KB2956087 changes Outlook 2013 room booking

A few users started to complain they were getting error messages when trying to book meetings in our Room Calendars.
They were using Outlook 2013 in schedule view, where they used to be able to double click in a Room Calendar, and that would automatically open a New Meeting window, with the Room already "invited"
Like so
With KB 2956087 installed, they got an error message saying
"You don't have permission to create an entry in this folder......."
If you look at the changes in
KB 2956087 , it fixes the following:
When you try to add a new appointment item to a shared calendar by double-clicking a time slot, a meeting item appears instead of an appointment item.
Similarly, when you add a new meeting item to a shared calendar by right-clicking a time slot, and then selecting New Meeting Request, the owner of the shared calendar is added to the To field. This behavior is unexpected.
Unfortunately for our users, this behaviour is expected, and desired! Apart from blocking this update, is there anyway to default back to the old way, where a double click created a Meeting? Right clicking on the calendar shows both options grayed
out.

Hi,
If you have installed this update, I don't have a method to change this behavior so far. The only method is to block this update, but I'd rather let the users change their habit a bit since this update also contains many other improvements.

  • Outlook 2013 People - Edit Name/Company Displayed at Very Top of Each Contact Box

    When pulling Contact info into Word from Outlook 2013 Address Book to insert in an envelope, the contact name, an actual hyphen, and then the company name are pulled in on the same row.  AddressLayout is correct in Word.  I believe
    this is an Outlook problem, because when I view Address Book in Outlook, under the Column headed NAME, the contact's name appears then a hyphen and then the company name.  Also, when I bring up a single contact, at the very top of that contact's box,
    the name appears, then a hyphen, then the company name.  This is a problem on one of our partner's PC.  He doesn't want to edit the envelope.  He wants the problem to be fixed.  Any ideas on how this can be corrected?

  • Outlook 2013 Not Responding and Offline Address Book Issues with Office 365

    Around 3 months ago I setup a small business with Office 365 for email. They have 10 PCs, all running newly installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, eight with Office 2013 and two with Office 2010. All are connected to a local domain (Server Essentials
    2012) with a single internet connection through a new TP-LINK router. Each user logs into their own PC only.
    The network runs perfectly, internet connection is good but there seems to be RANDOM, INTERMITTENT issues with email not being SENT from Outlook every so often. Email will sit in the outbox for up to an hour sometimes before, eventually, being sent. Incoming
    email seems ok, although this is more difficult to tell. At others times, email will be sent instantly - the size of the message and any attachments makes no difference.
    The issue has happened at some point on every one of the PCs but no particular PC/user seems worse than any other. When email is stuck on one user's PC it can still be sent ok by other users at the same time - so the internet connection is not down. Users can
    can always login to the OWA service ok and iPhones etc. all sync ok even when email is stuck in the Outbox.
    To debug the issue I have worked on one particular user's PC and carried out the following changes - 
    Changes that made no difference
    I have checked the router. A SPI firewall is available on the router but this is switched off.
    I have changed the MTU on the router with no effect.
    There are no unsual add-ins to Outlook
    Outgoing email virus scanning is disabled
    Outlook is NOT integrated with Lync
    The OST file is around 1.7 GBytes is size.
    I have recreated the Outlook profile twice but this made no difference
    Switched OFF "Cached Exchange Mode" - this made things worse !
    The Outlook address book is set to \Offline Global Address List
    I have disabled with Windows firewall on the client PC - no change
    I have adjusted the KeepAliveTime for packets in the registry of the PC to 20 minutes
    Changes that reduced the frequency of "Not Responding"
    I have changed the Outlook automatic Send/Receive time from 30 to 10 minutes - this seemed to help 
    Possible Related Problem
    I have attempted to download the offline address book manually - this hangs at "Copying offline address book template file" in the Send/Receive dialog and there a NO OAB files in the data file location on the PC. 
    So the only measure that has so far "helped" has been the Outlook Send/Receive time change - now set to 10 minutes. Even so, Outlook will occasionally go "Not Responding" for 30 minutes or more (no windows active - only option
    is to close and reopen Outlook).
    There does seem to be a problem with the Offline Address book. I can download this ok for this user on my home PC (Outlook 2010) but this will not download manually on the work pc with Outlook 2013 (despite following all the debug steps above).
    On work PC I can see literally hundreds of "Schannel" errors in the Windows System event logs - 
    Error - Event 36888 Schannel
    The following fatal error was generated :10
    The internal error state is 10
    These errors occur every 2-4 minutes continually all the time Outlook is running. When Outlook is closed the "Schannel" errors stop !
    Can anyone suggest what else to try, please ?
    I have already investigated this issue on the Office 365 Community Forum, and the Outlook forum and they suggested that it was a client (i.e Outlook) issue and that I should post here for further information.
    Thanks for reading !

    An update to this problem.
    I brought one of the office PCs back to my home network and connected it up there. With no changes to the PC I was immediately able to download the Offline Address Book without errors.
    This suggests to me that there must be some problem with the internet connection or router setup in the office environment.
    The router is a TP-LINK W8970. The internet connection is PPPoA. I have seen some suggestion that an SPI firewall can cause issues. This router has an SPI firewall but this feature is disabled on the router.
    While investigating this issue I have frequently been connected remotely to an office PC - sometimes for up to an hour or more. During these periods I have not experienced any connection dropouts so the actual internet connection seems to be ok (i.e. it is
    not dropping out). 
    However, something seems to be preventing the Outlook client from connecting properly with the Office 365 Exchange server in the office environment - or something is dropping the connection to Outlook. Does anyone know of any router settings that might affect
    this ?
    I could try changing the office router but I do not have a spare available. Can anyone suggest a reasonably low cost, currenbtly available router that they know definitely works in the Office 365 environment so that I could buy this for test purposes ?

  • Booking a Exchange 2013 Room Resource Calendar with a mobile device

    Can I book a Exchange 2013 Room Resource Calendar using  a mobile device?

    I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that's possible.  Scheduling a room resource requires the Scheduling Assistant functionality, which is only available with Outlook or OWA (full web client, not the Light version).

  • Address book issue when creating meeting Outlook 2013 Exchange 2013

    I am setup with Exchange 2013 Cu1 in coexistence with Exchange 2010 sp3.   When I have a mailbox on Exchange 2013 and run Outlook 2013 in cached mode (the default in my organization), The address book works fine for email.  When I try to add
    addresses or rooms to a calendar meeting, I get an error message that states:
    "The address list cannot be displayed.  The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable.  Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
    Under Address book, I see my mailbox, underwhich is contacts followed by All Users both of which work.  Then I have Global Address list and a set of lists under that all of which pop the error message above.  Following this is my CRM address lists
    which all work.   
    It appears that when trying to add rooms or individuals to a meeting it is defaulting to global address book which does not appear to be available.   When addressing email it defaults to "all users".
    Is this an issue with my default address book?  If so how do I resolve this. 
    Thank you

    Hi
    One workaround you can try
    Create a new OAB, add OAB Virtual Directory for all CAS servers under Distribution for default OAB.

    Hi Will,
    If the issue only happens to one user, please check whether the issue happens in Outlook Online mode. If the issue doesn’t happen in Online mode, please create a new Outlook Profile to check whether the issue persists.
    If the issue persists in Online mode, please setup this problematic user’s account in another worked Outlook client machine, then check whether the issue can be reproduced.
    Please start your problematic Outlook client in safe mode to have a try.

    I am using outlook 2013 64 bit and facing reading email.

    Hi,
    What do you mean by "I am not able to read the emails from my inbox"? Why?
    What I can consider is Conditional Formatting and font in message body.

    Hi,
    We are on Exchange 2013 SP1 and we are randomly seeing all Outlook 2013 clients getting "the Microsoft Exchange administrator has made a change..." forcing them to restart Outlook. Outlook 2010 clients are not affected so seems to be related to

  • MS Outlook 2013 Error message "The microsoft exchange administrator had made a change that requires you to quit and restart outlook"

    I am currently running 2 HP Servers, SAN Storage. I have Exchange 2013 installed and MS Outlook 2013 randomly appears with the message
    "The Microsoft exchange administrator has made a change that requires you to quit and restart outlook" It is happening very frequently and is appearing every few seconds on a lot of users.

    Hi WeeMac22,
    If you migrated from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, I found a KB for your reference:
    Outlook 2013 cannot connect after an Exchange Server 2010 mailbox is moved to Exchange Server 2013
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2934750/en-us
    If not, I suggest using OWA to verify whether this issue remains.
    1. If everything works well in OWA, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
    I suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
    I suggest re-create profile to refresh the caches.
    I suggest re-install the Outlook if all methods above not working.
    2. If this issue remains in OWA, please verify whether all users on the Exchange 2013 have this isse.
    If only one user has this issue, I suggest create a test user to check whether the test user has this issue.
    If the test user works well, I suggest try to re-create the specific user account.
    Please make a full back up before re-creating.
    Thanks

  • Change the default country code for new contacts in Outlook 2013 for countries not listed in Control Panel Region Format

    Dear all,
    I would like to change the default country code for new Outlook 2013 contacts. My country is Mozambique (+258) and is not listed under Control Panel> Region> Formats> Format:
    Is there any place (registry maybe, anywhere) where I can manipulate the existing formats or manually add a new format to the List ??? - for example Portuguese (Mozambique).
    I am using Windows 8.1
    I have tried changing the country on the phone and modem options and nothing changes. Also changing the Home Location on Region> Location to Mozambique didn't change a thing. The only place where I change something and produces results is the
    Format List.
    Any ideias???? If not, is there a place where I can ask Microsoft to include Portuguese (Mozambique) on future windows updates???
    Kind regards,
    Osvaldo

    Hi,
    Windows uses the information set under
    'Phone and Modem'  in the Control Panel to determine the default area code.
    You can change the country/region to
    Mozambique
    and set your area code here:

  • Outlook 2013 new mail notification sounds can't be changed

    I've got a weird issue with Outlook 2013 on Windows 8..  I've read several other posts that are kind of similar but they don't really apply.
    So, Outlook 2013 uses the "Desktop Mail Notification" sound event..  unless I change the .wav file assigned to that event.  Then it instead uses the "New Mail Notification" event.  Then when I change the .wav file assigned
    to THAT one, it changes again to instead use the "Notification" event.  Then when I change the .wav file assigned to "Notification," Outlook just won't play anything at all when receiving new mail.  It just flat refuses to use
    anything but the default .wav files.
    Has anyone run into this before?

    Hi,
    To change the new mail notification sound, please try the following:
    1. Right click the sound icon at the right bottom to open the sound settings.
    2. Under the
    Windows section, change both the Desktop Mail Notification and New Mail Notification
    events to have the same .wav file for the sound you want played for them.
    3. Then click OK to test the result.

  • Outlook 2013 - Meeting Tracking is not updated when a meeting is changed in a shared calendar

    Hello,
    we have troubles in our Outlook 2013 environment.
    We changed from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2013.
    We have Exchange 2007 in background.
    We have Outlook 2013 in Cached Mode.
    Problem description:
    A secretary changes a meeting in a shared calendar of one of her bosses/colleagues. The colleague (organizer of meeting) gets responses of the attendees (aceptet, tentiative, denied) in his Mailbox. When he looks into the meeting to check how many persons
    have acceptet the meeting, he founds out that the tracking is not update.
    I found out in my first solution steps, that this occurs, when the meeting is changed in a shared calendar. When I change th meeting in my own calendar, it works. But we need a solution for the problem, because our secretaries are managing the meetings for
    some colleagues.
    Thanks for help,
    BR, David
    David Strutzenberger

    Hi,
    For your situation, please try the following steps:
    1. Please install the lasted update for Outlook 2013, and then check the issue.
    2. Check if the AutomateProcessing calendar setting for your Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 is set to
    None.
    If so, please make sure the Exchange Server administrator start the Exchange Management Shell on the Exchange mailbox server.
    Then, run the following command in the Exchange Management Shell:
    Set-MailboxCalendarSettings username -AutomateProcessing Autoupdate
    Where username is the affected user's alias.
    3. Switch to Online Exchange mode to test the issue.

  • ICloud and Outlook 2013 - Wrong calendar is being synced, how to change?

    Hi all,
    I have iCloud installed and running Outlook 2013 on my Windows 8 computer and I'm having an issue with syncing calendars.  I've looked all through the discussions and haven't seen an answer for my issue so hopefully someone can assist.
    iCloud is installed correctly and under the iCloud section in Outlook, there is a calendar and it does sync with my iPhone 5 but it's the wrong calendar.  It's not the main calendar that is up in my list of folders for my email account.  I can't find a place to tell iCloud which calendar to sync with so I'm not sure how to go about getting the correct calendar - or both if need be - syncing with my phone.
    Thanks in advance!

    Wouldn't that be a bit like asking Toyota to change their car design because it doesn't work with the wheels I wanted to add?
    iCloud was built to provide a synchronization option and is claimed to work with Outlook.  Unfortunately it has a basic flaw that makes it almost unuseable by anyone that receives invitations via email, therefore it doesn't do what is claimed.
    I'm sure it works great with the other Apple products. And maybe Apple doesn't care to worry about Microsoft, assuming that people will blame MS for this failing and buy a Mac.  That is a shame because, like it or not, Microsoft is still the 800lb gorilla in terms of office products.
    Unfortunately you have entirely misunderstood iCloud, it is NOT a sync service, it is a subscription account that you can subscribe to with Outlook (amongst others). It does not sync your local calendar, instead you use the iCloud calendar.
    It is Microsoft who chose this behaviour, not Apple (although this problem does not exist with Outlook for Mac), Microsoft chose to make that entirely incompatible with iCloud calendars and contacts, thus avoiding the issue
