GroupWise 8 + Outlook 2013 on the same PC (headaches)

So I have a problem that's been making me pull my hair out and was hoping someone could offer some advice.
OS - Windows 7 Professional x64 (all Windows Updates installed)
GroupWise version - 8
I have a user (who is a local admin on that machine) who is unable to properly run GroupWise. He simply gets the "GroupWise is not properly installed" error when he tries to open the client. I have found that I can go to the Control Panel, select the "Mail (32-bit)" option, and remove every information service entry from that list, and then I can open GroupWise again. One time. Once I close GW, it gives that same "GroupWise is not properly installed" message.
I've seen this in the past where GW and Outlook don't like to be on the same machine (most of the problems in those cases being related to the address book and GW insisting that I create an Outlook profile). My fix has always been to simply "custom" install MS Office and exclude Outlook, since we don't actually use Outlook. For the most part, that has always worked like a champ. However, to the best of my knowledge, Office 2013 is an "all or nothing" thing that doesn't allow you to do a custom install, so I end up with a machine that's going to have both installed.
Am I doing something wrong? I typically install Office first, then the GroupWise client, make sure GroupWise is set for all its defaults, and I'm good to go. But this is the first time I've dealt with Outlook 2013 and GW on the same machine. Is there a more proper way to make GroupWise 8 behave when it's on the same machine as Outlook 2013? I've just got this particular user running with WebAccess until I can get it figured out. Since we're going to be doing a lot more Office 2013 installations in the near future, I'd like to get this figured out and not have to deal with it again.

Hm...somehow, in all the searching I did on this, I managed to miss that. Didn't notice that there was a difference between click-to-run and the actual disc and thought the custom install wasn't even an option.
Thanks. I'll try the download/burn a disc option and see if I can get it to work that way. I believe I'll be in good shape if I can just do a custom install of MS Office and not be forced to install Outlook with it. Most of the issues seem to come from GW/Outlook being installed on the same machine.

  • Outlook 2013 reporting the wrong mailbox size

    Hi,
    I am seeing a problem with Outlook 2013 where the mailbox size under "Mailbox Cleanup" does not reflect the actual mailbox size on Exchange. For instance I have a user that has a mailbox size of 300MB according to Exchange, but her Outlook 2013
    is reporting her mailbox size as 2.2GB. Is this a bug in Outlook?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You can logon OWA to see if the mailbox size displays the same as Outlook does. If no, simply have the user delete the .ost file, Outlook will then recreate the .ost file, try if the mailbox size displays correctly with the new .ost file.
    The .ost file may be stored at: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook. If you are not sure, go to FILE -> Account Settings -> Account Settings to find its location.

  • How do i open 2 hotmail outlook accounts at the same time? Thanks.

    How do I open 2 hotmail outlook accounts at the same time? Thanks.

    Safari only lets me to sign in to one hotmail account at any one time. If I am signed in to one account and I open a new window (or tab) the existing hotmail account I am signed in to opens again (I want to sign into second account simultaneously). So I am trying to sign in to 2 hotmail accounts at the same time. Does that makes sense?

  • Outlook 2013 error: The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable

    Environment: Windows 7 Enterprise
    Setup: Fresh install of Office 2013
    Issue: When I launch Outlook I get the error:
    The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action.
    Steps to resolve:
    I made sure my server name and mail address were correct but this did not have an impact.
    I am at a total loss on how to resolve this issue, is there anyway to manually connect to M.E> as it is just saying the connection is unavailable.  All of the other threads dealing with this issue have been no help.  I can sign into my account
    at login.microsoftonline.net so i know the account is valid.  I also receive email to my iPhone with the account and server.  Any advice would be wonderful.
    Now when I start up the application it tells me the same error and brings up something to alter the server and connection address.   

    Hi,
    Have you tried to recreate a new mail profile and then test the issue?
    To do this, please exit Outlook, and then go to
    Control Panel >Mail... > Add…
    Details about create a new mail profile, see:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
    Also, you can try with this KB:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2264398
    This issue occurs when the
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders registry key does not contain all of the required data. Specifically, these problems occur if the
    AppData string value is missing from this registry key.
    To resolve this issue, import the
    User Shell Folders registry key from a working Windows User Profile.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem with multiple copies of Office 2013 in the same account

    This week our company purchased five more copies of Office Home & Business 2013. I followed the steps to redeem online and try to activate it. Now the problem I can't add any more license into this account (it already have 8 licenses
    of office 2013). How many license can register in one account? How can I find out which one is which one? It is a pain to install a copy of office 2013.    Due to this situation I am sure I had made a misktake and used the same key twice...now
    I need to find out which key is reused and try to fix the problem.  Can Microsoft make it easier for us?  Please!!!

    Hello friend,
    I've never heard the limit of the number for one Microsoft Account, there shouldn't be a limit as I know, and One product key should only be able to activate one machine, if you attempt to use it activate a second machine, there should be a prompt.
    It seems you don't have "too many" machines in your organization, you can refer to the below:
    http://www.msoutlook.info/question/537
    We can find the license keys for Office 2013 via a script from Microsoft:
    Office 2013 (32-bit) on a 32-bit version of Windows 
    cscript
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
    Office 2013 (32-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows 
    cscript
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
    Office 2013 (64-bit) on a 64-bit version of Windows 
    cscript
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus
    It only displays the last 5 characters, but in most cases you can tell which key this machine is using.
    You may also need contact Microsoft's phone service when you need activation issue:

    I hope this helps on your scenario.

  • Synchronising 2 Palm devices with 2 different Outlook database on the same PC

    Hi,
    My wife and I are both equiped with Palms (T5 and T3).
    On the familly PC (W7 64 bits) we would like to sync each Palm on a different Outlook (2003) datafile already existing. There only one Outlook profile existing but depending on the email accounts, emails are directed to one database or the otherone.
    Once installed the aceeca usb driver (64b..), there was no pb to sync with Palm Desktop.
    But I wanted to switch to sync with Outlook, beginning by calendars, there only one calendar available.
    As I dont want to mess up the 2 calendard I cancelled the sync.
    What is the trick to have separated syncs with the existing 2 different Outlool database files?
    Many thanks
    Post relates to: Tungsten T5

    Your contacts are not part of your iTunes library.  iTunes only syncs contacts with your phone from a supported program such as Outlook or mac Address Book.  If you are trying to sync you contacts to the same program they will be merged.  You could, however, set up two contact groups within Outlook, one for your contacts and one for his.  Both groups would still besynced to both devices but you wouldn't have to look at the contact group you weren't interested in.  Another option would be for one of you to continue to sync with iTunes with, for example, Outlook and the other sync contacts with another service such as Google or iCloud (be sure to uncheck Sync Contacts on the Info tab of the the iTunes sync settings for this phone).

  • Server name in outlook profile stay the same after SSL changed from local to public fqdn

    Hi,
    I switched our UCC certificate for exchange 2010 so that it is no longer include .local in it. I used different FQDN url for external and internal (i.e externaURL is ExSrv.abc.com and internalURL is InSrv.abc.com). After I changed all settings, I found that
    the outlook profiles are still using the internal server name (i.e. myexchangesrv.abc.local). Is this normal? Should I expect the server name to be the new internalURL? The following are the commands I used and I also used EMC to change the OWA and ECP's internal
    URL to "InSrv.abc.com" as well. Did I missing anything?
    Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity MyExchangSrv -AutodiscoverServiceInternalUri https://InSrv.abc.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
    Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity "MyExchangSrv\EWS (Default Web Site)" -InternalUrl https://InSrv.abc.com/ews/exchange.asmx
    Set-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity "MyExchangSrv\OAB (Default Web Site)" -InternalUrl https://InSrv.abc.com/oab

    Hi,
    When an Outlook client goes to connect to an Exchange 2010 database, it looks at an attribute associated with the mailbox database called RPCClientAccess to determine which client access server/client access server array to use for connectivity.
    Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 clients do not pickup this change automatically when you change the value of RPCClientAccess server, you need to repair Outlook Profile to update new RPC endpoint.
    However, be careful to Change this property, because this can broke Outlook Clients to Exchange:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/05/30/rpc-client-access-cross-site-connectivity-changes.aspx
    Meanwhile, this attribute must be point to client access server or client access server array. You must have an CAS array named “InSrv.abc.com” as your expected.
    Also I find an similar thread about your concern, please refer to below link as “Brian Day” mentioned:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/2d0c0f5f-e4ec-4f33-a37d-b94fd7a2319f/cas-array-and-autodiscover-for-internal-and-external-access?forum=exchange2010
    “The only place the clients will ever use the CAS Array name is when the value of RPCClientAccessServer on their database is looked up and returned to them so they can then resolve the name via DNS and connect through MAPI. This is why the CAS Array
    name is not required to be on a SSL cert unless an admin chose to use the same FQDN for OWA/EAS/EWS/etc...., which would not be recommened for the reason Mitch points out above.”

  • Can I sync Outlook and Outlook Express at the same time? Please help!

    Hi, I'm new to BlackBerry so please be gentle.
    I was able to install the BB desktop and sync my BB to Yahoo contacts and Outlook Express.  I would like to also sync it to regular Outlook.  (If you're interested, here's why: I run a small business and I wasn't able to get my website's email to come into regular Outlook so I have to use stinky Outlook Express to get my emails.  However, I want to be able to use Outlook for all the other good stuff - contact, notes, calendar - and have everything on my awesome new BlackBerry.) 
    Is there a way to have both?  When I try to configure it, it just doesn't have an Outlook option.
    If there isn't a way to do this, does someone have another idea for a functional address book? 

    1. Perform the steps in this article here KB02206
    2. Reboot PC
    3. Download the latest version of Desktop Manager, should be 4.7
    Desktop Manager 4.7.0 B50 Multilanguage - With Media Manager
    Desktop Manager 4.7.0 B50 Multilanguage - Without Media Manager
    4. Install Desktop Manager choosing personal email... not work email during installation
    This should solve the communication with outlook
    As for setting up POP on outlook, you need to know the pop and smtp servers, whether its ssl, and the port numbers, plus your username and password
    check all these settings in your outlook express and they need to be the same in your outlook.
    What version of Outlook is it? You may benefit from reinstalling outlook or all of office
    I live in canada so I wont be any hands on help for you unless you want to send me all the email settings and I can test it here and figure it out. Just PM me the info if you want to do that

  • Developing for BizTalk 2009 and BizTalk 2013 on the same box

    I currently have Visual Studio 2008 installed and setup on my local machine for doing BizTalk 2009 development.  We are migrating to BTS 2013 soon. 
    I also have Visual Studio 2013 installed (but no BizTalk 2013 components installed).  Will I be able to develop for both versions of BizTalk on the same box?
    Has anyone successfully done this?
    My machine is Windows 7 Professional, 64 bit.  And I have also installed BTS 2009, Developer edition as well.

    Hi Chris,
    I don't think BTS 2009 and BTS 2013 (or for that matter any two versions of BizTalk) can be installed on the same OS. MS SQL Server and Visual Studio cannot
    distinguish which instance is started. Use Microsoft Virtual Server instead.

  • DPM 2012 SP1 - Protecting Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013 at the same time

    Hi,
    From which Exchange Server am I commited to copy the ESEUTIL.exe and ESE.dll to the DPM Directory for protecting the whole Exchange databases from both products (2010 and 2013) ?
    Thanks for replies.
    Regards
    Phil

    The visual c++ libraries actually need to be installed on the Exchange 2013 server.
    To protect Exchange 2013 with DPM SP1, in addition to copying the ese.dll
    and eseutil.exe files to the DPM
    bin folder, you also need to install the
    Visual C++ redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 1(vcredist) on your Exchange server. You can download it from
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/ details.aspx?id=30679
    Installing vcredist on your Exchange server loads components of Visual C++ libraries. The Visual C++ libraries are needed when an application that was developed using Visual Studio 2012
    is installed on a computer that does not have Visual Studio 2012 installed. Without Visual Studio 2012 or the Visual C++ libraries, you will run into errors trying to protect Exchange 2013.
    Let us know if it works after doing this.
    NOTE: The Exchange 2013 ese.dll and eseutil.exe files will cover Exchange 2010 also.

  • Outlook Anywhere Prompts for Credentials only for Outlook 2010, not Outlook 2013

    I'm having a heck of a time with this one.  We have Exchange 2010 on premise, with our filtering through EOP.  Clients that are using Outlook 2010 Professional Plus are continuously getting prompted for credentials when off network and relying
    on Outlook Anywhere.
    I've read many threads about configuring credential manager appropriately for the internal domain and our external domain.  I can get them to authenticate just fine, and email flows, but they continue to be prompted everytime they connect again.
    Here is the kicker:  When I install Outlook 2013 on the same computer, outlook anywhere functions just fine, no problems, no authentication prompt.
    Like I said I have read a plethera of articles and threads about this, I have gone through all settings on Exchange, our edge server, our firewall, our certificate.  The MSSTD string matches our "Issued To" string.  NTLM authentication
    is configured on both the client and the server.  Appropriate settings are configured on the firewalls. 
    Anyone know why Outlook 2010 would have this problem, but not Outlook 2013 on the same computer, same user, same mailbox database?  
    Thanks in advance!!!

    I'd still Echo Ed's original question.
    Do you have Outlook 2010 patched up?  At this time you need to be on SP1, and SP2 by October the 14th.
    Also I expect you to have a recent update ontop of that as well.

  • Extending Outlook 2013 to multiple instances and profiles under the same user

    Hello,
    I understand that Outlook 2013 will only run one profile under a logged in user account. can i use Outlook Primary Interop Assembly
    to add that ability to outlook 2013 ?
    Regards

    Hello,
    Only one instance of Outlook can be run. You can choose the profile programmatically using the
    Logon method of the Namespace class. Here is what MSDN states:
    Use the Logon method only to log on to a specific profile when Outlook is not already running. This is because only one Outlook process can run at a time,
    and that Outlook process uses only one profile and supports only one MAPI session. When users start Outlook a second time, that instance of Outlook runs within the same Outlook process, does not create a new process, and uses the same profile.
    If Outlook is already running, using this method does not create a new Outlook session or change the current profile to a different one.

  • Can we connect Outlook with Exchange 2013 with the default Self-signed certificate?

    Hi,
    the question is very simple, but after several days searching in this forums and in the web I have not been able to find a definitive answer YES or NOT. I know that Self-signed certificates are not for a production enviroment and only for labs and we must
    purchase a third party certificate or get one from a internal CA.
    Anyone can answer this question with no doubt?
    Thanks in advance!
    jspt

    Hi Abhi,
    I wrote this question because in a recent migration to 2013 from 2007 we've found with this problem: you can view it in the post http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/1ddd1e81-1061-4461-95dd-13de653ef8fe/outlook-cant-connect-with-exchange-2013-after-migration-from-exchange-2007?forum=exchangesvrdeploy.
    Also I have installed a new exchange 2013 in a lab enviroment and I also have unabled to connect from a Outlook 2013. The problem is the same Outlook is unable to detect the exchange server. Many people in this forums told me that have to be a certificate
    problem and for that I posted this question. Honestly, I don't know how to do for Outlook can be connect with Exchange 2013. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
