Outlook 2010 Recurring meeting and notifications

I am trying to get a better explanation on how Outlook 2010 works with recurring meetings.
We have seen some crazy behavior and it may be by design.
If a user schedules a recurring meeting and invites 10 people to the meeting. They all get on invite sent from the users account. You will see one invite sent out.
If the organizer modifies a meeting in the series, everyone in the series will get a notification that the meeting was modified and you will see a separate email sent out to each recipient.
If the organizer continues to modify individual meetings in the series, users will continue to get separate invites and you will see separate invites sent in the organizers sent items.
Now if the organizers goes and modifies the series by changing anything, a separate update will be sent to all recipients for every meeting in the series that was modified and one for the meeting occurrence itself.
Am I correct?
Thanks
Paul.

Hi,
When the meeting is created, the organizer should be sending one
invite out, this is correct.
But each update should also be one including all attendees instead of ten to each single one.
You may try sending an update on OWA, will the update be one to all or ten to every single one?
If this issue only happens in Outlook Client, not on OWA, please run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if it's 3rd-party add-ins related, if some add-ins control this, the updates may not be handled as it should.
We can also create a new profile to setup the account, check if this issue persists:

Outlook 2010 - Recurring Meeting Change Notifications

An organizer created a recurring meeting with two people.
The organizer modified the start and end time for one of the occurrences. Both attendee's accepted the change to the occurrence.
But, the organizer received three accepted notifications. Two from person A, and one from person B. The organizer received acceptance notifications from both person A and B. But, the organizer also received a recurrence series accepted
notification from person A.
Is this normal? Or a bug?
The legal assistant is worried that there is something wrong with the COO's calendar.
Organizer has Editor permissions to person A but person B.
Versions:
Windows 7 64 bit SP1, Outlook 2010 SP2 and Exchange 2010 SP3 RU6
Thanks
Ron

Hi,
Does this happen to any events that Person A involved, or just for this specific meeting?
My first thought is about the third party interaction. Please check whether the
person A in your case syncs his Outlook calendar with any other devices, like iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry... When he/she syncs Outlook calendar on the other devices, it will automatically send acceptance notification to the organizer of the event again.
There are some other possible reasons which might also cause the issue. You might also need to check below aspects:
Check your delegate/manage scenarios.
Cached Exchange Mode, try in online mode and see if issue persists.
Disable anti-virus scanner program and verify result.
Hope this helps.

Archiving options for Outlook 2010/2013 Home and Business?

Hi all,
Forgive me if this is covered already (I am sure it would be somewhere but I could not find a definitive answer). We are looking at migrating from Google Apps to Exchange and I am trying to cost it all up and have a question in relation to archiving.
Our 450 users are not akin to archiving, given their gmail limits, they are just used to keeping everything, however with exchange that will have to change as we are going to host it locally.
The question I have is what archiving options are available to me given that all our office installations are Home and Business 2010/2013? I have read the compatibility matrix which says outlook in this product does not support in-place archiving.
To test this I created an in-place archive for my account (outlook 2010 H&B) and when I re-open outlook I get my archive mailbox showing up.
I have not yet tested the mailbox retention policies and such like but I thought I would just ask as to what options would be available to me given this situation?
Given that my archive is now showing in outlook, what has caused that to happen? I would have thought that if it was not supported that it would not have shown up at all? Can someone explain what functionality will not work and what will?
If we have to buy new copies of outlook for all our clients it just adds to the cost that I suspect will kill the move and management will say that we can stay on gmail.
Thanks for any direction you may have.

I understand that it is not supported, I was just commenting that It appeared to work in the tests that I had done and I was curious as to why
Aaron would you mind to share your findings on this if any! We are in the same situation as you were.
I have activated Online Archiving (on-premises) feature for 3 accounts on our Exchange 2010 and set them up with Retention Policy which Move to archive items aged more than 6 months and all works fine and old Items automatically being moved to Online Archive
mailbox which just appeared after enabling this on server for above 3 accounts.
The server is Exchange 2010 and clients are Outlook H&B 2013 which comes with DELL systems.
We already purchased Enterprise Licenses as well and have access to Microsoft Download pages to get Outlook 2013.
But since above is working just fine, we really would like to know, if we don't install Outlook 2013 and activate it with that license what in fact we are missing in terms of functionalities regarding Online Archiving!
Really looking forward to hear back from you or anybody who can clear the confusion.
Thanks for assistance!

Outlook 2010/iCloud meeting invites

I have iCloud CP installed on Windows 7 with outlook 2010. When someone sends a meeting invite, it does not show up in the inbox. The meeting shows in the calendar but not in the inbox. This only happens on windows machines with iCloud installed.

We figured this one out. It was because he was using his work email as his Apple ID. We switched which email address was linked to his iCloud account and it started working.

Outlook 2010 apostrophe, single and double quotes are changes to question mark while sending mails to other internet receipient.

We are using MS Outlook 2010 as our mail client. But we have noticed that whenevr we sent a mail to any other internet mail recipient all the "apostrophe", "single" and "double quotes" have automatically converted to ?. We have
done almost all the workaround found in this site such as
1.New a message and focus on the message window > click File > Options > Mail > Spelling and Autocorrect… > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options… > AutoFormat > clear the box before “Straight quotes” with “smart quotes”
2. Used different encoding. We presently using US-ASCII for outgoing message. etc.
Need your help to sort out these issues urgently.
Waiting for a solution.

Hi,
What is your account type? IMAP, POP or Exchange?
Send an email from the webmail, ask the recipient if this issue persists.
As far as I know, this problem is always related to the encoding for outgoing messages, and here I suggest you try UTF-8:
Go to File -> Options -> Advanced -> International options -> Uncheck "Automatically select encoding for outgoing messages", then select "Unicode (UTF-8)" beside "Preferred encoding for outgoing messages" -> OK.
Hope this helps.

Help with Outlook 2010 sync calanders and contacts by iCloud! please help!

I've got an quesstion:
I got Microsoft office 2010 x86 on my windows 7 PC.
With the iCloud program V 1.0.1
I checked all boxes : mail, contacts, calanders/ tasks, bookmarks, photo stream
Now the question is..
When i open my outlook, i can see my mail from my icloud account..
But is there a possible way, that icloud sync my outlook 2010 with the contacts and calenders to?
Because all i can see is my mail, my calander and contacts are empty?
Isnt that what iCloud stand for, auto sync?
Or is the only way to put contacts by checking in iTunes the contacs and calanders??
So its not possible that icloud sync auto, like it sync from iphone 4s to ipad, to icloud.com...
So what i try to say is if you add contact on your iphone 4s whereever you are.. that it auto sync with oudlook 2010 like it does on icloud.com and my ipad 2
same idea as photostream..
Please help me.. if there is a solution how to fix this!

Outlook 2010 Technical Preview and Blackberry Desktop Manager

Hi There, This is my first post in this forum, requesting you to kindly help as I am really stuck. Coming back to the issue, I have recently installed the MS Office 2010 Technical Preview and am very much enjoying the same. However, I failed to make my Blackberry Desktop Manager 5 work with it, so am unable to sync my BB now Please help. Regards,

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Because you're using software that is not yet official, its in your own hands. I'm pretty sure that the Desktop Manager software is not yet compatible with Office 2010 as it's not yet an official release. Unfortunately this is the catch with using beta software or technical previews. Software developers must rewrite their software to ensure it is compatible with that software and because there can often be changes between the beta or technical preview and the final version, many software developers prefer to wait until the official version is out before releasing their own fully compatible program.
At this point, you have two options as I see it:
Downgrade from the Office 2010 Technical Preview to a compatible version of Microsoft Office.
Don't sync with Microsoft Outlook until a compatibleupgrade of Desktop Manager is released.

Outlook 2010 "forgets" Encryption and Digital Signature preferences

We have several users in our enterprise environment who's Encryption and Signature preferences are not being retained in Outlook. They, seemingly randomly, lose the selected Sign and Encrypt all mail options throughout the day. We are using smart card certificates,
Outlook 2010 and Exchange 2010...
Has anyone seen this or do you have suggestions on what to look at?

Hi,
How did you use the smart card in your environment? Did you use a reader that is attached to your computer or it is inserted to the USB interface of your computer?
Does those users who have the problem use the smart card in a different behavior comparing to those don’t have the problem?
We should keep the smart card inserted when you want to digitally sign or encrypt your messages. When the smart card is removed, the certificate is no longer available.
If I’ve misunderstood something, please feel free to let me know.

Outlook 2010 Office 365 and Exchange -- can't get them to talk to each other

I saw similar question posted with no answer.
Have Office Outlook 2010 on HP Pavillion dv7 running Windows 7 Premium and Office 365 on HP Envy x 2 running Windows 8 and can't get either of the Outlook programs to talk to Exchange. They both ask for passwords and none of the ones I try seem to
work. Yet the email program that came with the HP Envy x2 (part of Windows 8?) manages my Exchange emails as well as my gmail and bellsouth.net accounts.
If for some reason I can't link Exchange to more than one version of Outlook (I'd like to connect to both), suggestions for connecting Exchange to Outlook 365 would be welcome.
Suggestions?

Make sure you have installed the latest SP for Office 2010 and all the other updates. It also requires the PRO PLUS version of Office for all features to work as expected, if you are using Standard or Home this might be the problem. Check here for more info:

Entering events in Outlook (2010/2007) calendar and syncing with iCloud

Setup: H/W and S/W: 1) Personal PC with Windows 7, Outlook 2010, 2) Work PC with Windows 7, Outlook 2007, 3) iPhone 5
Created unique iCloud user ID (different from Apple ID) to permit use of individual calendar and contacts across all platforms without co-mingling of data (contacts etc.) with rest of family (who is under same Apple ID). Works well.
Installed iCloud on both PCs, enabled iCloud on iPhone, all using new unique iCloud ID
My secretary creates events (as organizer) for me (as invitee) in her local Outlook calendar (on her PC) which appear on my work PC Oultook calendar. These events also appear in my iCloud calendar on my work PC. Good! (FYI, She uses her local Outlook calendar so she can invite others from work who are on same email system.)
Issue: As said before, events created by secretary appear in my local Outlook calendar and my iCloud calendar on my work PC but not on my iCloud calendar on my personal PC at home. Events created in iCloud on work PC do appear on personal PC, just not events created on local Outlook calendar at work. Seems, if these events appear in iCloud in one place, they choudl appear in iCloud in all places...yes? the cloud is the cloud is the cloud...is it not?
Am I missing a step? I have refreshed iCloud in all.

Hi IzzyKuhl,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!

How to sync outlook 2010 with ovi and n900

I'm not able to put my outlook contacts in ovi and therefor can't put them on my phone.. I have over 350 contacts so I can't just use sim-contacts. also the import contacts from other phone (my htc desire z) does not work.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

yeah it worked, but then all of a sudden they where gone... not important because they are on my phone now... problem is, when I get a text message I see mostly the numbers, not the name.
what do you mean? they are gone from your outlook?
if so, that would be really odd, unless you first synced, then deleted them on your phone then synced again.
i would make a copy of your pst file just in case....
as for the n900, even after you sync contacts to it, your are only seeing the phone number, and not the contact name?
usually that only happens if you have two contacts sharing the same number. is it possible that you have that happening?

Outlook 2010 Calendar meeting appointment organizer issue

We are experiencing this major issue in our environment.
User creates a meeting appointment with multiple recipients (internal and external), when meeting accepted by multiple users; calender item's organizer field changes to only the organizer. Hence, user unable to add/remove any recipients in the "TO"
field although user is the organizer. Everything is grey-out. User can only see the recipients in the Scheduling Assistance but unable to edit anything.
Has anyone experienced this issue? any fixes?

Hi,
I still have some questions about this issue:
1. "calender item's organizer field changes to only the organizer" Isn't this expected?
2. It seems the organizer doesn't have the permission to edit the meeting and the attendees, could you please confirm whether the organizer invited any distribution group which the organizer himself is a member of?
Please provide some screenshots about this issue too, like the "grey-out", this will help me understand the issue more clearly.

Syncing outlook 2010 on pc and IPhone 4

Can anyone help.
IWhen my pc is switched on i receive emails in outlook but not on iphone.
Also when pc is off i receive emails on iphone but only some on outlook when i switch pc on.
Is this a syncing problem?

Sounds like you have a POP account. Unfortunately that's one of the limitations of a POP account, as it is designed to access mail on only one device. POP is the oldest mail protocol, written in a time when folks only had one computer. POP does not play well in a world where we have multiple devices. Your only solution is to see if your provider offers mail setup as IMAP.

Is there any way to use microsoft outlook 2010 on ipad? Or is there apple app or program that will copy over all of the existing structure, folders, etc... and sync?

I recently received a gift of a new ipad. Unfortunately I can't really switch from my Windows lap top until I figure out a way to use the ipad for my business emails which I use Outlook 2010 for. There are a singnificant amount of folders and history, with various attachments, that I have to have access to and I have been unable to find a way to move all of this over to the ipad. I use Yahoo mail for my primary mail server and can get the Yahoo mail on the ipad with no problem. But I do not have the full folder structure set up on Yahoo that I have on Outlook 2010 and to do so would be very time consuming...and I'm note even sure how I could move all the folders back to Yahoo and all the emails contained in them, many of which have been long deleted form Yahoo, back to Yahoo. Ideally I would just install Outlook 2010 on ipad and export all the files over. But there doesn't seem to be any Outlook 2010 program for ipad...if there is, please tell me about it. Otherwise, I need a relatively quick alternative that will not force me to recreate my entire Outlook 2010 folder structure and copy emails over folder by folder. If anyone has had the same issues, and was able to solve them, I would very much appreciate knowing how to do this. I like the ipad and want to use it for my main platform. Thanks

Microsoft will launch Office for iOS next year, so you have to wait, Instead of Outlook, use Mail on the iPad
