Integrate Sharepoint task list with exchange server

First question is it possible or not? I have tried to search a lot on this topic but does not find a way to achieve this. I know how to integrate task list with outlook but I want to integrate it with exchange
server. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Hi ,
In SharePoint Server 2010 , tasks lists are blindly synced to the local Outlook desktop application. You can see SharePoint Tasks only on the client computer to which the SharePoint task list was downloaded.
If you log on to another device, you must sync the SharePoint task list to that device in order to see the tasks.
But in SharePoint Server 2013, SharePoint Server 2013 task lists use Exchange Server to sync, tasks are updated in real time and can be seen on any device that you use to access Microsoft Outlook. When SharePoint
Server is connected to Microsoft Exchange Server, and all client computers are connected to Exchange Server, client computers receive information from the task lists directly from Exchange Server.
For a workaround, you can use 3rd Party tool to connect Exchange Server to SharePoint task lists. For more information, you can refer to the blog:
http://www.layer2solutions.com/en/community/FAQs/BDLC/Pages/How-to-connect-SharePoint-lists-to-Exchange.aspx

Can you turn in hours worked on exchange task lists with project server exchange integration

Can you turn in hours worked on the task list in Exchange if you turn on exchange integration? We are using Project Server 2010 and Exchange 2010. We want to turn on timesheets to report time and were wondering if you can use Exhange to
turn in hours worked on a task that you were assigned. Most people will use timesheets but for those individuals that only rarely work on a task in a project we want to allow them to turn the hours in on Exchange.

Hi
As per my undersatnding you want the resource to fill his no of hours worked in exchange server,
but the problem is like
The data you can update is not timephased, therefore you can only update the %complete or actual work.
You need to do some customisation to achieve the same.
Please go through the below link which may be helpful to you

Office 2011 Task sync with Exchange Server is overwriting data

Originally posted at answers.microsoft.com. No help there. They suggested I try posting here:
A little background in case it's important:
SBS2008 Server w/ Exchange v7 8.01.0340.000
I run an RDC connection to a virtual server running Office 2010 (this is not the same server hosting Exchange)
I run a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 and Office 2011
I use both of these workspaces simultaneously. Previous to installing Office 2011 last month, I ran Office 2010 from the RDC connection. Everything worked fine from that side.
Now that I'm using Outlook 2011 task management is very strange at times. I'm in MacOS 95% of my day. I'd prefer to use Outlook 2011 rather than 2010 through an RDC connection, which is the reason I purchased 2011.
The issue(s): Suppose I create a task in Outlook 2011, and save it; then, later I go back to make edits. If Outlook happens to sync while I have the task open in edit mode, it will get overwritten with the previously saved version. The only workaround
I have found so far is to hit the cmd-s button nearly as frequently as punctuation. At least I never lose more than a sentence fragment.
However, one thing that I can not seem to resolve at all is completion status. If I ever have occasion to re-activate a completed task--which does happen--toggling the 'completed' button back off and saving the task does not re-set its status back
to active. The 'task complete' flag seems to fall outside of the purview of the save function. So, while hitting 'save' regularly when editing tasks retains the data, every time exchange syncs with the tasks, it will mark the task completed again.
I have double/triple checked the server's time and my workstation's time are the same--down to the second. I've tried closing the Outlook 2010 application on the PC. I've fiddled with the sync services preferences in Outlook 2011 to sync to the
Exchange server, to my computer (and combinations of both); I've set the outlook folder to add new items to the Exchange server and to the local machine. The results are always the same as outlined above.

Hi,
Please start Outlook in safe mode and check whether the issue persists. Also make sure there is no third-party autispam program installed in your machine. If there is, please disable it to have a try.
Personal suggestion, if the issue only happens on your Mac with OSX 10.6.8 and Office 2011, I suggest we can ask a question in Outlook 2011 for Mac forum in Microsoft for more help:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoutlook?tab=Threads
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.
Thank you for your understanding.

What are the minimum requirements to successfully Synchronize a SharePoint 2010 Calendar or Task List with Outlook 2010?

What are the minimum requirements to successfully Synchronize a SharePoint 2010 Calendar or Task List with Outlook 2010?
SharePoint permission levels required for the user profile?
Does the user need top level permissions on the SharePoint site?
What other minimum requirements must be met for Outlook 2010 to synchronize successfully with SharePoint 2010?
TheDrape

Hi,
To synchronize these libraries and lists, you must have Outlook 2010 installed on your client computer and you must have Collaborate permission to the library or list.
You don’t need any permissions for the user profile.
I provide you a link about synchronizing SharePoint 2010 content with Outlook 2010 for your reference:

Limitations of SharePoint 2013 integration with Exchange 2010?

Customer using SharePoint 2013 and looking at whether its possible to integrate this with Exchange 2010 and which features would be available / limitations. Looking for a matrix similar to those found in the Good, Better, Best documents available for previous
versions. Nothing available on Recently Published content for SharePoint 2013 yet http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262043.aspx

I haven't seen a specific list, but the three features I've run into that only work with Exchange 2013 are eDiscovery in Exchange, Automatic Task Synchronization with Outlook and the Site Mailbox feature. There is a Legacy Task Synchronization mode
available that will work with Exchange 2010 if you turn off the Farm level feature controlling Exchange 2013 task synchronization. It lets users manually sync specific task lists with Outlook. But there is no task aggregation. I found this
whitepaper helpful for exploring the new features and how to turn them off when using Exchange 2010.

SharePoint Provider Hosted App that can update existing SharePoint Task List

Note: I am unable to take advantage of the Microsoft.SharePoint library directly. Adding a reference results in a 32bit/64bit library mismatch error.
I have to find a solution that uses only the Microsoft.SharePoint.Client extension.
I am looking for example code where provider-hosted SharePoint App loads a SharePoint Task List View that allows users to interact with the tasks.
So far I have only been able to programmatically create and then load the SharePoint tasks list, create and populate a DataTable object and set the datasource of a GridView object to that DataTable.
I am unable to trigger my method linked to my checkbox within the gridview.
Ideally I would like to just customize a Task View that already has this functionality.
Here is my default.aspx.cs code-behind file:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data;
using SP = Microsoft.SharePoint.Client;
namespace SPAppBasicWeb
public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page
protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
Uri redirectUrl;
switch (SharePointContextProvider.CheckRedirectionStatus(Context, out redirectUrl))
case RedirectionStatus.Ok:
return;
case RedirectionStatus.ShouldRedirect:
Response.Redirect(redirectUrl.AbsoluteUri, endResponse: true);
break;
case RedirectionStatus.CanNotRedirect:
Response.Write("An error occurred while processing your request.");
Response.End();
break;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
// The following code gets the client context and Title property by using TokenHelper.
// To access other properties, the app may need to request permissions on the host web.
var spContext = SharePointContextProvider.Current.GetSharePointContext(Context);
using (var clientContext = spContext.CreateUserClientContextForSPHost())
//clientContext.Load(clientContext.Web, web => web.Title);
//clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
//Response.Write(clientContext.Web.Title);
SP.ClientContext cc = new SP.ClientContext("http://server/sites/devapps");
SP.Web web = cc.Web;
SP.List list = web.Lists.GetByTitle("General Tasks");
SP.CamlQuery caml = new SP.CamlQuery();
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(caml);
cc.Load<Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.List>(list);
cc.Load<Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItemCollection>(items);
//try
//const int ColWidth = 40;
cc.ExecuteQuery();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("Task Name", typeof(string));
dt.Columns.Add("ID", typeof(int));
foreach (Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItem liTask in items)
DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
dr["Task Name"] = liTask["Title"];
dr["ID"] = liTask["ID"];
//dr["chkTask"] = liTask["Checkmark"];
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
GridView1.DataSource = dt;
GridView1.DataBind();
protected void chkTask_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
//add code here to update Task Item by ID
Response.Write("checkbox event triggered");
Here is my simple default.aspx:

Hi,
Please try to modify your code as below:
using (var clientContext = spContext.CreateUserClientContextForSPHost())
SP.Web web = clientContext.Web;
SP.List list = web.Lists.GetByTitle("General Tasks");
SP.CamlQuery caml = new SP.CamlQuery();
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(caml);
clientContext.Load(items);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
If the code still not works, I suggest you debug the code or following the blog below to create a Provider-Hosted App for SharePoint and read list items from SharePoint list.

2013, Resources do not synch if from MS Project to SharePoint task list

SharePoint and Project Professional 2013. I am synching MS Project with a SharePoint task list. Tasks synch just fine, but I continually get the synch error "We can't synch resource 'resourcename' to the tasks list because the resource
does not exist on the SharePoint server. This resource, and any other resource that doesn't exist in SharePoint, will remain assigned to the tasks in your project plan.". If I then select one of the tasks in SharePoint, add the same
resource (same spelling), then the resource gets synched to that and all other tasks in the plan (after I choose to use the SharePoint revisions in the popup window).
I am connected to Project Server and this happens for both a simple site synch to MS Project as well as if I use Project in visibility mode. I am posting to this forum because if I can solve the simple synch to SharePoint resources that will solve
both issues. We will have lots of PMs managing lots of projects and I would like to be able to synch resources from MS Project if possible.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Larry Christofaro, PMP, MCITP Tribridge

I am also getting this issue, but for few resources, I observed that these resources had a special character in their email address / name in active directory.
When I assign a resource from SharePoint it all works fine as mentioned by you.
Even I am not able to find a solution for this.
It would be great if anybody can guide us through this.
Thanks.

Calendar will not sync with Exchange server or most Google Calendars

Hi,
I am writing about my wife's brand new Samsung Charge on Verizon. We managed to setup both her gmail account and her work exchange server account fine, except for the calendars:
Her Google calendar shows up fine, but I am unable to even see any other Google calendars that she has access to (both her own secondary calendars as well as calendars that others have shared with her) in order to select them to be visible.
Her exchange calendar says it is enabled (on the list of available calendars), but no events at all show up.
This behavior is with the latest software updates on the Charge (2.2.1 firmware, I510.EE4 build) using its stock calendar software. I did notice that if I use Smooth Calendar, it does list all of her Google calendars under its listing of available calendars, but it still only shows data from her primary calendar. This is also true using the Touch Calendar app, which leads me to believe that there is some problem within the Google Calendar sync software that is not allowing her calendars to appear correctly.
Thanks!

Hidden Contact Subfolders are visible on iPhone after sync with Exchange Server 2007

Hello,
We have encountered an issue where synchronizing the iPhone with Contacts from an Exchange Server 2007 mailbox, causes hidden contact subfolders (from Outlook) to be visible and appear in the Groups list in the Contacts App on the iPhone. This does not occur with Exchange Server 2010 mailboxes.
We have a 3rd party application that creates hidden subfolders in the default Contacts folder on Exchange Server 2007 mailboxes. The hidden folders do not display in the Outlook client, Blackberry or on an Android phone. We did see that they were showing up in Outlook Web Access until we applied this Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 3 Rollup 2 patch unto the Exchange server:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2210042 - A sub contact folder is still visible after you set the "PR_ATTR_HIDDEN" attribute to "True" in an Exchange Server 2007 environment.
After the patch was applied, the hidden contacts do not show up anywhere else. However, when we synced the mailbox to an iPhone and synced existing contacts, all of the hidden folders appear in the Contact Groups list. Is there a way to hide the hidden sub contact folders on the iPhone and prevent them from appearing in the Contact Group lists?
Any help provided would be most appreciated.
Thanks and Best Regards

Hi SBuchan,
I have an open case with Microsoft about it. It is an issue with ActiveSync in Exchange 2007 that sends the hidden objects. Microsoft tried to resolve this in Exchange 2010 by sending a delete message after sending the hidden objects to remove them from the device. Am awaiting to see if they will approve a design change to Exchange 2007 ActiveSync to prevent the synching of hidden objects.

Getting permissions on distribution lists in exchange server programmatically

Hi All,
Is there any way to get the permissions of current user on distribution lists in exchange server?
dinesh

You cannot use distribution list to assign permission on sharepoint server.
You can use LDAP protocol to query and get user details from Distribution list and then assign permission. you will have to custom code this

Sharepint task Sync with exchange

Hi There,
i followed
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj552524(v=office.15).aspx. to configure task sync witth exchange server.
after successful execution of all the cmds i m getting following errors in ULS logs
1. An Operation failed because following certification has validation errors.
when i click site mailbox in my sharepoint site im getting following error:

Hi ,
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) configured for the Default Zone is a requirement for web applications that are deployed in scenarios that support server-to-server authentication and app authentication. This is
such a scenario. As a prerequisite for configuring Site Mailboxes, the computer that is running SharePoint Server must have SSL configured. For more information, see Create
claims-based web applications in SharePoint 2013 and follow the steps for creating an SSL site collection and server certificate.
You may need to import the Exchange Server SSL certificate from Exchange 2013 to SharePoint 2013, and from SharePoint 2013 to Exchange 2013. This is only necessary if the certificate is not trusted for the
API endpoints (such as a Self-SSL Certificate in a lab environment).
To import an untrusted SSL certificate to a new server:
Open Internet Explorer and navigate to Outlook Web App (if the deployment is on SharePoint Server) or the SSL SharePoint site (if the deployment is on Exchange Server): https://<ExServerName>/owa or
https://<SP_FQDN>.
Accept to trust the certificate by clicking Continue to website.
Click Certificate Error info in Internet Explorer next to the Address bar, and then click View Certificates.
Select Install Certificate and then select Place all certificates in the following store.
Select the checkbox to show physical stores.
Install the certificate to Trusted Root Certification Authorities > Local Computer.

How do I sync my contacts with exchange server?

I have a mac and an ipad and an iphone and my office is all microsoft and pc's. We are running outlook and exchange server. My email works fine. My calendar works "just ok" as it is quirky. The BIG problem is syncing my contacts on all three devices with my company's contact list which lives on the exchange server. What is the deal with this? Is there a work-around?

Let me fill in some blanks. I have a powerbook running Lion and using mail, addressbook and ical. My office is all on pc's and outlook and connected up on our network with exchange server. So here is the issue:
a. It first surfaced when we got iphones. Apple connects to exchange server's email and calendar relatively well but we have a COMPANY contact list that works great on exchange and outlook on everybody's PC's but DOES NOT work with the iphone unless you buy a third-party app that costs like $300.
b. THEN, I decided to get a mac and I have the same problem with the native apple applications (mail, addressbook and ical). Everything works EXCEPT addressbook. Basically, I have to create a fully redundant addressbook that will not talk to the exchange server company contact list.
So my question is really this: I don't want to have a separate contact list for my company contacts that does not sync with the mother ship. I don't like not having all my contacts on all my devices. It seems that there is a problem between the global contact list in exchange and my addressbook contacts on my apple devices.
Does anybody know about this issue and does anybody know how to solve?
