Issue with Outlook 2013-Notifications from published Calendar

Hi Every body,
I'm setting up for my little company published calendars on a Webdav servers (i'm using IIS on a 2003 server and Office 2013).
Publishing calendar works fine so far.
But i'm facing up a real issue:
When a user add other's published calendar the first user will also recieve Calendar alerts (appoitement alerts) from the added calendars (others users). Since i have arround 10 Shared calendar it's very frustating for users to be disturbed because of other's
calendars.
I've been looking for a way to disable those alerts but i can't find a way. on the Outlook settings. 
(I also want to keep personal alerts up)
Please help me i'm becoming very frustaded.
Best regards 
Fred

Well that's not the same calendar in outlook it's a realy different calendar that you get from your webdav server.
so i remind the whole process just to be clear =)
10 differents users are publishing their own outlook calendar on the webdav server.
So there is 10 differents ICS calendar into the server. But remember ICS calendar are copy from the originals calendar they need to be kept up to date.
Then some users pick the calendars they need from the server and add it into they own outlook.
in this way it appears as a whole different calendar in outlook.
When you publish a calendar from outlook,(right clikc onto the calendar => share => publish into webdav server) your have 3 ways to publish it, 3differents options. I can't translate properly since my version is in french. But just to make it short:
1)
The first way to publish it is not useful in my case because it doesn't provide enougth information into my ics calendar. about my appoitements.
2)
The second option looks good to me because it does'nt provide VALARM option Inside the ICS calendar.
But  with this option the message inside appoitements are missing.
3)
The third option Include everything about the appoitement (and the VALARM). An thats actualy my problem.
And Yes i'm editing the ICS file that what make me understood how the whole process works.

  • Outlook 2013 is not publishing calendar to webdav using settings successful with Outlook 2010

    I am successfully publishing availability data (an ics file) to a webdav server, using Outlook 2010. The format of the URL is https://[domain]/public_html/calendar/
    When I use the same URL in Outlook 2013, it returns the message "Contacting web server" and then "The upload to 'Calendar' failed. Failed to sign in."
    Of course, there's no sign in dialog box provided. So, I change the URL to the format https://[login name]:[password]@URL/public_html/calendar/
    There is no "Contacting web server". Instead, Outlook goes directly to the error message "The upload of 'Calendar' failed. The calendar was not published because the connection to the server failed. Make sure your computer has a network connection
    and that you typed the correct Web address."
    There's nothing wrong with the connection; I've tried this and its failed many times. So, I conclude that Outlook 2013 doesn't like a web address that includes the login credentials.
    What changed with Outlook 2013 that prevents it from publishing to the same location successfully published to, by Outlook 2010?

    This problem continues, and it's a showstopper.  Honestly, this is so easy to reproduce and so fundamental that I'm surprised that Microsoft hasn't done anything with it.  Tony Chen, your answer isn't really an answer
    at all.  Why mark it as an answer? 
    Here are the specifics.  I have Microsoft Outlook 2013 (15.0.4667.1000) MSO (15.0.4667.1001) 32 bit (part of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013).
    In my calendar, I select "Publish Online > Publish to WebDAV Server".  I then have a dialog box that requires that I enter the publishing location URL.
    I enter a URL (which is my company's internal WebDAV server URL), in the same form as the example given:
        https://mycompany.com/calendars/
    and then I click "Advanced".  I select "Automatic Uploads: Upload updates periodically", with the Update Frequency checkbox checked (to select the server's recommended settings).  I click "OK", and my calendar is published
    periodically to the WebDAV server, as expected.
    If I monitor traffic with fiddler, I can see that outlook periodically does a PROPFIND and then PUT of my ical data to https://mycompany.com/calendars/myfile.ics.
    Next, suppose I want to change the publish settings in some way.  So in my calendar, I select "Publish Online > Change Publishing Options".
    Now, the "Location" text box has the previous URL I entered,
    plus the name of my .ics file.  So it looks like this in the text box:
        https://mycompany.com/calendars/myfile.ics
    I click "OK", and I get an error popup that says "The address you typed is not valid.  Check the address, and try again."  Note that I didn't type the address at all - it is what outlook put there for me.
    As a side note:  in Outlook 2010 the URL shown is the same (i.e., the URL includes the .ics file) but the text box is inactive (greyed out) and the "OK" button does not produce this error message).
    So, already something has gone very wrong.  In order to try to work around this, I then edit the text box to remove the .ics file (i.e., to put the URL back to what I originally typed,
    https://mycompany.com/calendars/).  But now, one of two things will happen, neither of which is ok.
    In some cases, Outlook will continue to publish periodically, but when it does, it will do a PUT to
    https://mycompany.com/calendars/ - without the myfile.ics suffix.  Naturally, this fails, because the server doesn't know what .ics file it's supposed to put the PUT payload into.
    In other cases, Outlook ceases publishing altogether.  It will do a PROPFIND to the URL, but then no PUT.  I have not yet figured out the circumstances of these two failure modes, so I'm not yet sure why one happens and not the other.  But
    they are both wrong.
    So, the long and short of this is, you cannot change publishing options in Outlook 2013, because the functionality (which worked fine in Outlook 2010) is just plain broken.  I have given the steps required to reproduce this problem, and it seems like
    it would be easy to address.  Yet it has been sitting for 1.5 years with no fix.  What will it take to get this fixed?  Microsoft people, please advise - if I can get it fixed by opening a support case then please say so; paying is not an obstacle.

  • Sync issue with Outlook: Notes and Contacts ok - Calendar stopped syncing

    Greetings,
    Syncing (via USB cable) between my iPhone 3GS (3.1.2) and Outlook 2003 SP3 (Cal, Contacts, and Notes) has never been an issue until my recent upgrade to iTunes 9.0.2.25. Since then, I noticed that my Calendar was no longer syncing either way. When I hit "Sync", iTunes would indicate that it's going through the motion of syncing calendar but no synchronization of the items take place. Contacts and Notes continue to sync fine. One off behavior is that when I connect my iPhone via USB, I get a pop-up window with "Apple iPhone" header
    indicating "Camera connected" with option to pick an app (ie. MS Word) to lauch for this action. Never seen this pop-up. I just cancel out of it.
    Few things I did to try to fix the issue, in vain:
    1. iTunes->Info->Advanced: forced a "Replace information on this iPhone" - no changes to my calendar
    2. iTunes->Edits->Preference->Devices->Reset Sync History - all calendar entries on iPhone are gone
    3. "Repair/Reinstall" iTunes by running the install executable
    I stopped by the Genius Bar for an appointment related to my battery issue and asked the fellow about my sync issue. He wasn't "aware" of the issue.
    Anyone has a suggestion for me to try? Thanks!!!

    I tried now several things to resync my data cause it realy s*cks without. I tried to install itunes 9.0.2.25, 9.0.1 and 9.0.0 but nothing helped so far. I also tried to set Outlook 2003 as standard program for mailing (one forum wrote that helps, too) and I tried to find out if something blocks the communication betwen Outlook 2003 and itunes. But nothing could help so far, still no sync.
    I find it interesting that when I connect my iphone to my PC an then switch in itunes to the device and the "info" pane where I can setup all my sync data with PIM programs that Outlook still remains there as default synced application. But the subfolder in contacts also the mail accounts that should be synced cannot be seen. The option to force itunes to overwrite the calendar, contacts, notes and mailaccount data on the iphone no matter what can be selected. But when i do the synchronisation all of these options are unmarked again.
    Atm I'm thinking of tracing the problem down with Filemon.

  • How do I sync iphone 4 with outlook 2013 ?

    How do I sync iphone 4s with outlook 2013?

    Synchronization of calendars between Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and your Apple iPhone or iPod touch requires Apple iTunes. You can configure which items are synchronized during a one-time set up process. Good luck with your Mac!
    After the initial setup, each time that you connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer, the changes made on your computer or device are synchronized.
    Connect your iPhone or iPod touch to your computer using the cable provided with your device or by placing the iPhone or iPod touch in the Apple Universal Dock.
    iTunes opens automatically when connected to your computer.
    In iTunes, in the source list, under Devices, click the entry for your iPhone or iPod touch.
    Click the Info tab.
    Under Calendars, click Sync calendars from, and then click Outlook.
    Do one of the following:
    To synchronize all calendars, click All calendars.
    To limit the calendars that are synchronized, click Selected calendars, and then click the calendars you want to synchronize.
    NOTE   To select multiple calendars, press CTRL as you click each calendar name.
    Click Apply.

  • Outlook 2013 connection issue with exchange 2013

    my exchange 2013 was upgrade from exchange 2010. after the upgrade (migration), i using outlook 2013 connect to exchange 2013. some very
    weird issues happened.
    when i using auto discovery to create profile and connect to exchange will success. but when i manually create the profilewill failed. the following pic for your reference. (same account, same PC)
    please help, thanks lots!!!!

    This is what changed in Exchange 2013. It uses RPC or HTTPs (Outlook Anywhere) and uses Server GUID to connect...
    "As a result of these architectural changes, there have been some changes to client connectivity. First, RPC is no longer a supported direct access protocol. This means that all Outlook connectivity must take place using RPC over HTTP (also known as
    Outlook Anywhere). At first glance, this may seem like a limitation, but it actually has some added benefits. The most obvious benefit is that there is no need to have the RPC client access service on the Client Access server. This results in the reduction
    of two namespaces that would normally be required for a site-resilient solution. In addition, there is no longer any requirement to provide affinity for the RPC client access service.
    Second, Outlook clients no longer connect to a server FQDN as they have done in all previous versions of Exchange. Outlook uses Autodiscover to create a new connection point comprised of mailbox GUID, @ symbol, and the domain portion of the user’s primary
    SMTP address. This simple change results in a near elimination of the unwelcome message of “Your administrator has made a change to your mailbox. Please restart.” Only Outlook 2007 and higher versions are supported with Exchange 2013."

  • Unable to sync Mail/Calendar/Contacts with Outlook 2013

    I'm using the latest version of iCloud Control Panel to sync with Outlook 2013 on Windows 8, but I don't have the option to. Where there should be a checkbox on the Control Panel for Mail, Contacts, Calendars etc. there is just a message saying that these are 'available at iCloud.com'. I've searched through iCloud.com and can see no way to change this. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Control Panel, with no effect. I have checked Outlook Add-in management and the iCloud Add-in is active.
    Does anybody have any idea what's happening?

    I Installed office 2013 64bit on W8 64bit with icloud 2.1.1 (2 email account as imap) and everything works ok !
    also with office 2010 64bit on W7 64bit.

  • Sync contacts from two accounts with Outlook 2013 in my PC

    My wife and I both have an account with individual contact lists. I am using the icloud program on my win8 PC to sync the contacts with Outlook 2013. Can I set-up this tool to sync the contacts from both apple accounts ?

    The sync process for contacts with a supported address book application on your computer is a bi-directional or true sync process, or should be.
    If you use Outlook on your computer for contacts and your iPhone includes contacts before the first sync for this data, you will be provided a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. After the first sync and merge in this situation, the contacts between the two will be kept synchronized with following syncs or should be.

  • Iphone calendar does not sync with OUTLOOK 2013

    iphone 4 calendar does not sync with OUTLOOK 2013 calendar. Can anyone help?  Iphone [Apple] will not provide support

    Why won't Apple provide support? Do you mean free support if your iPhone is no longer under warranty if the AppleCare extended warranty was purchased for your iPhone, or if the initial 90 days of free telephone support after the purchase date has expired? If you no longer have free telephone support, free support is provided at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

  • Issues with SharePoint 2013 after upgrading from windows 2012 to 2012 r2

    We have a Sharepoint with Sp1 environment on windows 2012. Recently we upgraded the windows 2012 to 2012 r2. After the upgrade sharepoint environment is completely unstable.
    At first all the sites returned 401 errors. After resolving by resetting the object cache accounts the sites are back.
    Then i see that none of the performance point dashboards work. I figured that claims to windows token service is defaulted to local system account. I previously configured with a domain account. I reconfigured to work with domain account. 
    All the dashboard pages throw error.
           Some Error logs:Failed to get document content data. System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Cannot complete this function     at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSqlClient.GetDocumentContentRow 
    Application error when access /Dashboards/Performance Dashboard/Main.aspx, Error=The EnableScriptGlobalization property cannot be changed during async postbacks or after the Init event.   at System.Web.UI.ScriptManager.set_EnableScriptGlobalization(Boolean
    value)    
      4.  I tried to create a new dashboard and this time the performancepoint designer wont launch. After some troubleshooting i see that c2w host file didnot have the caller  C:\Program Files\Windows Identity Foundation\v3.5. 
           I added <add value="WSS_WPG" /> and now it launches
      5.  Now the Dashboard launches and peruser identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS. I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at the IIS level
    yet.
    It looks like lot of things got messed up and reset. Can we upgrade to windows 2012 r2 with a sharepoint application inplace. what is the recommended approach and Whats happening with Performancepoint dashboards. IS there a known issue with sharepoint 2013
    sp1.
    Raj-Shpt

    Thanks for the above article. Few issues are solved . One of the main issue is with Performancepoint Dashboard.
     I have all the spn and required delegations setup for this url . But i did not configure at
    the IIS level yet. Still per user identity works without having kerberos enabled at IIS.

  • Anyone  lose the contacts from their I-5 after syncing it with outlook 2013?

    Has anyone lost the contacts on their phone after syncing it with outlook 2013.

    You are correct. There is no other way to recover this material, and yes it would have been a good idea to backup the iPhone prior to the restore. Remember that a restore to a previous date deletes everything on the device and puts it back to the state of things on the date you choose. The texts and contacts would be gone. Did you possibly sync the contacts with a supported application on the computer? That is the only other way to recover contacts. They are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer, or with a cloud service such as iCloud, Google or Yahoo.

  • Outlook 2013 crashes when opening Calendar search result

    I have a user who uses her Outlook 2013 calendar extensively, mainly to note for herself when she has spoken to a customer, and creating appointments for when she needs to speak to them again. (This is outside of our policy to note the contact in
    MS CRM.) She can have scores of such Calendar items each day.
    When seraching for these appointments in her Calendar, she gets the list of results, but Oulook crashes when she tries to open any of them. Sometimes Outlook restarts on its own, sometimes she must relaunch it herself.
    Related threads reference a wwlib.dll error, but she is not getting that. It is Outlook.exe itself that is crashing. There are other threads that reference other open windows, or items containing webpages or tables, but these do not apply to her, either.

    On answers.microsoft.com, Girish M (Support Engineer who eventally directed me here), asked me to run Scanpst.exe. I would paste the results here, but this window does not seem to allow pasting. A summary description of what it found on her .ost file (no
    .pst in use) is basically this:
    **Beginning NDB recovery
      **Attempting to open database
      **Attempting to validate header
      **Attempting to validate AMap
      **Attempting to validate BBT
      **Attempting to validate NBT
      **Attempting to validate BBT refcounts
        ??Couldint find BBT entry in the RBT (E025CC)
      **Attempting to validate header NID high-water marks
    **Beginning PST/OST recovery
      **Attempting to recover all top-level objects
        **Store created by biuld: 15.4517
      **Attempting to walk all folders
          Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 719
          Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6CD
          Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6DE
          Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6D8
    and so on, and so on, with a few hundred more FLT RowID errors, finally ending with:
      **Attempting to locate any orphaned folders/messages
      **Performing Final HMP validation
      **Attempting to check top-level objects for consistency
      **Updating folder hierarchy
      **Verifying message moves
    My understanding of the Scanpst.exe process is that it also disables any addons which might cause crashing, but the issue is still being experienced. Running Scanpst.exe a second time (appending the previous log, although it seemed to actually prepend the
    file) only returned a few lines from the top of the result above ending with "Attempting to validate BBT."
    Fixes not attempted yet that I have found performing searches include running the Office Repair tool, or checking for KB2817631 (a Word update that is apparently having adverse affects on Outlook, not attempted yet because it seems to be related to the wwlib.dll
    error, which is not happening here).
    Any thoughts out there? Thanks!

    Mavis,
    Thanks for the reply. Running Outlook using /cleansharing and
    /cleanroamedprefs did not have any effect when used individually or in combination with each other.
    Running the Search Index Rebuild option also did not seem to do anything, as the pop-up message indicated that it may take a long time to finish, and yet seemed to finish instantaneously, not giving any indication that the indexing took place. The option
    window immediately said "Indexing complete" for 23,755 items.
    As to the Outlook Forum, they are the ones who directed me to this forum (you can see the thread on the Answers support page under Office - Office 2013 - Microsoft Office Outlook - Office on Windows 7, under the title "Outlook 2013 restarts when
    opening Calendar Search result item" first posted on Dec 11, 2013), as Girish M felt that it might be due to Exchange, and not Outlook. (I have no reports of any of our other users on the same Exchange server having the problem with their Outlook, but
    they also do not use it the way this user has been.)
    I can repost the issue there, or continue the same thread, if you think the issue lies with them. Was the "Answers" site the improper place to post, perhaps? Should it go in a different thread on Technet instead?
    Thanks for your assistance!

  • Highly frustrated with Outlook 2013 Search People box bugs - Multiple Name Results for Same Contact & Inconsistent Results

    The Outlook 2013 "Search People" box does not function properly. It frequently displays incorrect results or a mess of duplicate results. I've reported previous issues about this and consolidating my posts into one (with screenshots this
    time). Hopefully this message will be forwarded to or seen by the Outlook programmers. It really needs to be fixed.
    Outlook 2010 and other prior versions worked perfectly. You search for name, you get ONE result with the info you're looking for. FAST AND EASY. But with Outlook 2013 Microsoft has created a heck of a mess resulting in huge frustration and productivity loss
    with such simple but important tasks.
    I have hundreds of contacts stored in my Outlook address book, and they all have COMPLETE contact info added. 
    One major issue that I'm experiencing in the new Outlook 2013 is that I now get average of 4 or more duplicate name results appearing for the same contact. And each result contains different and incomplete contact info, making it impossible for me to quickly
    find the basic info I'm looking for. The cause of this issue is that Outlook 2013 now provides results from not only your local address book(s), but it also shows results based  on your email history and social media accounts setup.
    And there's no way to turn this off, or at least specify what folders and/or accounts the People Search box should use.
    To make matters worse, the Microsoft developers conveniently forgot to add some form of an indicator (like a small icon besides each name result in the list)  that clearly indicates what result is from what source. So you must manually click on each
    result one at a time and repeat the search until you locate the correct one.
    For one specific example, I have a contact stored in my local address book called
    Infusionsoft. When I type "Infusionsoft" in the People Search box to quickly find a phone number, Outlook  2013 shows me 7 results with the same name. See the screenshot below:
    As you can see in the screenshot above, every result just says "Infusionsoft", so I have to manually click on each name result one at a time and repeat the process until I find the correct one from my address book. This same thing happens with other
    random contacts.
    From what I can tell, Outlook is pulling results based on  based on recent emails I've received from different people with "@infusionsoft.com" in their email address. So the first result shows "[email protected]" (just the email
    address), the second result shows "[email protected]", the third result shows "[email protected]" and so forth. I don't want Outlook to show all of that. I just want what's in my address book!
    And you would think that the last result would be the correct one from my address book, but no. Sometimes its the 5th result, and other times it's the 3rd or 7th result. So there's no freaking order of things here.
    We simply need the ability to turn off searching of email history and other accounts when using the People Search box. Problem fixed.
    (And please don't tell me that I need to "link" every incorrect result to one main contact. You shouldn't expect everyone to have to tediously link any and all results that appear to a record. ESPECIALLY when 5+ results for each contact appear regularly.)
    ISSUE 2: Some names must be typed in a different way for the Search People to locate them
    Another big issue I'm having with the Search People box is that some name searches don’t show the correct result, unless I search for their names in a different way.
    For one specific example, I have a contact stored in my address book named "Dave Johnson". When I type "Dave Johnson" in the Search People box, one result appears, but it's just his email address, only. It's not the result that's stored in my Outlook address
    book with his phone number, addresses, etc. Screen shot below:
    If I type in Dave's name reverse order (Johnson Dave),  no results are found at all.
    Now if I just type in just"Johnson" all by itself, it finds Dave's correct result (the one stored in my Outlook Address Book). Along with everybody else that has "Johnson" in their name (see screenshot below)...
    I double-checked how I have Dave's name programed in my address book, and it's in there as "Dave Johnson" for both the Full Name and File As fields. 
    Also, the name order shouldn't make any difference when using the People Search Box anyway. Sometimes I can find people by Last Name, First Name or First Name, Last Name. Only with random contacts does it get difficult finding  their info and
    I have to do strange things like this to find them from the People Search box.
    ISSUE 3: Some Search People results only yield an email address only.
    For other random contacts, some search results only yield an email address with no other contact details. But I can open the persons contact card from the address book manually, with the same email address shown! Screenshot below...
    In the screenshot above, I have outlined the Search People box results in red, and the Address Book results in green. You can clearly see that "Robert White" is a contact stored in my local address book with full contact details, but the Search People result
    only shows his email address! Again, it's not consitent. It's hit or miss with different people.
    ISSUE 4: Some results just don't appear at all, but they are in the address book
    Another issue I'm experiencing with the People Search Box is that some people simply  cannot be found. But I can see their contact info just fine if I click on the "People" tab down at the bottom of the page and type in their name in the "Search Contacts"
    field. Why can't the People Search box find certain people? I opened up their contact details and cannot find a single thing  that would prevent them from showing up in results.
    These are clearly serious bugs that need to be fixed. And I'm shocked as to how this got missed--or ignored during alpha and beta testing. I see the "idea" behind the developers having the Search People box search everything outside of the
    address book, but in real world application this causes a heck of a lot of problems & confusion, and it needs to be fixed ASAP.
    For technical details, I have Outlook 2013 running on two computers using hosted Exchange 2010. One system is Windows 7 and other is Windows 8. The same problems occur on BOTH computers. As far as my Outlook account setup, I have all contacts stored in the
    main address book (no sub-folders or other folders).
    Can someone help communicate this message to the Outlook developers??? The "Frown" button limits me to 100 characters and one image. There's no way I can communicate this level of detail and steps to duplicate in 100 characters!

    Thanks for your reply.
    1) The instant search boxes in each individual page work just fine. If I am on the People page and type in a name in the "Search Contacts" field, it searches my contacts and displays the results that I want. But I should not have to leave whatever screen
    I'm in to find people now. In Outlook 2010 and earlier versions, I could be on the calendar page and then search for a contact without clicking off the calendar completely. For productivity-sake, it's a huge waste of time and hassle now.
    2) I'm familiar with how contact linking works, and quite frankly it's a huge mess in general. I NEVER create multiple contacts for the same person. I get that Outlook 2013 get confused now when it detects a LinkedIn or Facebook account for the same person
    already in my Outlook address book, but we need to have options that allow us to turn off results from some or all social networks. This is a big part of the problem.
    Think about it this way - The average person has 150+ LinkedIn connections, and more for Facebook. Many people today have accounts for both and they are setup with the same email address. When Outlook 2013 has to scan all the networks IN ADDITION to your
    local address book(s), it's a no brainer that it can get very confused trying to display results.
    Another big part of the problem is that Outlooks new search system also scans your email history. I receive emails from people who use multiple email addresses, or emails from companies with multiple reps or ticket systems that send you a unique
    ticket ID # ending in the same email address domain. Now Outlook displays people search results based on everything under the sun in my email history. This is beyond frustrating (see my "Infusionsoft" screenshot above in the first post).
    Again, I want to stress that for the search examples I referenced, I only have one entry in my Outlook address book for each person. And that's all I want to find when I search for people--what's already in my own address book! 
    In summary:
    We need an OPTION to turn off searching external networks when using the People Search box
    We need an option to tell Outlook to not scan email history for people search results (I think this needs to be disabled entirely actually. It's not helpful at all)
    There should be a fixed priority for displaying people search results, with local address book results FIRST, followed by social network results.
    There should be a clear icon/indicator next to each result that gives you a clue as to where the result is coming from. Your address book? Facebook? LinkedIn? We should not need to click on each result to get a hint as to where it's coming from.
    Work out the bugs in general with the new search system.
    One other thing that I didn't mention is that the Search People box also shows results for people I'm not even "friends" or connected with on the different social networks. But I've noticed that some people use the same email address for those networks that
    I already have programmed for them in my address book, which is why Outlook sometimes shows me these results. Does that make sense?
    I'll try rebuilding the index, but after testing Outlook 2013 on 3 different machines so far and seeing the same results (all slightly different results on each machine and very inconsistent), I doubt this will address the issue.

  • Acrobat XI email attachment does not appear to work with Outlook 2013 64 bit

    When attempting to send email from Acrobat, the following Microsoft Office Outlook 2013 64 bit error message is received: 
    "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request.  Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default email client."
    Naturally, Outlook was set as default client and then reset for good measure.  I did both Outlook and Acrobat repairs and have the latest 11.0.2 installed.  All other internal Office 2013 email applications work as well as seemingly all other embedded Acrobat funcitions with Office 2013 work well.  Office 2010 64 bit and Acrobat X worked fine.  I upgraded to Office 2013 64 bit and had the problem with Acrobat X.  I then upgraded to Acrobat XI and the issue remained.
    Most importantly, I intalled Office 2013 64 bit on my laptop with Acrobat X.  An the email attachment function works perfectly. 
    So, is there some sort of corrupt MAPI file that I have to overwrite on my desktop that the Ofice and Acrobat repair functions do not fix?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    I am sorry.  In my haste, not only did I attach the link the wrong way, but I also did not specify which solution worked.  My problem was a Click to Run issue.  The portion of the thread that deals with the problem is:
    "HurdleRemove replied on May 16, 2013
    I created a solution for this problem for 64 bit Windows 8 where Outlook 2013 was installed as Click-To-Run.......
    ......A  registry edit will fix the problem with Outlook 2013 click to run  installations and enable Outlook to be set as the default mail client.  This registry edit will for many third party programs eliminate the error "Either  there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot  fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it  as the default mail client." It  worked to resolve the problem where Adobe Acrobat was generating this  error.
    The registry edit is here for Office  2013 64 bit click to run installations that will enable Outlook 2013 to  be recognized by third party applications:
    1. Create registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook
    2. Create String value:
    Bitness
    3. Set the String value for Bitness to:
    x64
    This registry edit is an essential element  necessary to resolve the click to run problem that prevents Outlook 2013  from being set as the default mail client. Although it worked with  Adobe Acrobat, it will not completely resolve the  problem for some third party applications like Kerio Outlook Connecter  where the software developer has a web site that includes extra steps  necessary for a full resolution for the Kerio product. The Kerio web  site includes this registry edit in the context  of resolving the Office 365 problem. However, the registry edit works  with Office 2013 desktop as well. A similar register edit could likely  be made for 32 bit versions but the registry path would not include Wow6432Node. I do not have a 32 bit machine and cannot test a 32 bit solution."
