Free Busy Configuration

Hi,
Since we can configure Exchange 2010 <> Exchange 2010 Organisation for Free / Busy lookup without using MS federation. (We have must be having GALSYNC)
Can we do the same with Exchange 2010 <> Exchange 2010 + Exchange 2003
witout MS federation or InterOrg tool ? i.e

you may want to use ILM for FIM.

  • [Forum FAQ] Why can't I retrieve Free/Busy information

    Free/Busy information is a feature of Microsoft Outlook that allows you to see when others are free or busy so that you can efficiently schedule meetings. You can use Microsoft Outlook to publish Free/Busy information to any server
    your and your coworkers have read/write access to. However, in some cases you’ll notice that you can’t retrieve Free/Busy information correctly from Outlook. You can try the below methods to troubleshoot and get the Free/Busy information again.
    Since most users who often use this feature are using Exchange, all the information in this content is only based on Exchange.
    General troubleshooting methods:
    Method 1: Start Outlook using the ‘/cleanfreebusy’ command line switch
    Method 2: Logon OWA to see if the Free/Busy information shows correctly
    Method 3: Check the user’s Permission Level when only one user’s Free/Busy information can’t be displayed
    Other causes
    Autodiscover has not been setup correctly
    Updates
    Here are the detailed steps and explanation of each method and cause.
    Method 1: Start Outlook using the ‘/cleanfreebusy’ command line switch
    With the ‘/cleanfreebusy’ switch, it will clear and regenerate free/busy information when Outlook starts, sometimes this process fixes the problem that Free/Busy information doesn’t display correctly, and this is always the first thing we should try when
    we can’t get the Free/Busy information from Outlook.
    This switch can only be used when you are able to connect to your Microsoft Exchange server.
    To start Outlook using the switch, we can press Win Key +
    R to start Run, type ‘outlook.exe /cleanfreebusy’ in the blank box, then press
    Enter.
    Please note since Outlook 2013 only uses the availability service which is connected to Autodiscover, the command line switch ‘/cleanfreebusy’ has been removed as well as the associated code so that Outlook 2013 will not recognize this
    command.
    Method 2: Logon OWA to see if the Free/Busy information shows correctly
    If you are using Cached Exchange Mode in Outlook and having trouble getting the Free/Busy information, please logon OWA, or switch to Online Mode to see if the Free/Busy information shows correctly.
    If the Free/Busy information shows correctly on OWA or in Online Mode, this problem may be caused by the Outlook Data File(.ost) corruption, which leads to the sync failure. Therefore we should exist Outlook, browse to the Data File and rename it to “.old”.
    The next time Outlook starts, it will regenerate a Data File to sync and we can check if the Free/Busy information can be retrieved.
    The location of the Data File can be found from File tab ->
    Account Settings -> Account Settings ->
    Data Files tab. (Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013)
    Or Tools menu -> Options ->
    Mail Setup tab -> E-mail Account -> Account Settings window ->
    Data Files tab. (Outlook 2007)
    If on OWA it displays fine but doesn’t show the information correctly in neither Cached Exchange Mode nor Online Mode, it may be caused by the firewall or anti-virus settings, disable them to verify if they caused the problem.
    Method 3: Check the user’s Permission Level when only one user’s Free/Busy information can’t be displayed
    When a user has set his Calendar Permission to None, other people will not be able to see his Free/Busy information. When we notice that we can get most people’s Free/Busy information but fail to get one specific person’s, please consider
    to check his Calendar Permission:
    In that user’s Outlook, right click on his default Calendar, click Properties, select
    Permissions tab.
    We need to at least switch the Permission to Free/Busy time to get his Free/Busy information correctly.
    Other cause 1: Autodiscover has not been setup correctly
    From Outlook 2007, Outlook uses Autodiscover to get the Free/Busy information. Once Autodiscover has not been configured properly, the Free/Busy information may not display correctly. If you are also seeing issues with Out of Office assistant, we may assume
    that you haven’t correctly setup Autodiscover, since these two symptoms are common when Autodiscover is not configured correctly.
    To verify that, please test Outlook Autodiscover Connectivity:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123573.aspx
    We can also learn Configure Exchange Services for the Autodiscover Service from:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb201695.aspx
    Since Autodiscover Service is more Exchange related, we need to seek Exchange support and post the question in Exchange forum:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/home?category=exchangeserver
    Other cause 2: Updates
    Although Updates from Microsoft do no harm to the system for most of the time, the updates sometimes can mess things up.
    Outlook 2013 November 2013 security update once became the culprit that caused some users not able to retrieve Free/Busy information from calendar scheduling. This occurs because Autodiscover fails for Exchange 2007 configurations. So in fact, this also
    refers to the previous reason, Autodiscover is corrupted.
    The fix for the issue above has been released:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2850061/en-us
    Once you have some issues after updating and doubt it’s an update issue, you can always come to our forum to ask if there’s a recent update which causes the problem, we will be happy to support you. If a fix hasn’t been released yet, we suggest you uninstall
    the suspicious ones from Control Panel -> Programs and Features ->
    View installed updates to verify which caused the problem, also as a workaround.
    Summary
    The reason that we can’t get the correct Free/Busy information can vary. If you find it doesn’t work even after several general troubleshooting steps, please consider it’s Autodiscover related. For anyone who comes up against the issue that Free/Busy information
    can’t be retrieved, please feel free to visit Outlook IT Pro Discussions from the URL:

  • Out of office/free busy not working for Outlook 2013

    Hi!  I have a user on our network that cannot use Out of office or see free/busy information in meeting requests.  We have hundreds of working 2010 clients but this one is 2013 and NOT a member of our domain.  They are connected to exchange
    and can do anything except the above.  When I do a test of email autoconfiguration it just fails.  DNS resolution is working fine but it can't connect to the server for these two functions only.  Any articles I can find assume the user is remote
    and outside the network but he is connected internally.  Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Please switch to Outlook 2010 client and login OWA to check this issue.
    The Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Availability service makes free/busy information available to Outlook client. Then Outlook uses the Exchange Server 2010 Autodiscover service to obtain the URL of the Availability service. As you
    mentioned, it failed to do a test of email autoconfiguration. So I suggest the following methods for troubleshooting
    Please switch to Outlook 2010 client and login OWA to check this issue.
    Have you configured
    Autodiscover Service for Internet Access?
    Use Test-OutlookWebServices cmdlet to
    verify that the Autodiscover service settings for Outlook clients are configured correctly.
    Blog for
    reference to troubleshooting Autodiscover.

  • Free/busy information in 2007/2013 coexisitance

    I'm in the process of migrating from a single server 2007 exchange environment to a multi server 2013 environment. I'm at the point where I want to move a small group of users to the 2013 serves to do some testing. The only issue holding that back
    is anyone on the 2007 server cannot view free/busy information of a user on the 2013 servers. This does work when a 2013 tries to lookup a 2007 users free/busy information.
    Anyone have any idea why that would be?  

    Hi,
    Please check your Exchange 2007 Web service in CAS configurations. We need to set it with legacy.contoso.com. Just like:
    Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory –Identity “Exch07\EWS (Default Web Site)” -InternalUrl https://legacy.contoso.com/ews/exchange.asmx –ExternalUrl
    https://legacy.contoso.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx
    For more information about migrate from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013, please refer to:

  • Free busy issue outlook 2010

    I am sorry if i am posting this in the wrong place.
    We have exchange 2010 sp3 in 3 sites ( US , UK and Africa)
    Users in UK start complaining they are not able to See free busy of US users but can see free busy of UK and African users.
    We later identified this could be due to the more no of groups which result in increased token size, so we removed 1 users couple of group membership and  he was able to see free busy of other users in US.
    Then we have done a registry change in all CAS server to set MAX token zize 
    Create the following registry keys on all CAS servers ( Exchange Server 2010 SP1 CAS servers) in the Active Directory site:
    Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
    Name: MaxFieldLength 
    Type: DWORD 
    Value data: 65534
    Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters
    Name: MaxRequestBytes 
    Type: DWORD 
    Value date: 16777216
    But now users start complaining that they now cant see free busy of africa and US users, This affected only 5 users and all user outlook 2010.
    P.S: No luck with OWA also for these users. 
    Please suggest. 

     
    First check free busy issue does exist in OWA, if its not affected in OWA and only in outlook follow
    steps below
    have you tried with start--> run --> "Outlook.exe /cleanfreebusy" switch
    try the below step also.
    Start Outlook.
    Hold down the Ctrl key, right-click the Outlook icon in the notification area, and then click
    Test E-mail AutoConfiguration.
    Verify that the correct email address is in the
    E-mail Address box.
    In the
    Test E-mail AutoConfiguration window, click to clear
    the Use Guessmart check box and the
    Secure Guessmart Authentication
    check box.
    Click to select the
    Use AutoDiscover check box, and then click
    Test.
    Check auto configuration test reports
    4.
    Try to change outlook profile of affected users
    Check in Tools--->Options and Delegates tab if there is any other account try to remove.
    Close issue as you have

  • Calander Free\Busy Issue

    Hi all,
    We have Exchange 2010 and users are working with office 2007.
    I have not checked all users, but those who i checked (about 10 out of 300), can see the details of other users appointments who are invited when the enter the "Scheduling Assistant".
    I checked the calendar Free\Busy permissions and they are set to:"Default - Free\Busy Only".
    There are no other permissions to other users.
    This issue is very important since the sensitivity of a lot of appointments, especially of managers is high.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Hasin,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I checked the permissions from the outlook side.
    I tried the command on the CEO mailbox and i received an error message (I replaced here the user name with xxxxx for security reason):
    Cannot process argument transformation on parameter 'Identity'. Cannot convert value "xxxxx:calendar" to type "Microso
    ft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.MailboxFolderIdParameter". Error: "The mailbox folder identity "xxxxx:calendar" isn't
    in the correct format. The correct format should look like this: "<MailboxIdentity>:<FolderPath>". "
        + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (:) [Get-MailboxFolderPermission], ParameterBindin...mationException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentTransformationError,Get-MailboxFolderPermission
    Then i tried to write down "calendar" in Hebrew (which is our native language) and i get only question marks (I guess that Power Shell dont like my language). I have succeeded to do it on several users, i guess because their Outlook is in English
    and the result was:
    FolderName   : Calendar
    User         : Default
    AccessRights : {AvailabilityOnly}
    Identity     : Default
    IsValid      : True
    As i understand according to the result, people should only see if the user is available and it's not the case. Users can see the full details.

  • Free/Busy Error

    Sun ONE Calendar Server 5.1.1 hf 1.16
    Sync tool 1.1 patch 2
    I tried to configure Free/Busy option, by putting the Search URL as :
    http://<servername>/get_freebusy.wcap?fmt-out=text/calendar&tzid=timezone&mail=%NAME%@%SERVER%
    However when I check on the user availability through outlook, it prompts and error:
    An error occurred reading Internet free/busy data. General failure. The URL was ....
    When I cut the URL and past on the browser, it said unauthorised, any idea ?

    Yep, indeed it does, except the password works when carrying out an autodiscover test, when testing free/busy that error appears. Lookups for free/busy work from on-premise to cloud, cloud to on-premise does not work unless you explicitly allow permissions
    on a user basis. The on-premise Exchange 2010 SP3 environment is using an external wildcard cert and thought this could be causing the issue, may consider updating to SAN based. What do you think?

  • Free/busy information unavailable in Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.1 on Exchange 2010

    Hi,
    This has been discussed a lot inf forums but unfortunately having followed all the guides I have found, I can't resolve it.  I am the only user with the issue.  
    I have primarily followed https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/ee9e1b89-bea1-48aa-9008-cae205c5e816/forum-faq-why-cant-i-retrieve-freebusy-information?forum=outlook 
    including recreating my profile, installing http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2850061/en-us via
    Ofifce 2013 SP1, verifiying the funtion works through OWA etc etc.
    I have the full version of Office 2013 Pro not the Click to Run version.  It seems to be the Outlook client itself not the Exchange server.  I am at a loss what to do next... please help! :)

    Hi,
    Please also enable Automatic Replies in Outlook, check if this feature works well.
    Since the issue only occurs to one client and it works on OWA, I suggest you try these steps below to troubleshoot the issue:
    1. Start Outlook in Safe Mode. It is always a helpful method to troubleshoot Outlook client issues, when in Safe Mode, Outlook doesn't load with add-ins, we can check if this issue persists when add-ins are disabled:
    Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
    If there's no issue in Safe Mode that you can find free/busy information again, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which one caused the problem.
    2. Perform a clean boot. This helps determine whether the issue is related to some background programs, any 3rd-party programs will be disabled. If the issue doesn't occur in Clean Boot, then we may suspect it's related to some 3rd-party programs, the detailed
    steps can be found in this link below:

    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

  • No Free/Busy Information for Exchange 2010 users in Outlook 2010 client, 2010 OWA shows this information fine

    I have looked for hours and hours on Google and this web site for this type of issue and nothing seems to help.
    Problem:
    On my new Windows 2008 R2 /Exchange 2010 server with IIS7 installed, I can use Outlook 2010 client to login and send and receive e-mail but when I try to busy search internal Exchange users I get no information (cross-hatch), but the sender of the Meeting Request
    can see their own free/busy information fine.  And OWA users can see free/busy information fine, as can Outlook 2003 client users against this Exchange 2010 server when logged in.
    I don't know if I have a certificate problem with regard to IIS7 or Exchange 2010, I did not create my own certificate , it is just what was installed by default when I installed and configured Win2K8 server, IIS7 and Exchange.
    On the Windows 7 workstations with Outlook 2010 client, I am not logging into the Exchange 2010 server DNS domain, if that makes any difference.  On these workstations I can ping "autodiscover.my.exchange.server.com" and my.exchange.server.com
    with no problem.  I even used this Microsoft KB to install a new _autodiscover dns entry, but it did not help :
    When I turn on logging on my Outlook 2010 client, I see this in my C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\1\outlook logging\20131208-135658864-fb.log :

    Hi,
    How many users encounter this issue, all users with Outlook 2010 or some specific users?
    According to your post, the Error code 600 indicates that your Autodiscover service is working well. as for the certificate mismatch issue, we can also following the KB below to resolve it:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940726/en-us
    The Free/Busy information in Exchange 2010 is using the Availability service to
    retrieve it. Please directly access
    https://mail.mydomain.ae/EWS/Exchange.asmx in IE and see whether a proper XML file is returned.
     Or we can go to
    https://testexchangeconnectivity.com and check MS Exchange Web Services Connectivity Tests.

  • Free Busy information not appearing correctly in Outlook

    First some background:
    For two of our Resource Mailboxes, we are having an issue where all times are showing outside of Work Hours (gray). The working hours for both of these rooms are set for 8-5, pst, just like all our other Resource Calendars. This occurs on all installed Outlook clients,
    but does not occur through OWA (both logged in as the resource, and a standard user).
    Things we've checked and confirmed are the same with a working resource:
    Permissions for the Mailbox
    Permissions for the Calendar
    TimeZone Information
    Work Week Information
    Resource Policies
    Steps we've taken to try and resolve the issue without affect:
    Forcing a OAB update on Exchange and Locally
    Changing Work Week/TimeZone
    Changing Calendar share permissions
    I'm a little lost at where to proceed next, I've got a mind to try and just kill our OAB and rebuild from scratch, but will talk that over with our Exchange Admin. I've done Compares on Get-Mailbox, Get-MailboxCalendarConfiguration, Get-MailboxCalendarFolder,
    Get-MailboxFolder, Get-MailboxFolderPermission, Get-MailboxRegionalConfiguration and probably every other cmdlet one could run on a mailbox (except for probably exact the one I need).

    Hi,
    Do you mean the issue doesn’t happen when users view room’s free/busy information from Scheduling Assistant in OWA?
    Please make sure the date and time zone are the same in Exchange server, Outlook clients settings, user local machines and Domain Controller. Also double confirm the work hours for these two room mailboxes are configured the same for 8:00AM to 5:00PM. Please
    run the following command in Exchange server to check the calendar processing for these two problematic room mailboxes:
    Get-CalendarProcessing Room1 | FL
    Get-CalendarProcessing Room2 | FL

  • Using PowerShell to set Custom Access Rights on a Calendar Does not set Free/Busy Permissions

    We recently discovered an issue where, if you use Exchange Management Shell to configure custom access rights, the Free/Busy permissions do not get set at all (they remain as "None"):
    $temp = [Microsoft.Exchange.Management.StoreTasks.MailboxFolderAccessRight[]]("ReadItems","EditOwnedItems","DeleteOwnedItems","EditAllItems","DeleteAllItems","FolderVisible")
    Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "conf-company-test:\calendar" -User "Company Calendar Management" -AccessRights $temp
    Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "conf-company-test:\calendar" -User "mpinkston" -AccessRights Editor
    If you use a pre-defined "role" such as Editor given to mpinkston6 in the above example it sets the Free/Busy permission to Full Details. It would appear that using Add-MailboxFolderPermission or Set-MailboxFolderPermission is generic for folder
    objects, and doesn't explicitly set the Free/Busy permissions. In the case of the pre-defined roles either the command is doing something special/different, or the permission checks later accept pre-defined roles for determining Free/Busy permissions. No idea
    which is going on. If Free/Busy permissions can be fixed through PowerShell by some other mechanism/command, that would be great. If not, how do we go about requesting a fix/feature change in Exchange?
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298062%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
    (Please expand Parameters and read AccessRights to get a better understanding for what I'm describing.)

    Did you try adding AvailabilityOnly or LimitedDetails in your $temp variable for Calendar folder? These would set it to "Free/Busy time, subject, location" or "Free/Busy time" respectively....
    Add-MailboxFolderPermission - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298062(v=exchg.150).aspx
    The following roles apply specifically to calendar folders:
    AvailabilityOnly   View only availability data
    LimitedDetails   View availability data with subject and location

  • Exchange 2007 CAS Unable To Display 2013 Mailbox Free/Busy to Clients

    Hi,
    I'm in the process of migrating to Exchange 2013 from an Exchange 2007 backend.  I have 2 2007 CAS servers in a Windows NLB named webmail.domain.com, and I'm having a problem with only a single one of those CAS servers being able to display the free/busy
    information of a mailbox residing on a 2013 mailbox server.  The other CAS works fine.
    Both CAS servers are Exchange 2007 SP3.  Both CAS servers have their virtual directories named webmail.domain.com/{vitual direction url}.  I built both servers from the ground up and configured them at the same exact time performing the same steps
    on each.  My 2013 CAS servers are in a Windows NLB for mail.domain.com, and they have all their virtual directories named for mail.domain.com.  These are separate entries in DNS.  Other autodiscover services are working fine.  I have most
    traffic flowing Exchange 2013 now as well.
    I've done compares on the virtual directories for each 2007 CAS, and they appear to be the same.  If I bypass the NLB and just go directly to the casname01/owa, I see free/busy no problem.  If I go to casname02/owa, then free/busy doesn't work
    ONLY for 2013 mailboxes.  It will display 2007 mailbox free/busy fine.  To complicate matters, I still have a 2010 CAS in the environment from a failed O365 pilot.
    Where can I look to begin to troubleshoot this?  Thanks.

    In the App log on the 2007 CAS, I'm seeing an Event ID 4002 from MSExchange Availability (below).  This made me check my 2013 CAS NLB.  It looks like it is one of the 2013 CAS servers in the mail.domain.com NLB that is causing this behavior.  I
    could still use guidance.  Thanks.

  • Exchange 2010 Free/Busy Federation with vendor's Office 365 tenant

    Here the situation,
    ORG A
    ====
    Exchange 2010 SP3 On-premise. No externally accessible CAS available/published (we are very secure and require VPN for Outlook/OWA from home/outside network)
    ORG B
    ====
    Office 365
    ASK
    ===
    ORG B is a vendor for ORG A and we would like to have federated free/busy sharing between the two organizations. I have read the steps about setting up a federation trust, configuring org relationships both ways, configuring autodiscover on our end.
    My specific questions are,
    1. Currently we don't have any externally published CAS servers. My assumption is we need atleast one (and probably more for fault tolerance) for federated free/busy sharing correct? We obviously don't want to place this in the DMZ/externally...so what are
    the recommended configuration? Publish the CAS externally? Any other more secure recommendations? We don't have TMG or any other Microsoft solution for that purpose...are there any other options? We use Cisco IronPorts for inbound/outbound email.
    2. Does this coexistence server have to be Exchange 2013 or will Exchange 2010 sp3 suffice?
    3. Are there any other methods of accomplishing this ask? We don't want users to have to individually share calendars...so internet calendar sharing is out of the question.

    Hi,
    If the organization receives or sends Internet e-mail for the domain, we need to
    configure an
    internet facing CAS server.

  • Outlook 2013/Exchange 2010 Free/Busy access issues.

    Good Day Everyone,
    I am running a Win 2008 R2 environment with Win7 users, using Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2013. Last week my users started experiencing issues with being able to view Free/Busy in the Calendar for any other user. I have checked past issues with this with patches
    KB 2837618 and KB 2837643. Neither patch is showing as installed and I have tried a nummber of the suggested fixes offered for that issue to no avail. OWA seems to be working just fine.
    Our Outlook version is: 15.0.4605.1003
    I need a fix for Outlook users and since I havve 140 users, individual fixes are a not realistic option.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Please test if Out of Office feature works well in Outlook. If Out of Office doesn't work either, it should be Autodiscover related.
    Once Autodiscover has not been configured properly, the Free/Busy information may not display correctly. If you are also seeing issues with Out of Office assistant, we may assume that you haven’t correctly setup Autodiscover, since these two symtoms are
    common when Autodiscover is not configured correctly.
    To verify that, please test Outlook Autodiscover Connectivity:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123573.aspx
    We can also learn Configure Exchange Services for the Autodiscover Service from:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb201695.aspx
