Error opening Outlook 2010 Contact Group

Hi all,
We are currently in transition between Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2010.
We have recently migrated a user over from 2003 to 2010, but one of his Contact Groups will now not open. The error displayed is "Cannot open this item. There is not enough memory available on Microsoft Exchange to perform the operation. Contact your system
administrator"
The user would have created this distribution list in Exchange 2003 OWA.
I have read on other forums that the distribution group is too large and to reduce the number of contacts. I can see in Outlook that the offending Contact list is 32kb in size. However, when I try to export to a .csv file it hangs Outlook and complains about
a lack of resources.
Is there any way that I can view this Contact Group's members (on the Exchange Server) or is the data lost / corrupt and the only solution would be to re-create the group?

Hello,
The contact groups are store on the user’s mailbox on Exchange. Since other contact groups and contacts can be opened just fine, it seems the issue
may occur if the problematic contact groups is corrupted itself.
You can take a chance to open it via MFCMAPI tool. If it even cannot be open, I think it cannot be recovered unless we do a single mailbox recovery.

How to sync Outlook 2010 Contact Groups to my iPad and iPhone

I am trying to figure out how to sync my Outlook 2010 contact groups to my iPad and iPhone. Also how do you manage the groups once on the device? Seems they can only be selected and not edited. I can get my Good contact group and my Windows Contacts contact group to sync but not my Outlook 2010 groups. Any ideas?

Mac solution. No idea if works on PC:
Work Around:
On your mac:
1. Open a new email
2. Insert name of an existing group into one of the "To" fields as usual.
3. Highlight all the resulting names in the "To" entry
     [Highlight first name, and while holding shift, highlight last name and all will highlight[]
4. Copy (Command C) the highlighted emails
5. Paste (Command V) nto a pages document
6. Remove the name and anything else preceeding the first < and also the first < of only the first entry whixh will look like this:
     [email protected]>,
7. Remove the > of the last email which will look like this:
     , Jane Doe <[email protected]
8. Copy the entire altered list from the pages document
9, Go to Contact Book and click + to add a new entry
10.. Name the entry (XXX Group for iPad) or whatever you wish to call it
11. Paste all the copied altered list into any one of the email entry spaces
12. Click on "Done"
13. Create new email On iPad and click on + in any one of the "To" lines and search for "XXX Group for iPad" You cannot just key in XXX Group for iPad!!!!!!!, you must use + contact search.
14. Enter the selected iPad contact group into the "To" line.
15. All the entries will now appear in the "To" line and you are good to go.
Adding or deleting email addresses from the iPad group:
Easiest: Alter the original mac group in the usual way and repeat steps 1-14 above. It seems impossible to edit within the emai line of the iPad contact entry.
Rediculously simple once figured out.
Happy emailling, but please send Bcc so that you don't spread your groups' email addresses all over the internet for spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails. Be considerate and ask your recipients to notifiy you if they wish to be deleted from the lists you compose.

My outlook 2010 Contact Groups are not visible in iTunes; only syncs main Outlook Contact Folder, others not synching

I have an iPhone (running the latest device software) and have Outlook 2010 for PC on my desktop. I have several Outlook 2010 Contact Folders/Groups but when I try to sync with my iPhone I only have the option to sync all of my contacts.
When I sync this -- the only Outlook folder/group that is synced is my main 'Contacts' folder/group. All the rest of my folders/groups are not being transferred to my iPhone. I've had this issue for a few months now -- and though I like the iPhone, my old Blackberry nev er presented this problem when it came to the simple base function of syncing. Appreciate your help -- as I am out of answers. Thanks.

Outlook 2010 Contact Group Issue

We have a Public Folder Distribution List (Contact Group) that is accessible to several users. There are two significant issues:
When changes are made to the list, they are not always saved. For example if I enter a contact "Jon Smith" with email information, and then realize it should be "John Smith" and correct it, in many cases when I next open/use the
list the contact info has reverted back to "Jon Smith". This appears to occur at random.
Returning emails sometimes have sender addresses that are incorrect, i.e. an item sent to "John Smith" (a list member) will reach him, but his reply comes back as "Don Jones"
In addition, we get locked out of this list at random intervals. Our environment is Exchange Server (I believe it's 2010, not 100% sure) and Outlook 2010 clients.
Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve Macey

Hi,
So this is a Public Folder Distribution List, please first check if you have the right permission to update it.
Any other users having the same issue? Please share me the exact steps of how you modify the email information in the Contract Group.
For the second issue, do you mean it's only the name that displays incorrect, but the email address is actually right? Please check if you have the "Don Jones" contact (in your case) in your address book, which has the same address info filled as "John
Smith", the expected one.
Thanks,

Can't modify/delete Outlook 2010 Contact Group

I've got a user who created a new Contact Group in Outlook 2010 and now can't modify or delete the group. Other groups she's created before or since do not exhibit this behavior. Also, when you bring up the properties of the group, the window
looks different than the other groups and the icon in the top left of the window just has the card with no people in front of it.
Thanks

Hi,
A Contact Group, known in previous Outlook versions as a distribution list, is a grouping of e-mail addresses collected under one name. A message sent to a Contact Group goes to all recipients listed in the
group. You can include Contact Groups in messages, task requests, meeting requests, and in other Contact Groups.
Refer to the link below that about
How to Create and Manage Contact Groups in Outlook 2010

Outlook 2010 Contact Group restrict to only send using BCC

After spending a few hours online looking for an answer, I think it is time to ask creative minds. Basically, I send an email to 15 different contact groups all at once (700 email addresses). I need them to not be able to see the other email addresses
in the group and not be able to "reply all" to everyone on the email. The easy answer is just put them all under BCC, but sometimes I accidently send the email with the contact groups in the "To" field. I would like something
that stops my error permanently. Either by automatically setting those groups to the BCC field when selected (instead of the To field) or something else. Any ideas?

How can iCloud in my windows 7 PC sync with only selected Outlook 2010 contacts?

It's my first time to use iCloud in my windows 7 PC and sync it with my Outlook 2010 contacts, my outlook contacts has several folders. I know iCloud will create an iClouds contact folder. My question is will it sync with all my contact folders? or will iCloud sync give me an an option to choose which folder to sync? I do not want it to sync it with my entire outlook contacts, how should I go about this? Thank you

connect the ipad to the computer
open itunes on the computer
click on the ipad in devices
click on the info tab
scroll to the contact sync part
click the dropdownbox
choose windows live contacts
if it's not in the list google
transfer windows live contacts to "Insert what is on the list so you can sync to it"
choose "whatever you chose on the list"
export/import the contacts
sync

Help! iCloud deleted my Outlook 2010 Contacts!

I activated my iCloud account to back up my PHOTOS ONLY. iCloud took my photos AND my Outlook 2010 contacts (in iCloud) but deleted them from my Windows 7 PC and I can't get them back! My .pst file contents got wiped out. Since I didn't check off the contacts box, there's no restore option on iCloud. And Copy ALL + Export contacts only downloads the first one. I have over 3000 contacts and will not download one by one.
HELP PLEASE!!!

Honest to gosh...I swear iCloud is a code name for a virus Apple has unleashed on Outlook.
All of my contacts in Outlook 2010 are gone. They simply aren't there any longer since whatever happened when I put iCloud on my Windows 7 system.
When I open Outlook, on the left of that window are the various selectable views...i.e. Mail, Calendar, Contacts etc. When I select Contacts, I have two options. I can either select "My Contacts" (which is Outlooks contacts....and that's the one that is EMPTY) or I can select iCloud contacts. The iCloud contacts is where I see my contacts.
Why did iCloud "suck" them all out of Outlook? Why did iCloud then delete them from Outlook? ....and the $99 question is how do I get them back to My Contacts in Outlook.
Look folks....DO NOT (repeat) DO NOT ever trust anyt software application from any manufacturer or service provider that has the word "cloud" attached. If you haven't already lost data to a cloud provider...you will...period.
Why wasn't I given warning that Apple was about to delete all of my contacts from my local computer, hard drive and Outlook? Am I missing something here?
Anyway...can anyone help me understand what I need to do to get the Contacts back from iCloud. That's horrible people. People are people...and sooner or later someone is going to lose your data...or worse ..steal your data.
I'm done...any help appreciated.

Outlook 2010 contacts not showing phone number in Lync 2013 client

Hi,
We have Lync 2013 with Exchange 2010. Recently we started upgrading Lync clients from 2010 to 2013.
A few users started reporting that their local Outlook contacts does not show phone numbers in Lync 2013 (working with 2010)
I have installed the august patch which should solve this issue
981751 - Lync 2013 does not display telephone number of an Outlook 2010 contact in the contact card
Any idea where to look next?

Hi Tobias Borgen Nielsen,
Lync expects all the phone numbers to be in the E.164 format, meaning they should be +1-111-11111111 etc. If they’re not like this, you will have to normalize them if you want Lync
to publish them.
