Notifications from a shared mailbox calendar to a group of people

HI
When a member of staff books a meeting . They add meeting room support as an attendee of the meeting if they need IT assistance .
I would like the meeting room support to be a shared mailbox or calendar that sends notifications to a group of people when a meeting is going to start as if it was in my calendar .
The problem is at the moment we have to accept all meetings to get that notification , so my presence and other members of the groups is always set to busy
We are using Outlook  2010 . I read somewhere that was a new feature of 2010 and wasn't a feature of 2007 . Can somebody just clarify that this is possible and how best to do it
Thanks
MM

Hi,
There is no such build-in feature in Outlook. As you mentioned, you can accept a meeting and then you will get the notification, this is how it works.

  • How can I remove "invitations" from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?

    How can I remove invitations from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?
    My wife and I share our calendars and she uses it very frequently. Every time she enters a new event on her calendar I get a notice (invitation?) in the Calendar app, even though I am not invited to the event she created.
    I would like to continue being able to share our calendars but I do not want the hassle of an Invitation popping up every time she enters an event.
    Thanks!

  • Sent items from a shared mailbox are not saved with the shared mailbox

    I'm experiencing an issue regarding the sent items from a shared mailbox. 
    The users would like the items Sent on Behalf of a shared mailbox to be saved within this shared mailbox.
    At this moment, the Sent Items are saved in the users own mailbox.
    We have a single Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 (Version 14.3 Build 123.4) and Users connecting the Exchange Server are using Microsoft Outlook 2007 (12.0.6680.5000) SP3 MSO.
    The user is granted full access permissions on the shared mailbox, and also has "Send on Behalf" permissions on the mailbox. The mailbox is setup as an "online" mailbox, so it doesn't use cached mode.
    I tried the following solutions mentioned in the various KB's and technet articles:
    Configuring the "DelegateSentItemsStyle" registry setting for this user (using a GPO)
    Configured the "Get-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration" cmdlet for this user
    Logged on to OWA and changed the "Sent Items" settings to save the sent items in both mailboxes
    None of these settings worked, not combined and neither seperately.
    Is there anyone who can help me resolving this issues?
    Thanks in advance,

    I am using a shared mailbox (with a disabled account) where I get sent items and also deleted items placed in the right folders.
    I think it’s just a matter of how you configure Outlook. It works well for me in both Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013, cached mode and also online mode. You can add a shared mailbox to your Outlook profile in at least two ways where one of them doesn’t work
    but the other does.
    If you add the shared mailbox via the File tab/Account settings/New/ and just enter the e-mail address of the shared mailbox in the Auto Account Setup page. No name, no password, just the e-mail address and click Next and voila “Your e-mail account is successfully
    configured”. After restarting Outlook you will find the shared mailbox below your own in the left pane.
    If you click the inbox ones in the shared mailbox and then open a new mail you will see the shared mailbox display name in the From field. After sending the mail you will see the mail in the Sent Items folder of the shared mailbox. If you delete a mail in
    the shared mailbox you will see it in Deleted items folder of the shared mailbox.
    The prerequisits for this is that you have “full access” and “send as” rights of the shared mailbox.
    This was accomplished without using the Set-MailboxSentItemsConfiguration command.
    We are running Exchange 2010 SP3 RU4.

  • Email stuck in outbox if sending mail from a shared mailbox

    Hi,
    Some user mailboxes have recently been migrated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010.  Shared mailboxes are located on Exchange 2003 still for the time being.
    Some users have send as permissions to a shared mailbox.  In Outlook the users are logged in as themselves and using the from field send an email from the shared mailbox.
    The email is sent and delivered to its recipient.
    The email is however stuck in the outbox of the users mailbox.
    I have tried recreating the Outlook profile, windows profile and using a different PC, but the mails still get stuck in the outbox.
    If outlook is changed to use cached mode then the emails are delivered.  We don't want customers using cached mode though.
    If I migrate the shared mailbox to Exchange 2003 I still have the problem.
    If I migrate the users mailbox to Exchange 2003 then the problem goes away.
    On the Laptop I am testing this on it is Windows 7, Office 2003.  I have also tested on another computer with Windows 7 and Outlook 2007. Outlook safe mode doesn;t help or turning off windows firewall.
    Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

    Hi,
    Based on your description, I found this kb below:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2703723/en-us
    This problem occurs when all the following conditions are true:
    Your Outlook profile is configured in online mode (not cached Exchange mode).
    You have the DelegateSentItemsStyle registry value set to 1.
    There is no resolution to this problem other than to either switch your profile to cached Exchange mode or set the DelegateSentItemsStyle registry value to zero (0).
    Note If you set DelegateSentItemsStyle=0 in the registry, email messages that you send from a shared mailbox will be copied to
    your Sent Items folder and not the Sent Items folder of the shared mailbox.
    Important
    This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the
    registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry,

  • Messages sent from a shared mailbox aren't saved to the Sent Items.

    Messages sent from a shared mailbox aren't saved to the Sent Items.
    In my enviroment , I have Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2007 - i have a shared mailbox called
    ServiceDesk. I have added this mailbox to user "Mike" and given mike "Send as Permission" .
    The problem
    When ever mike sends an email from ServiceDesk
    - the email goes to his personal sent items instead of the sharedmailbox
    sent items. Is there a way to force any email sent from serviceDesk Mailbox to its own sent items folder? .
    More information
    Below is a similar solution to my problem but i do not want to make any changes to my registry. Please any other solution to this?

    Thanks guys for your help ..
    Regards, MassonTech

    Hi,
    This is maybe the wrong forum for this question, but anyway;
    Thie site you were pointing out's solution is valid.
    Please look in to the following KB article that describes the steps needed to solve this issue. A hotfix package (which you might not need and a  a "fixit" dowload for it, but will also change the registry key.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972148
    If you have a larger environment and would want to deploy the registry value, I'd suggest using Group Policy Preferences Registry settings.

  • Using Exchange Web Service (EWS) Streaming Notifications for a shared mailbox in Exchange Server, works or not?

    Hi,
    I am planning to develop an application to use EWS managed API streaming notification for listening the new email event of a shared mailbox. Will it will work or not? I knew it works for a personal mailbox, where the authentication of EWS can be performed
    with the associated Active directory account. For the shared mailbox in Exchange Server, is there such an Active Directory account associated?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    >> Are you saying that if an Active Directory account has the access to a shared mailbox, and then this account can be used for creating the Streaming subscription for that mailbox
    Yes that's correct (try it yourself with the EWSEditor)
    >> In other words, the way how Exchange Server works is that the new messages like new emails are automatically sending to all of the AD accounts which have the access to a mailbox.
    Not sure what you mean by this ? A Shared a Mailbox is just like any other Exchange Mailbox if you have rights to the Folder then you can create a subscription against it. There is no automation involved.
    Cheers

  • Streaming Notifications for a shared mailbox in Exchange Server, works or not?

    Hi,
    I am planning to develop an application to use EWS managed API streaming notification for listening the new emails of a shared mailbox. Could you please tell it will works or not? I knew it works for a personal mailbox, where the authentication of EWS can
    be performed with the associated Active directory account. For the shared mailbox in Exchange Server, how it works?
    Thanks,

    If you are using EWS to access a mailbox other than the one connected to a specific account, you will want to check out EWS impersonation.  I've found it to be more reliable than any other method for accessing a second mailbox.

  • Send As from a shared mailbox stopped working

    I have created a Shared Mailbox a few months ago and gave one use full access rights and send as permissions. This worked perfectly since it was created. On Friday, the user started getting:
    Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:
    You can't send a message on behalf of this user unless you have permission to do so. Please make sure you're sending on behalf of the correct sender, or request the necessary permission.
    If the problem continues, please contact your helpdesk.
    There have been no changes made to any of the rights or permissions anywhere. The shared mailbox properties still show this user in the full access and send as list. The shared accounts address is available in the GAL so that is not an issue.
    Any ideas would be appreciated. I could probably recreate this mailbox, but would rather fix the issue or at least know what happened in case it does it again.
    Nick Laurino

    Hi,
    Have you tried removing and then re-adding the permission for the user? Worth a try when such issue occurs.
    As the administrator, you may want to verify that the user actually does have "Send-As" permission on the shared mailbox. To do that,
    Open the Exchange Management Console on the Server
    Navigate to Recipient Configuration > Mailbox and right click the Shared Malibox
    Select "Manage Send As Permission"
    Check that the user is listed in the permissions
    To solve the issue on the client side, delete the offline address book and allow Outlook to recreate it.
    Close Outlook
    Delete the Offline Address Book folder
    It can be found under "C:\users\{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Offline Address Books"
    Open Outlook and it will download a fresh copy of the Offline Address Book
    I hope this can be helpful.

  • Random Ad Hoc meetings appearing in a shared mailbox calendar

    Every now and then we keep getting some random ad hoc meetings appearing in a shared mailbox that we use for our team.  There doesn't seem to be any correlating factors between the users that send these in and the users themselves are not aware that
    they are sending them. What could be causing these?

    Hi,
    Ask these users who have this issue to change their password then login again, see if the same issue will occur in future.
    We may also ask the users to always start Outlook in Safe Mode, to determine if it's 3rd-party add-ins related:
    Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
    If this issue doesn't happen for a period, we may assume it's caused by add-ins, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify that.
    If we still can't figure out the reason, we may use Mailbox Audit Logging to monitor these users' mailboxes to find out the reason:

  • One shared mailbox with multiple distribution groups connected and the sent items folder - how to configure?

    Hi!
    I have been struggling for a while now with the following issue.
    For starters:
    We are using exchange 2010 in combination with outlook 2013 on client computers.
    Cause of the limitations concerning the number of mailboxes in outlook im looking for a solution to receive and reply 
    to multiple aliasses. So i did the following:
    1. Configured one shared mailbox.
    2. Configured multiple distribution groups
    3.  made the shared mailbox a member of the distribution groups
    4. Configured full access and send as permissions for myself on the shared mailbox ( testing )
    5. Gave send as permissions to the shared mailbox in Active directory. 
    6.  Logged in to OWA to setup rules for the shared mailbox.
    I now receive emails from all connected distribution groups in the shared mailbox and also in the right folder.
    I do however have to select the proper from address when i reply to an email. 
    the email sent by the main SMTP of the shared mailbox is placed into the sent folder of the shared mailbox. 
    I setup the senddelagate blabla in register.....
    When i sent an email as one of the connected distribution groups it fails to put the sent item in the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. The email is sent using the proper address but placed in the sent folder of my main account. 
    I want this emails to end up in the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. Or even better, in a sent items folder for each of the addresses. 
    Any suggestions ? 
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    As what
    Rajkumar says, sending as a shared mailbox(full access permission) will put the email in the sent item of shared mailbox. But it cannot be located in the “sent item” of a distribution group. Because
    it is a distribution group instead of a enabled user mailbox.
    According to your further description, I understand that the reason why you configure that is some users reached the
    limitation about the number of Exchange accounts you can include in the same Outlook profile. Is it rights? If I misunderstand, please point it out.
    By default, user can only add 10 Exchange accounts to the same profile. You can customize the limit to the number Exchange accounts in the same profile using the following registry data:
    Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\policies\Microsoft\exchange
    DWORD: MaxNumExchange
    Value: integer value starting at 1 (default = 10 if DWORD is missing)

  • Adding an Address Book card from a shared address book to a Group

    I have an Address Book Sharing Question/Problem. With the .Mac Family Pack, I have multiple .Mac Accounts. I have set up Address Book to share addresses from the individual .Mac accounts and set each to be able to edit the shared addresses. Initially, I was hoping that these would appear in each users Address Book and sync all changes, instead of just appearing as a shared Address Book below the users Address Book. But that does not appear to be the case.
    However, my question/problem is that I want to be able to add a card from a shared Address Book (for example from my wife’s Address Book) into a current group in my Address Book (say a family member group). I can drag the card in, but the information is apparently copied as a new card into my Address Book and changes I make are no longer synced with the shared Address Book (my Wife’s Address Book). Is this working correctly? (I know .Mac has been acting up in the last few weeks) If so, there does not appear to be much value in say sharing family, doctor, and friends info from my wife’s address book, as I can not create my own groups or if I do, our contact info is no longer synced. The new cards I copy in are also not visible to the shared Address Book, so we will also have no way of seeing that a card has been changed. Is there anyway to truly share a card or group of contacts between users of separate .Mac accounts so that the contacts can be separated into different groups for each user and card info / changes will remain synced? If this is already supposed to be occurring, any ideas as to a fix?
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Also, if I drag an entire group from a shared Address Book to my Address Book, it is copied in a blue color, making me think "Cool! It is different from a group that I create (which are white), so it must be shared!" But it is not. Changes to cards in this "copied" group are not synced to the original shared Address Book. So, what does the blue color mean?

  • SMS and/or email notifications from iPhone/iPod Touch calendar(s)

    My wife and I have iPod Touch's that we use to sync 2 calendars. Is there ANY way to get SMS or email notifications of an event?
    By syncing google calendar it will work ONLY if the event is created via google calendar - it won't work if it's created on the iPod.
    I bought GoCal which says it has this feature, but I couldn't get it to work.
    If i could get email notification i could just setup a filter to forward only those emails to my verizon dumb phones email address.
    The point of this is to have a calendar that stays in sync, but we don't have our iPods with us every minute of the day. . . so we need the sms alert of the event.

    Thank you very much

  • Sharing a calendar to a group

    We just upgraded to Mavericks Server, and I was delighted that it accepted a group name as a sharing recipient for a Calendar; however, it doesn't actually send invitations to the people in the group. In fact, as far as I can tell, it doesn't do anything at all.
    Does anyone know if this is supposed to work?

    Anyone know if this is supposed to work? Seems weird that it auto-completes any group, but doesn't actually send invites. Maybe it's just yet another thing that doesn't work properly in OS X Server?

  • IOS6 Calendar Invitation Notifications from Google calendar not responding

    I have an 4s with iOS6 installed.
    I received about 9 invitations from a shared Google calendar. I get notifications of new events, even if I'm not on the invite list.
    When I try to respond to the invitations (Maybe, Decline or Accept) nothing is happening.
    The buttons are non responsive. I can view the invitation and edit the invitation, but I cannot set a response.
    The number of invitations on the calendar never gets reduced.
    Could the issue because they are just the notifications and not actual invitations?
    I didn't have this issue before.

    Anyone?

  • How to make Rule to get notification for Shared Mailbox on Outlook 2013

    Hi All, is anyone have idea how to make rule on Outlook 2013 to get notify if you receive new email from your "Shared Mailbox".
    Is it possible that make a Rule for that notification? I have outlook here and I can't see notification when I receive new emails. Hope anyone can help me how to do this.

    Assuming the mailbox is open in outlook as a shared mailbox, you can use a macro to watch the folder: 
    Private WithEvents Items As Outlook.Items
    Private Sub Application_Startup()
      Dim Ns As Outlook.NameSpace
      Set Ns = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
      Set Items = GetFolderPath("Accounting\Inbox").Items
    End Sub
    Private Sub Items_ItemAdd(ByVal Item As Object)
      On Error Resume Next
    MsgBox "new message  from " & Item.SenderName & " in shared folder"
    End Sub
