reminders don't appear in the archived calendar.  Under Other Calendars I still see a calendar group called "iCloud" but there's nothing under the title.  Nothing extra shows up in Data File Management.  I tried this suggestion but don't see any duplicated events:

  • Trying to sync Sharepoint calendar w/ Outlook for mac; Protocol Error; Used about:config and get same error.

    I'm trying to sync a Sharepoint calendar with Outlook on my mac. When I click on "Connect to Client", I get this error:
    Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (stssync) isn't associated with any program.
    I used the about:config instructions to create a new string:
    * Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
    * Right-click -> New -> Boolean -> Name: network.protocol-handler.external.foo -> Value -> true (Replacing foo with the protocol you're specifying)
    * Right-click -> New -> String -> Name: network.protocol-handler.app.foo -> Value -> /path/to/app (Replacing foo with the protocol you're specifying and /path/to/app with the path to the application you want to run.
    * Ensure network.protocol-handler.expose-all is set to true.
    The path I used (which opens Outlook if I click on the icon) is:
    /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Microsoft Outlook.app
    I'm still getting the same error message.
    Please help me to allow Firefox to open stssync pages so that I can sync my calendars.
    Thank you in advance.

    Please be sure to let Microsoft know you'd like to see this feature in
    future versions by using the Help --> Send Feedback mechanism in any

    Hope this helps!

    I had a similiar problem, with my multiple devices.  I open iTunes and when all devices were connected I went to the info section on each device.  Under info I checked the sync calandars. Under that I click all calanders. I then did the apply in low right. I then did the sync function and it fixed it for me.  You have to do this for each device.
    I also checked the device (ipad,Iphone) themselves and change the calander selection to NO Catagory.  Hope this helps.

  • Through SharePoint Client Object model, how to make color coded events on Sharepoint Calendar

    Hi,
    Through SharePoint Client Object model, how to make color coded events on Sharepoint Calendar.
    Plese share your knowledge.
    Regards
    Tharak

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to make a color events Calendar.
    We can achieve it using the OOB method by creating the Calendars Overlay.
    http://summit7systems.com/color-code-calendar-events-in-sharepoint/
    You can also use the JavaScript to achieve it.

  • My iphone 6plus won't sync my calendar from outlook 2010.  How can I fix this?

    My iphone 6plus won't sync my calendar from Outlook 2010.  How can I make this work again?

    If you put information into one calendar and it synced to the other phone, then it sounds as if you are using iCloud, not Outlook. You need to check that. When I asked about the type of calendar, I was asking if this was your own Outlook, or were you using a work Exchange calendar. If you don't know the difference, I would say it is probably personal. If you look at calendars in the bottom center, are there more than one calendar listed? Do you see an ICloud calendar? Do you see an Outlook calendar?

  • Synchronized my iPhone 3G 8G to copy the contacts and calendars from Outlook, I wonder if I can do the same synchronization to copy the same data from Gmail

    Synchronized my iPhone 3G 8G to copy the contacts and calendars from Outlook, I wonder if I can do the same synchronization to copy the same data from Gmail ?

    Right, I finally managed to get it sorted out.
    iCloud only accept version 3.0 vcards, and the one I was using were version 2.1 so that's why it wasn't picking it up. So the easy way to get that sorted out is, use a gmail account.
    I know you don't wanna do it because you think it's too much hassle and stuff, but trust me it only takes 5 minutes and that's it.
    1. Create a Gmail Account.
    2. Export your Old VCard files to the Gmail Account.
    3. Now Import them from Gmail to your PC again.
    And, that's it, that's just makes the new imported version in 1 file contains your all contacts in version 3.0. Now you can just upload that on icloud and then sync it with your iphone.
    That's what I did and it worked, and I am sure if you wanna replace this file in the Contacts folder under your User Account in Windows and then try to sync Contacts in Tunes, it should work, but as I said, I did it with iCloud and it worked for me. So aye, that's pretty much it. Phewwww..
    Been searching for it for the whole day and it took 5 minutes in the end, badass...
    Anyway, don't lose hope and always Google for everything!
