Exchange 2003, Outlook 2007 and Free/Busy options

We are using Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2007 our Free/Busy options are not showing up, is the a copatibility issue between the two?

Hi,
It is by design that there is no Free/busy option for Exchange 2003 mailbox. Here is a similar thread for your issue:

ICal + iPhone + Exchange 2003 + Outlook 2007 + "all day" Events 7 hours off

Whenever an ALL DAY event is created on either the iPhone or iCal when the event is synced thru Entourage and into the Exchange Server and into Outlook 2007 the appointments are off -7 hours which I believe works out to GMT with Daylight savings time kicked in. Times are correct in Entourage. Correcting the time (making it an ALL DAY event) in Outlook 2007 and the resulting re-syncing does not impact Entourage, iCal or the iPhone. Since iPhone is syncing via iCal as the first step, I believe the issue is with iCal no the iPhone.
Time Zone Support is OFF on iCal and the iPhone.
iPhone updated to 1.0.1
iTunes updated to 7.3.2.6
iCals ver 2.0.5.1069
Vista Premium and Outlook 2007 Fully Patched
Thanks

This had no impact on the problem. I have confirmed that this is an issue with iCal and not the iPhone. An all day appointment on for example August 15 created in iCal shows up correctly in Entourage syncing to an Exchange Server. However, when the appointment propogates to Outlook 2007, the All Day event now displays as from 7:00 pm August 14 to 7:00 pm on August 15.
Time Zone support has no impact regardless of setting on iCal.
Close inspection of the Event in Outlook shows ALL DAY is selected but the greyed out times are from 7 to 7 as described above.

GAL and Free Busy Information during Exchange 2007 and 2013 coexistence

Hello Everyone,
I am finishing up an Exchange 2013 migration from 2007. I am currently still in coexistence and had some questions around the Global Address List and Free Busy Information.
How to I tell if my clients are pulling address book information from my Exchange 2013 or 2007 Global Address List? I don't want to remove the 2007 system if the clients are pulling from it. All mailboxes are moved to Exchange 2013.
How do I make sure my clients are pulling the Fee Busy Information from Exchange 2013 or 2007? If I remove my 2007 servers will my clients lose Free Busy Information?
How do I tell what Exchange version my clients are getting this information from?
Thanks for any assistance!
Ian...

Hello,
Free/busy information are retrieved from user’s mailbox by EWS service.
GAL(I think you may refer to OAB), we can use the following command to get it’s generated server:
Get-OfflineAddressBook |FL

Problems with a shared calendar using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2010

Hello all,
We are having a problem with sharing a calendar using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2010.
I will start with some background. I have just started my position with this company. I have been working with networks for awhile at the small business level. I have not had much production experience with exchange. There is only myself and my supervisor
who has inherited a midsized network which was built by five previous techs that are no longer with the company. Of course, the previous techs did not leave much documentation, so the original hows and whys for our system setup has been lost.
One of the managers has a calendar she shares with some of our users. I believe this calendar has been in use since sometime in 2006. A mailbox was created to hold this calendar to keep it separate from the managers calendar. I am not sure what version
of exchange they were using at that time, but I assume there was one or two migrations of it getting to its current state on our exchange 2010 server. At some point it was observed that the other workers she was sharing with were not able to access it correctly.
I am not fully sure what the original problem was (possibly some people not being able to see or connect to the calendar), but it was decided to give everyone who needed access to this calendar full access permissions through exchange. Correct me if I
am wrong, but I believe that gave everyone connected the ability to do anything with the calendar. Of course the manager was not happy about that. This is where I started working on the problem.
I removed everyone, except the manager who wants to control the calendar, from having "Full Access Permissions". This did have the effect of making some people just able to see the calendar and not make changes. Though there were others that were
able to connect to the calendar who I thought would not be able to. The manager that originally created the calendar did try to manage access to it through the Outlook interface, though it currently does not seem to be fully in effect.
So, to get to the point of what we are trying to do, is there a way to get the original manager back into control of the calendar though Outlook? It would be preferred to be able to keep the history of what they tracked of this calendar, so starting a new
one would be something we would rather avoid. After that, getting all of the users that need to connect to the calendar reconnected with the correct access permissions and making sure they are all synchronized.
I realize this is a big mess, and your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Nigel,
How is the impact, just one user or all users, Outlook or OWA?
If just one user, it seems like an issue on the Outlook Client side.
Please trying to re-create new profile to fresh the caches.
Please runing Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs, add-ins and firewall.

Outlook Free/Busy option

I've installed and cofigured SunOne Calendar Server 5.1.1 and I have a problem. In the Outlook's Free/Busy option, in the box search at this URL I enter the follow (as I've read in the documentation):
http://nameserver/get_freebusy.wcap?fmt-out=text/calendar&tzid=America/Chicago&mail=%NAME%@%SERVER%
Then, when I check the availability of a Calendar Server user does not work, it appears "no information" for this user. In the Calendar server, there is this error in httpd.log:
[21/Jan/2004:12:54:21 +0100] srvmail cshttpd[3070]: General Error:
calstore_fetchcomponents_by_range(): call to ac_fetchcomponents() returning err = 39.
[21/Jan/2004:12:54:21 +0100] srvmail cshttpd[3070]: General Error:
calstore_fetchcomponents_by_range(): db error (pError->iErr) = 39.
Thank you in advance,

Pat,
Leif-Arne's script will modify the permissions if the manager already has rights to the calendars. However, if the manager has a direct report who hasn't granted any access to him, it will need a slight modification. Here's an updated script
that will handle the add rights where they don't already exist, while modifying them if they do. I'm using Leif-Arne's script as the basis, but I'm simplifying it in places to streamline the code.
$ManagerAlias = (Get-Mailbox "UserName").Alias
(Get-User $ManagerAlias).DirectReports | Sort Name | Get-Mailbox | Sort Alias | % {
    $Calendar = Get-MailboxCalendarFolder -Identity "$($Mailbox.SamAccountName):\Calendar"
    Add-MailboxFolderPermission $Calendar.Identity -User $ManagerAlias -AccessRights LimitedDetails -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
    Set-MailboxFolderPermission $Calendar.Identity -User $ManagerAlias -AccessRights LimitedDetails -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Note the last two lines of code are using the -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
parameter. This saves code where you would check for the manager's name in the list of accounts that currently have rights on the mailbox. If his name isn't in the list, it will be added by the first of these statements. If it is, the first statement
will throw an error, but it will be ignored. The second will always succeed, since the manager's name will by this point always be in the list. However, since there is a chance that the second command may be run against a different domain controller,
it may throw an error. In this case, the error handling is there just in case. I will add that when it uses the same domain controller, you will probably get a warning that nothing has changed on the mailbox. These can be ignored - if you
have PowerShell 2, you can't block them successfully.

Please Help... Sync BB8900 with Outlook 2007 and Vista.

I have trawled the web looking for an answer to this question and can't find any answers, please can somebody help me !!!
I have owned my 8900 Curve for about 2 months and love it, I used to sync it with my old computer running Windows XP and Outlook 2007 and had no problems.Unfortunately that computer died and I have upgraded to a new PC unning Windows Vista, my problem is this... When I try to set up the sync options for my calendar,contacts etc I don't get the option to sync it with Outlook, I only get the option to sync it with
1... ASC II Importer/exporter
2...Yahoo.
I rely heavily on my BB being up to date and without this function may as well go back to my old PDA.
I have tried re-installing Desktop Manager a few times and even downloading older versions of it to see if this fixes my problem, all to no avail.
Please,Please can somebody help.
Thank You In Advance.

Hi,
By the "media control" I take it your were referring to the Vizkids Post, suggesting the mediad manager not be installed?
I didn't say that, I agree with it, but I didn't say it.

A friendly tip as this is your first thread, The User who suggested that has 4 more posts than you. He is new to the forum as well.
What worked for his problem, might not work for yours, in this case it wouldn't have affected it at all. When you get stuck or need some
research go to the upper left hand corner where the grey search box is. Type on keyword for your problem, I would put vista outlook 2007
desktop, to start. You will see the history of the problems reading those subjects. You will see green resolution marked on most
Follow those resolved threads and see how it relates to yours, and how it was resolved in the past. Be sure to write your search results in you thread other users can then see what you've tried and found and help you quicker
As you get more experience you will get good use from the Support and Services grey tab at the top of the page.
That's where the link I posted came from. Please take my comments the way they were intended, as helpful advice, OK?
I need some specifics on your Vista OS 32 or 64 bit?What version of desktop manage have you tried, removed reinstalled etc.?
Okay flesh things out a little, you installed desktop manager with full access rights as an administer on Vista,correct?
The installation was error free?
You setup the your email and when you went to configure the synchronization options, you had what options, I know
you didn't have Outlook.
What steps did you try to resolve the problem?
Did you change any settings in Outlook, review the desktop setup in the manual?
How far did you get on article I left you regarding MS Outlook tips?
Ok let me know the detail for those questions,thanks,
Regarding the clean procedure post, The first part of the procedure states:
"To install BlackBerry Desktop Software on a Windows® based computer that
had a previous version of BlackBerry Desktop Software installed,
complete the five tasks outlined below. These tasks should also be
completed if the BlackBerry Desktop Software installation or
uninstallation procedures did not complete successfully."
Going on, it explains and shows how to make sure all the registry entries, program files and remnants , along with file traces
were made In Vista and are completely removed. A lot of desktop manager issues especially in the Vista OS can be traced to old
registrations made by a previous DM installation.
Please let me know what parts are not clear.
Thanks,

Outlook 2007 and 2010 on Windows XP keeps asking for password

I have a fresh installation of Exchange 2013 installed on Windows 2012 and the problem is that Outlook 2007 and 2010 which is installed on Windows XP keeps asking for password.
The problem occurs only on Windows XP while on Windows 7 is working fine.
Any help will be appreciated!

Hello
I had similar issue in my environment -Exchange 2010 SP2 UR4-v2 ,DAG 2 MBX servers(MBX1 and MBX2) in production site ,2 CAS in production site ,17 mail box databases , Public folder replicated to all the mailbox servers.
strangely users using outlook 2003 and outlook 2007 were being prompted for user name passwords.
investigations were done as follows
1. test connection status -click on the outlook icon in the lower right of the users desktop.clicked on test connection status ..
2. found that the username was being prompted while attempting to connect to the public folder in MBX1 server.
3. using EMC on the exchange server, changed databases pointing to public folder in MBX1 to public folder in MBX2. This solved the issue for us.however we were not sure of what the exact issue was ..was it public folder corruption in MBX1? .we found
that the users were being prompted for username and password only in outlook 2007 and not in OWA or outlook 2010. this made us rule out possibility of Public folder corruption in MBX1 server.
4.raised a case with microsoft to do a RCA (root cause analysis) . The resolution from them was to change the exchange RPC service on MBX1 from "network service" to "local account" and switch back to "network service".
The reason stated by microsoft is "password cache corruption" .Any ways the problem was solved at the server level.
Hope this helps all of you who have been scratching your head over this issue

Exchange 2003 + Outlook 2010 hangs if deleted shared mailbox exists into profile

Environment - Exchange 2003 + Outlook 2010 published via Citrix
We recently did the cleanup of shared mailboxes which are no longer needed. However post our activity we found that many users are reporting that their Outlook is hanging for a long time during startup and it continues while working on outlook. Upon investigation
we found that their Outlook profile was having 1 or 2 shared mailboxes listed which were deleted from organization. As soon these shared mailboxes were removed from profile the Outlook started working fine.
Is this know issue of Outlook and if any hotfix available for same, I have already checked the 'download shared folder' option which isn't selected.

Hi,
Maybe the issue is related to the default behavior in Outlook.

How to sync Outlook 2007 and Mail

I plan on dual booting vista with outlook 2007, and mac os x 10.6. Is there a program that will sync the mail accounts, and has to be able to sync my earthlink email account? I know you can leave the email on the server, but then whenever I switch from vista to mac I can't tell what messages I have and haven't read, and the sent mail doesn't sync. I have tried mobileme, but then I can't send from my earthlink account. Earthlink does not support IMAP accounts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've never heard of anything that would do this and I've never seen a feature like this even requested. If Erathlink does not support IMAP the best you can do is just what you are doing already - set POP options to leave mail on server after retrieval.
You might also consider getting an IMAP email account. Gmail and AIM are free and both offer imap.

Source of Multiple Calendars in Outlook 2007 and iCloud (iOS7.0.4)

Source of Multiple Calendars in Outlook 2007 and iCloud (iOS7.0.4)
My iPhones (2) and iPad list the following color-coded calendar names when the word "Calendar" is pressed at the bottom of the calendar screen: All iCloud (no colored dot), Calendar (Blue Dot), Home (orange Dot), Saved emails (red dot), and Saved emails (2)( green dot).
Calendar items created on both iPhones are coded with a blue dot and appear on a blue background in iCloud and on the phones. Calendar items created on my iPad appear on a green background (saved emails 2) on my iPad and my iphones. Why isn't the color "Blue"? It appears that entries made on Outlook appear in Saved Emails (red).
I have not imported or connected with any external calendars.
This behavior raises the following questions:
1) Should entries created on each device appear in a different color?
2) Does the color associated with an entry designate a specific device or a specific type of device?
3) Which device is the "Home" device referred to in paragraph 1 above?
4) Why would a Calendar be named with a reference to "saved emails"? From where would it come.
My understanding about synching with iCloud was that any entry from any iDevice (phone or pad) or iCloud would appear in both iCloud and in the calendars of all devices on the same Apple Account. Please confirm my understanding or correct it.
With iCloud as the hub, must I still utilize Microsoft Outlook? I am retired and no longer need Outlook for work.
Can I edit any calendar entry in I cloud had have it change it in all the devices, or must it be edited in the device in which the entry was originally made?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would ditch Outlook like a bad habit.
Now to answer your questions starting at the bottom. yes, you can edit any and all iCloud Calendars on iCloud.com. You can rename your calendars, re-color them, create, edit or delete events, etc.
So you asked a question on why your calendars are named 'saved emails'. This sounds like something that would be created from Outlook since you can send email to the calendar in Outlook. If you quit using outlook, you can simply rename the calendars to something more sensible or delete them entirely.
About calendar colors. Each calendar you (or your mail program on your behalf) has created gets assigned a name and color. Each color helps your identify which calendar and event belongs to. When you create a new event from your iOS device or iCloud.com, you will find a handy little section that says 'calendar' where you can specify to which calendar (or color) you want that event to be on. You will also find this option when tapping and editing and event on the iOS devices or icloud.com. If you want all of your devices to default to the same calendar when creating a new event, on your iOS devices go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Scroll to the section that says 'Calendar' in gray (its at the very bottom) and change the 'default calendar' to whatever you want the defualt to be. You can also change the default in iCloud.com by clicking the gear icon.
My recommendation: 1) Ditch Outlook. Go to your Control Panel > iCloud and uncheck Outlook. 2) Move all of your events to one or two calendars. if you don't have a need for multiple calendars, just simplify your life and move them all to one calendar. You can edit the event and change the calendar, then go back and delete the other calendars that are confusing you with all the different colors. You can rename, recolor, create and delete calendars form your iOS device by tapping calendar in the bottom of the screen when in the calendars app then tap edit in the top left. You can also do these same things on iCloud.com Where ever is easiest for you will work.

Hello,
In a Snow Leopard Mail server setup, we are going to have several Outlook 2007 and 2011 clients, and Mac clients.
I know that the MS clients cannot talk using CRAM-MD5, authentication, just Login and Plain.
What do you suggest to do? Postfix main.cf instructions in order to use SSL are greatly appreciated.

MS Outlook 2007 and SBO outlook integration OK?

I have a client that has MS outlook 2007 installed on some client machines and would like the SBO integration as well, has anyone done this yet and have there been any issues?
Thanks! Amy

Hi Amy,
What version of SBO are you running? We've had problems with Outlook 2007 and Outlook Integration (eg getting the OI toolbar to display properly) when running SBO 2007A.
You can get more details by logging your question with SAP Support but, for what it's worth, my recommendation is avoid it at the moment if you can.
