Office 2013 "Working Elsewhere" not viewable in Scheduling Assistant

Hey
I have a problem with appointments that have the Show As option as "Working Elsewhere".  When someone tries to use the scheduling assistant and selects someone who has an appointment set to "Working Elsewhere" the appointment
is not visible at all in Scheduling Assistant. If the person changes the appointment to Busy or Out of Office is becomes visible again to the person using Scheduling Assistant. Outlook 2013 and Exchange Server 2010 with the latest updates installed are
being used in our Environment. Is this type of behaviour by design or is it something else like using Exchange 2010 that doesn't support it fully?
Thanks for the help
Charlie

Hi Charlie,
Base on my search, because "Working Elsewhere" is a new free /busy state introduced in Outlook 2013 clients, exchange 2010 may not know it.
So, this is a type of behaviour by design, thanks for your understanding!
Best regards,

    Hi,
    Based on my research and test, the WorkingElsewhere field is applicable for clients that target Exchange Online and versions of Exchange starting with Exchange Server 2013.
    Between outlook 2013 clients and mailbox being on Exchange 2010, the meeting invite would show as "Working Elsewhere" for each of the attendees in their respective calendars but does not show any information regarding other attendee who accepted
    the meeting request.
    Thus, the Working Elsewhere field is visible in attendees’ Schedule Assistant with outlook 2013 and mailbox on Exchange 2013. Here is an article talked about it:

  • Office 2013 group policies - not working

    I'm using Office 2013 Pro Plus SP1 (volume license) on a Windows 7 Pro machine [both are 32 bit].   While I have Server 2003, it's configured to work with Windows 7 and Office 2013 Group Policy templates.  I use RSAT on a Win 7 computer to
    create/manage the Group Policies.
    Since we're not using Office 365, I'm trying to block some of those features, as well as disabling the Office Start screens.
    Thinking that SP1 might be the problem, I downloaded the group policy templates for SP1 and copied them to the server.
    If I create a policy (Office_2013_settings), with a few settings, like "Block singing into Office".  In Group Policy, I disabled the Computer Configuration, leaving the User Configuration enabled.  If I force group policy on the target
    computer and look at RSOP, I see the computer configuration settings disabled, but nothing for the user configuration, although it's enabled in the policy. 
    If I put a junk policy entry on the computer configuration and enable both policies on the backend, force group policy on the computer, and look at RSOP, under computer configuration, I see the Office_2013_settings policy, but the policy still doesn't appear
    in the user configuration.  If I scroll to the bottom of the file, where I can see other Administrative templates and their settings, my Office_2013_settings aren't visible.

    I have created a group policy with a few settings, and applied to my own computer. It seems to be very nice to me. Please first check the apply status on the client site based on the GPSVC.log
    Thinking the issue might be on the way how you create/manage the Group Policies on Windows Server side. Please check the model of how you deploy your group policy, on a domain or OU level?  Loopback Merge or Replace? This might affect whether the user
    would receive all settings from GPO applied to User or Computer. This article might be useful to you:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2013/02/08/circle-back-to-loopback.aspx
    This might be an issue on Windows server side, you may need to post your question to below forum to get more suggestions:

  • Office 2013 Auto Archiving not working

    Dear Sir / Madam,
    We are using MS OFFICE 2013 with Windows 8.
    Problem we face is Auto Archiving not working at all. We have defined all the parameters, still it is not working. We are using Exchange Server and all the emails are Archived to local PST files after a defined time period.
    We have defined all the steps required to do Auto Archiving.
    Your help is required in this since we have tried all the options.

    Hi,
    What's the size or your archive.pst file? Please first make sure it's not getting close to 50 GB limit.
    If the size far below 50 GB, please try to use the Inbox Repair tool to scan and repair the archive.pst file. If the file is corrupt, the autoarchive will not happen.

  • Outlook / Office 2013 PDFMaker is Not working

    I cannot activate the PDFmaker in Outlook 2013 (365 Small Business Edition).    I have downloaded a trial version of Acrobat XI Pro to make sure I have the latest version of PDFMaker.
    I can see the plug-in in the Add-ins Panel. It has a load behaviour of Load at StartUp.... but when i come back to the Add-ins Panel it is still has a status of InActive.
    Also, in Word I do not get any extra Ribbon commands (as per Adobe Tutorial.
    I am a Win 7 64 bit, using 32 bit Office 365 and have checked that I am loading the 32 bit version of PFFMaker.
    Help please. I have spent half a day troubleshooting this issue.
    Regards.

    No mention of the Acrobat version. You need at AA XI at least and I think the updates are also needed. Otherwise, the upgrade to OFFICE 2013 has just required that you upgrade Acrobat also to be compatible with OFFICE.

  • Office 2013 applications will not run as a domain users

    I have a windows 7 64-bit pc with 2013 office home and and business installed. When trying to access Office as a domain user the programs will not run. Is there a fix for this other than making the users local admins?

    Hi,
    Which version of Office 2013 did you deployed, Windows Installer-based version or the Click-to-Run version?
    Did you install the Office product with local administrator account? I notice that the users must be local administrators on their computers to install Office:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624360.aspx
    If we add the local admin right to the user, can the Office programs be launched? If so, repair the Office programs and then remove the local admin right. See if it can work.

  • OFFICE 2013 - Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Microsoft Query

    Hi, I have installed office 2013 on a pc and used excel to run a query on a database and created a .qry query so I can use this data in word mail merge.
    The query runs ok and returns the data.
    However, when I go to take the data in through mail merge it comes up with a message "Confirm data source" ( I enabled this after  reading kb article below) so I select "MS query files via DDE(*.qry, *.dqy)" as this is a .dqy I select
    it. It says at the bottom of the screen word is starting query then comes up with the error  "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Microsoft Query to complete the current task".
    I have re-did the query from scratch and no difference I tried the recommend kb article 918594 and it still doesn't work.
    I recreated the odbc link and still no joy.
    Has anyone come across this and have they a solution I would be grateful.
    Thanks

  • Office 2013 ADMX files not being read by group policy editor?

    Okay so I'm having a real problem with the ADMX files for Office 2013. First of all we have a mix of 2012 R2 DCs with one 2008 R2 DC. The 2008 R2 is currently the primary DC. Here's what I've done so far:
    Downloaded the ADMX files both 32 and 64bit.
    Copied from my machine (Win7) to 2012R2 DC.
    Downloaded and copied directly to the 2012R2DC policy definitions location
    According to the research I've done, the Office 2013 template is supposed to appear under User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates. However it doesn't show up no matter what I do.
    I consider myself fairly knowledgeable with GPOs but I'm stumped on this one. Can someone tell me what I'm missing here?

    Hi, 
    Have you copied the ADML files to the language folder in the PolicyDefinitions folder?

  • Project Server 2013-Tasks updates not replicating on schedule page

    Hi,
    We have updated the custom fields data in MyTasks.aspx page, but those changes are not updating on Schedule.aspx page evnthough those tasks are approved.
    Your help is greatly appreciated
    Thank You,
    Kusuma

    Prasanna explained how to do this using a Macro, and he also points out the perils. What happens when you have two resources assigned to the task? If User A enters a value of A and User B enters a value of B? Which value would you have appear at the task
    level?
    You can ask the system to roll down values from Task to Assignment, however you cannot ask the system to rollup values from the Assignments to the Task level without providing custom logic to handle the all of the potential possibilities.
    Between Prassanna and Barbara, you have a comprehensive answer, I am simply trying to help you understand their replies. The key to understanding this is the "one-to-many" relationship between tasks and assignments. In practice, you might have a policy of
    "one assignment per task," but that is not typical, and there is no way for Microsoft to guess what is supposed to happen to your custom task/assignment fields when one assignment value does not match another assignment value on the same task.

  • Office 2013 ActiveX Controls not working

    Hello,
    We have two users that are not able to interact with any ActiveX controls in a Word document. When they try to  put a check mark in a check box, the whole object gets surrounded by a box like it does when you have it in design mode. Design mode is not
    enables and double clicking the object does not bring up Visual Basic. This occurs no matter who is logged into the PC.
    I have deleted all files that end in .exd and even ran the MS Fix it tool that does the same. I ran the Office repair tool, both quick and online, and even uninstalled office and re-installed it. None of this
    has fixed the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Try deleting one of the checkboxes and place a new one see if it will work then. Or do set the form in design mode, save the document, open it again and place it back in form mode then try again. Do you have code behind the document?

  • Office 2013 - Contacts/Rules not recovered after system restore

    I have an IMAP connection and was having issues in Outlook 3013. I deleted the profile and created a new one not realizing that my Contacts (This computer only) and Rules would also disappear.
    I did a System Restore and my original Outlook profile returned.  The issues I was having in Outlook were corrected but my Rules and Contacts did not come back.  How can I get these back?

    Hi,
    We can't move an IMAP .ost file to another profile in Outlook 2013. You need to export the contents of the non-mail folders to a .pst file to move them to a new profile.

    It's recommended to download and install

  • Office 2013 will not open any applications

    I am having a problem with a number of users complaining that Office 2013 applications will not open. I double click on the icon, or single click on the tile (Windows 8.1) nothing happens. Looking at the task manager the only thing related to the office
    is the Office ClickToRun service is running.
    The only thing I can do to get things working again is to do a full repair from the Programs and Features Control Panel Applet. I have tried the quick repair and numerous other things but nothing else works. I have let it go for many hours thinking it may
    be installing something but still nothing happens.
    Since I know how to fix it, the problem has a work around, however, since I am running a good number of workstations using 2013 this way I am afraid this is going to happen to more users (So far it is three users).
    Please help, there must be a way to fix this instead of repairing every time it happens.

    Hi,
    Do you try to open Office with below methods?
    Go to Office location folder to open Office suits.
    Press Win+R>Enter winword.exe (or other)
    If we can open them, please follow the KB and re-create the software shortcut in Windows 8.1
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2820848/en-us
    If we still can't open them, please first let me know the update lists you have installed before this issue.
    Then, restore the system back to the point when the Office app work fine.
    As following, we can install these updates one by one to navigate which update cause this issue.
    Then post back the KB number and full name here.
    I will try to reproduce your issue and plan for further troubleshooting steps.

  • App-V 5 Client + Office 2013 (Administrator OK, user Not OK)

    Dear MS,
    I've installed App-V environment onto our Windows 2008 RDS farm with your tech documents successfully.
    Then I test it with a simple sequenced app (Mozilla Firefox and XML notepad) and it ran successfully.
    I've also sequenced Office 2013 with ODT (Office Deployment Tool), no errors at the end.
    But now the problems starts: when I log in as a normal user, then Office 2013 will show in Start menu, but disappears after a short time.
    Logging in as Administrator doesn't have the issue, Office 2013 works perfectly.
    The MS Office 2013 has been sequenced onto Win 2008 and 2012.
    (yes, I know the 2012 sequencer is not ok for 2008 RDS, but the Firefox and Notepad were sequenced on Win 2012 and ran perfectly on Win 2008).
    I did'n found related information on the technet forums.
    What could it be? Kind of permissions on VFS? Where can I fix it? Or is the issue related to the sequencer?
    ps. also tried installing MS hot fix 4 (and 5) for App-V 5 client, but the issues keep coming back.

    What messages are in the App-V log in event viewer that might be applicable?
    The message beneath viewed when an user log in. As an administrator, the event doesn't show up
    Part or all packages publish failed.
     published: 2 (Firevox and XML notepad)
     failed: 1 (Office 2013)
    Please check the error events of 'Configure/Publish Package' before this message for the details of the failure.
    EventID 19104
    Are you redirecting the Start Menu to the network?
    Nope, the start menu shows only default applications when the user logs in.
    The App-V Folder in Start Menu from Firefox and XML notepad are visible, but the office folder doesn't come up.
    As an administrator, both Firefox, XML notepad AND Office folders are visible.
    -but-
    When I use Start Menu folder redirection, no one App-V application is visible (Event shows that Applications are loaded), how can I fix it here?
    What are you using to manage user profiles?
    I use AD User and Computer configuration to manage profiles
    Does the application run if you browse to the EXE in Windows Explorer?
    What does this to do with app-v? Because when you sequence the app, then is it no more EXE.
    But, these EXE runs flawless in Windows Explorer (so there is no problem with the OS and the application).
    Please help?

  • We are not able to open ms-office 2013 two word simultaneously

    Hi Support,
    We are using MS-office 2013.We are not able to open the Two word document simultaneously at a time and sometimes it is showing pop in  word and not able to open the pop-up word document.
    Pls. share your ideas.
    Regards
    Pradeep.R

    Hi Charles,
    The way which i posted the question is not so clear.I want clarification in MS-Office word 2013.
    I have opened the fresh word 2013 and working on the word to prepare some documents.
    When i try to open the another saved word document it is overlapping one after another and the second word document showing blinking message and not able to open the second document.It is closing the second word document automatically.I can able to work
    with only one opened document and not able to open multiple word documents at a same time.
    The second question is How many word documents can be opened in a computer at a same time?Our work is based on word document only.  some of the users are opening the different word documents in the same computer minimum six or seven word documents 
    and working on the same.
    Suppose if we are opening and working with  multiple word & excel file at a same time whether it will affect the system slow?
    Looking forward for your reply at the earliest.
    Regards
    Pradeep.R
    Addressing number that can be open at once...
    This is a function of available RAM and hard drive space (although if you get into memory paging you really can slow down). It depends on the document size and also on processor speed. I have had 30 documents open at once. I often use Excel and Word at the
    same time. The more you have open, the slower your system will be, although it may not be noticed until you push the limits.
