Missing "Connect to Outlook" in action menu.

I have an issue with at some Windows XP SP2, IE 7 systems.
The “Connect to Outlook” doesn’t shows up in the action menu. As far as I can see this is not an issue with the MOSS server but a client problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,
I have found solution.Please try it for me it is working fine.
According to the MS support site this has to do with the security settings in IE11:
1.Open Internet Explorer
2.Click on Tools at the top and select Internet Options
3.Click the Security Tab
4.Click Local Intranet
5.Click Sites
6.Click Advanced and all of the intranet sites will reappear in the websites box, make sure there is a check box in the Require server verification box
7.Click Close
8.Click Ok
9.Click Ok [done]
Thanks,
Asik

The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. outlook must be online or connected to complete this action

I have outlook 2013 and am trying to add an exchange 2010 multi-tenant account.
I have created a new profile.
I select Manual setup or additional server types
Then select Microsoft Exchange Server or compatible service
I enter the server settings. But the following error is returned when i click check name
"The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. outlook must be online or connected to complete this action"
I have tried selecting more settings, selecting security, and then selecting the option:- Always propt for logon credentials.
But the same error is still returned
I tried deselecting the option Encrypt data between Microsoft outlook and Microsoft Exchange
But still continue to get the same error.
Reading from other forums I have tried restarting the Microsoft Exchange Address book service under services on the exchange server.
But this did not help either

any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
This issue may occur 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.
NOTE: The \User Shell Folders key also contains a string value called
Local AppDatawhich is different from the value called AppData. The value that causes this problem (if it is missing) is the
AppData value.
To resolve this issue, import the User Shell Folders registry key from a working Windows User Profile.
For more information, please refer:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2264398
Hope this helps.

I have looked in the registry and Appdata is not missing it has the following value "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming" also Local AppData is there with the following value "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local" i do not have a working machine to import the user shell
folders registry key so any other advice would be useful.
thanks

The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. outlook must be online or connected to completed this action

Hello,
I used to use Outlook 2010 connecting with my account.
However, after I upgrade to outlook 2013, whenever I tried to connect to my account,
it keeps saying "The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable.
outlook must be online or connected to
completed this action."
I've read the other threads, I deleted my accounts through using control panel and so on, but nothing works for me.
Plz help me :(
Other office stuff such as excel,
powerpoint and word works very well.
Thanks

Hi,
If you could connect with your Exchange account with Outlook 2010 successfully and OWA works well. Then the issue might be more related to your Outlook 2013.
I would like to know your Exchange server version. Please understand Outlook 2013 is not compatible with Exchange server 2003 or an earlier version of Exchange. For more resource:

The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action. Error while connecting to exchange through Outlook 2010

Hi,
I have set up Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2008 R2. Everything is working fine except I am unable to configure Exchange account in Outlook 2010 or any other version. It says
"The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
Error screenshot is attached. Even, I am able to configure exchange active sync on my adroid and ipad which is working perfect. Please let me know if any body have any idea about it. Searched many blog and forum but still now solution till now.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,
Can you ping your Exchange server? It would hlep us isolate the fault from network releated issue.
Is there a trusted certificate installed on Exchange 2013 server?
If you run the test of RPC over HTTP in
https://www.testexchangeconnectivity.com/, is there any error returned?

Cached exchange mode was already marked so that was not the issue.
I have done all the usual of creating a new profile, reinstalling Outlook etc but nothing seemed to work. I also tried going back to Outlook 2007 and reinstalling Windows but same problem.
However, I am not sure if it is connected but I was useing the option in MS Live Sync to synchronise Office settings which I turned off recently and now no longer have the issue. Unfortunately I cannot remember when in the process I did this so cannot be
sure it was responsible - anyone else found this?

Users cannot see "additional actions" menu in MS Outlook contacts

Hi, I am having issues with some Outlook 2007 clients not being able to see any items in the Additional Actions menu, this should display contact cards phone numbers and call with edit options.
Cisco's fix (Restart outlook) below does not help me. Has anyone come accross this before and have a fix?
Windows 7, Outlook 2007, CUCiMOC v7.1x
Thanks for your help!
Brendan

This was because the DLL didn't get installed properly. What OS are you on? You might have to do the install as local administrator.
Later version of CUCIMOC should fix this permission issue.

Configure the default email address policy.

Coexistence Exchange 2007 and 2013 - Clients on 2013 cant connect to Outlook, OWA works fine

Hi
We are currently running all our users on Exchange 2007. I've installed Exchange 2013 on another hardware following several guides on coexistence between 2007 and 2013.
I'm now testing with a few test users I've migrated from 2007 to 2013.
Everything was working fine until I messed up with something. It's either the certificates and/or Exchange Web Services and/or activating Outlook Anywhere.
Now, all my tests users on Exchange 2013 can connect and send/receive emails on OWA, but Outlook clients cannot connect to Exchange server.
When I start Outlook, I get the error Unable to open the default mail folders
When I try to create a new Outlook profile, I get the error: "The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action"
When I click on Check Name, I get: "The name cannot be resolved. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action"
Thanks for any help you could provide
Martin

Changed the
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod for the 2007 server.
Output for Get-OutlookAnywhere | fl *method*
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
IISAuthenticationMethods : {Basic, Ntlm, Negotiate}
ExternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
InternalClientAuthenticationMethod : Ntlm
IISAuthenticationMethods : {Basic, Ntlm, Negotiate}
Now everytime I try to create an Outlook profile whose mailbox is on Exchange 2013 it's
asking for credentials.
If I dig further and try to manually configure server settings:
If I specify the Exchange 2013 server and try a 'Check
Name', it says: "Outlook cannot log on. Verify you are connected to the network and are using the proper server and mailbox name. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
If I specify the Exchange 2007 server and try a 'Check
Name', the server changes for the fqdn of the 2013 server and it does resolve 'Check Name' process. Clicking on Next at this point completes the 'Add new e-mail account wizard". But is I try to start Outlook, I got an error saying "Microsoft Exchange is unavailable"
Any other thoughts on this issue?
Thanks,
Martin

Site Actions Menu randomly disappearing

Hi,
We currently have a situation were the Site Actions menu/button randomly disappears for users that should have site owner permissions. The Site Actions menu will appear for a short while after assigning site owner permissions however will disappear shortly
after. The only way I'm able to get it to display again is to remove owner premissions from the user then re-add them again.
Has anybody seen this behaviour?
Further information:
Using SharePoint 2010;
Using Claims Authenication, Trusted Identity Provider ADFS;
Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,
Please check whether there is a web part that is crashed on the site.
Whether this issue occurred for all users who have site owner permissions.
Please try to go to IE advance setting tab and reset the settings, compare the result.

Manager Actions Menu SSHR

Hello,
I have created a mock of the seeded "manager actions" menu with most of the same functions but when I attempt to use the function in my Manager self service responsibility none of the actions available are present? I have changed the profile "HR:manager actions" menu to use my custom manager actions menu no functions show up. Is there a reason for this?
What am I missing? I am currently using 11i.

Dear,
Use 'Functional Administrator' responsibility. Navigate to Core Service > Menus. On this screen search for Manager Self Service. You will get the menu here. Click on Duplicate. Create a duplicate menu. Rename it with desired name. Once saved you can search for the same menu in System Administrator responsibility > Application > Menu. Just delete the prompt for functions that you don't need. Keep other as it is. Doing so, you will get all the seeded functionality in Manager Self Service.
We should never copy paste name of function and menus. We should duplicate the seeded one.

"Type mismatch" error in IE7/8 when using custom Actions Menu Image

Hi all,
in APEX 4.2: when using a custom image in the "Actions Menu Image" attribute in an interactive report, I get a "Type mismatch" error in IE7/8 when refreshing the report through PPR (filtering, sorting, paginating etc.). When I leave the "Actions Menu Image" field empty, everything works fine. The error doesn't seem to happen in IE9 (unless using compatibility mode), or in any non-IE browser.
I've been able to reproduce the issue in an application on apex.oracle.com:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=69347:1
Some debugging seems to indicate that the following line in widget.interactiveReport.js is the culprit:
lTemp.parentNode.replaceChild($x('apexir_WORKSHEET'), lTemp);Does anybody know if this is a known issue, or if there is some workaround?
Thanks,
Tobias

Hi,
Great solution Paul! It cost me a while before I found out the Action Menu Image was causing my interactive reports to stop refreshing in IE10 and not other browsers. Your solution works great, I've implemented it with a few minor adjustments:
- Put the css in report template (for some reason it didn't work in our own application stylesheet)
- replace 'url("/c/action_dropdown.gif")' with 'url("&APP_IMAGE_PREFIX./<path_to_image>")'
- place one dynamic action on page 0: after refresh of '#apexir_DATA_PANEL' , set event scope to "Dynamic".
- Let the Dynamic action also fire on page load.
- To make sure the dynamic action only works for pages with an interactive report add condition of type 'Exists' with expression:
select 1
from   dual
where :APP_PAGE_ID in (select page_id
                                        from   apex_application_page_ir
                                        where application_id = :APP_ID

Interactive Report - Add a 'custom' Action Menu Item

Hi,
I'm wondering if it is possible to add 'custom' Action menu items to an interactive report?
I have a situation where I want to use all the richness that an interactive report gives with it's out of the box functionality, then if a download is selected I need to be able to set a 'lock' on the currently selected records set before the records are downloaded.
I've had a good look around the forum and various other sites and I can't seem to find anything in this area. The nearest I can find is on the OBD tutorials the ability to add a 'Reset' button.
I know how to create custom download functionality, to which I could add the required record locking functionality and in turn link to a button, but what I don't know how to do is pull out the selection variables from the Interactive Report in order to construct my select query.
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree and there's a better way if so any suggestions would be most welcome.
Many thanks in advance Peter..

Hi,
For your issue, in SharePoint Designer, Click Custom Action->View Ribbon->Create Custom Action.
Then the extra form will show up in the Ribbon.
