Outlook 2010 Slow Access to Shared Calendar

We have a small 100 user domain running Exchange server 2010 and outlook 2010 clients. When an admin
opens a shared calender from within Outlook 2010 it often takes 30 seconds or more to display the calender.. When using OWA the calendar display almost instantly so it's not a server issue. We have a gigabit network and NO heavy mail or network users
so it appears to be an Outlook client issue.
I have done some research and it appears this was not a problem with prior versions of Outlook client as many other reported this issue after upgrading from prior versions of Exchange-Outlook.
Anyone seen this issue and know if MS fixed it?

Hi,
Does this issue happen to all shared calendars? If this issue only happen to a certain shared calendar, we may try to delete some unwanted items in the shared calendar and then try opening it again to see the result.
In addition, are you using Outlook with Cached Exchange mode enabled? Do you have the "Download Shared Folders" options enabled? If not, please enable the option and then test the issue again. To enable the option, please go to File > Account
Settings > Account Settings, double click your Exchange account to open the Change Account wizard. Then, click More Settings, switch to Advanced tab and make sure the "Download Shared Folders" option is enabled.
Please let me know the result.

Does anyone here access a shared calendar with their Blackberry???

I work for a very large company and I don't use my personal calendar. I use a calendar on a shared mailbox where several people enter appointments I need to attend. So far I have not been able to get a hold of anyone in our IT department who knows if it is possible to have my Blackberry synchronize with the shared calendar instead of my personal calendar. Surely other people must access a shared calendar with their BB. Doesn't seem like such an unusual thing to need to do. On my laptop I have access to both my personal and the shared calendar in Outlook. We run an Exchange Server and that is about the extent of info I have.

If she has been syncing her phone with iTunes she could restore her phone to her last backup. This will revert the settings and data on her phone to those contained in the backup (losing more recent information). You should probably unshare your iCloud calendar with her before beginning to avoid the possiblility of her restored calendar replacing yours. Then, before connecting her phone, open iTunes on the computer she syncs with, go to Preferences and on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Next, connect her phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on it and select Restore from Backup, taking care to choose her backup to restore from and not yours. If this restores her calendar she should give it a unique name before trying to share your iCloud calenadar again.
If she syncs her calendar with a supported application on her computer (such as Outlook) another option would be to replace her iPhone calendar with the calendar on her computer by checking to do so on the Info tab of her iTunes sync settings (under Advanced>Replace information on this iPhone>check Calendars), apply and sync.

Outlook 2010 no longer displays the calendar and my contacts.

After installing icloud, my Outlook 2010 no longer displays the calendar and my contacts, except in the icloud calendar and contacts listing. How do I restore Outlook calendar and contacts?

Thanks Julian for the suggestion. Unfortunately all still checked out and nothing amiss. However, after reinstalling OS 10.6.8 it appears that my calendar items are syncing once again, but not my contacts. I appreciate the suggestion none the less.
This same thing seems to happen each time I've upgraded Office with the associated version of Entourage, and now Outlook. Ah, well..nothing's ever simple. But I am thoroughly enjoying Outlook and the rest of the Office suite.

Outlook 2010/13 Laptop Calendar access extremely slow after opening shared calendar

I have a problem with several laptops running Win 7 Ultimate on a network running SBS 2008 (Exch 2007) when they are on the internal network. Outlook response is fine until they tick any shared calendar (either shared by the user or with full access
to the mailbox granted at the server level)- the response of the calendar screen for the
local users calendar or the shared calendar
when using the advance or retreat arrows on the weeks drops down to roughly 20 seconds to advance to the next week, if the shared calendar is then unticked the speed stays slow for accessing the local calendar. if the user exits outlook and restarts
it the speed for accessing their own calendar returns to normal until they open another shared calendar.
this is a problem that has started within the last couple of months. SP are up to date on the windows and office.
I have tried ticking the download shared folders on and off, and also switching to using HTTP instead of TCPIP through the outlook anywhere. they run in cached mode as they are laptops- uncached is not an option
network access is fine
The problem affects some users on the network but not others. the problem shows on office 2010 and 2013. they don't appear to have the problem when they are out of the office.
Any thoughts anyone?

If you run your profile in Exchange cache mode and enable "Download share folders", please try to run SCANPST file to fix the OST/PST file and check the result.

By the way, does it for all shared calendr when you go to access them?

Outlook 2010 not display public folder/calendar

We have a calendar in a public folder which is no longer visible when navigating through the public folder list. User which have previously opened this calendar and added to my favorites are still accessing the calendar without issue. But no one else can
open the calendar. I've tried to manually enter the path in the open shared calendar dialog and not found. How can users be accessing the calendar from an old favorite but the calendar not be visible any longer? Everyone is using Outlook 2010.

Hi,
From the description, the calendar is no longer available (been deleted or something else) in the public folder. Logically, it's not possible to access the calendar.
For these users who still have access to the calendar, I'd like to confirm if they cached the public folder to local by enabling "Download Public Folder Favorites" under Account Settings. In this case, the users may access the calendar in the cached
Public Folder Favorites. To check if these users have the "Download Public Folder Favorites" enabled, please follow:
1. Click File > Account Settings > Account Settings.
2. Highlight the Exchange Account and click Change button.
3. Click More Settings button and switch to Advanced tab.
4. Check if the "Download Public Folder Favorites" option is enabled.
We can try unchecking the option to verify if this issue is due to the Public Folder Favorites cache.

Message recall outlook 2010 greyed out for shared mailboxes

Hello,
Can anyone advise if it's possible to recall a message sent from a shared mailbox? The user has full access permissions to the shared mailbox but the 'recall this message' option is greyed out.
We have installed the hotfix below but it says the update is already installed on the system?

This is using Windows 8, Outlook 2010 32bit and Exchange 2007 SP3.

HT204150 Does iCloud make my Outlook 2010 slow?

Afer I fix iCloud to my PC, my Outlook get slow down. Once I open Outlook, it freeze for a while before I can send or receivee mail.Why?How can I fix it?
My PC current with Win7, the Outlook 2010 is one component of Office 2010 Stardard.
During my my Outlook 2010 freezing, it seemd to upload or synchro something. I am wondering why your iCloud alwalse need to synchro something everytime while openning the Outlook 2010.

I've been researching something similar.
In essence there is no "sync" at all. Outlook is configured to show its own default calendar, a representation of the iCloud calendar and an initial merge conflicts calendar.
If you put an entry into the Green calendar from Outlook you are changing the iCloud calendar in the cloud and the changes are propagated to iOS devices etc etc linked to the same iCloud account.
The blue (local outlook) calendar only shows up 'cos it's checked in My Calendars to the left.
Nothing you do in iCloud affects the Outlook default blue calendar, but changes made to the iCloud green calendar via Outlook work as you would expect.
So think of "parallel display of Outlook and Cloud calendar" rather than "synchronisation"

Outlook 2010 hangs when opening older calendar items

Hi,I have a really odd issue.One user has a bit of a vague issue - where Outlook 2010 (32 bit, on Windows 7 64) freezes up (not responding) when user is trying to open a calendar item he has created himself in a group calendar also created by himself.So, a quick google search finds, besides a lot of advertised non working items, in general tips like "check mailbox size" (User is at 70% of allowed size, where allowed size is a mailbox of 1GB)Or, run outlook in safe mode to see if any add in or plug in causes this. Sadly - in safe mode exactly the same happens - Outlook stops responding.No other user has the same "owner" rights on this calendar, so it`s hard to reproduce.And now for the really odd one - any item listed before June 1st (2015) causes the issue. Any item from June 1 and onwards opens as it should.I have difficulties wading...
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Hi JW_IC,
Does this issue occur OWA?
If OWA not hangs, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
I found that you have done all operations on the Outlook client side and still not worked.
How about following the error message, "To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel",
to check the problem in the Action Center control panel. Please paste the details without sensitive information for the further troubleshooting.
I suggest updating Outlook 2010 to the latest version for test.

Outlook 2013 crashes when collapsing shared calendar

The following issues occurs when viewing shared calendars with Outlook 2013. It occurs on multiple workstations and with multiple users.
When collapsing a shared calendar by clicking the arrow to the left of the calendar name, if one or more users of the shared calendar are selected (i.e. the box next to their name is checked), the Outlook screen will appear to refresh the screen repeatedly
whilst the cursor flashes rapidly. Outlook then crashes and has to be re-started.
The work-around is to de-select any selected users of the shared calendar before collapsing it, but we cannot reasonably expect users to remember this.
Is there a fix for this issue? Others have had the same issue (see http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/419634-outlook-2013-stops-responding-when-trying-to-collapse-a-group-of-calendars).
Running outlook in safe mode makes no difference.
Thanks

Exchange Outlook 2013 freezes when deleting shared calendar for employees who have been removed

Hi,
I am removing users' shared calendars from my outlook 2013 in exchange environment. The problem is, that the shared calendars belong to users who have left the company and have been removed from the domain, this is causing outlook to freeze because i think
it's trying to find the entry then delete it, rather than delete it.
There is no problem deleting a shared calendar for an user who still is in the domain. This seems to be strictly affecting users who have left the domain.

Hi,
Generally, if the shared calendar owner is removed from the Exchange environment, the shared calendar which was added before should be removed from Outlook client normally.
Please use Outlook with Exchange cached mode, and make sure the shared calendar was not added in Advanced tab in Account Settings. Please start Outlook in safe mode and remove the shared calendar to have a try.
If the issue doesn’t happen in safe mode, please disable the third-party add-ins one by one to find out the cause.

Hi gptsbiz,
According to your description, I want to double confirm some points, please help to collect answers for following questions:
1. All account or some special account experience this issue?
2. What methods is used for outlook connection, IMAP or Outlook Anywhere?
3. How about the OWA?
Please make sure that the services related to Microsoft Exchange are running properly, especially the Microsoft Exchange Address Book and Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access service.
Additional, please try to use Test-OutlookConnectivity and Test-OutlookWebServices to test end-to-end Microsoft Outlook client connectivity, availability service and etc. More details for this command, please refer to:

Outlook 2010 Delegate Access Not enable

In outlook 2010, when i only have the single account, the delegate Access Function is fine.
When i add more thank one account, the delegate access is gray out.
are there have any solution?

Hi Daney,
I have tested on my lab (Exchange 2010 + Outlook 2010), result as below:
User: Mavis01, Mavis02, Mavis03.
Permission: Mavis01 has Full Access permission for Mavis02's mailbox.
Action:
1. Create a profile for Mavis01's mailbox, then add Full Access permission for Mavis02's mailbox.
2. Restart Outlook, I can see Mavis02's mailbox shows up under Mavis01.
3. Then I add Mavis03 account into this profile, restart Outlook.
4. Mavis01, Mavis02, Mavis03 are all listed in Outlook, and nothing gray.
"Delegate Access" gray out seems that it is a permission issue, however the delegate function works well if doesn't add account into one profile.
I suggest run Outlook under safe mode or re-create profile for testing.
Thanks

Exchange 2003 + Outlook 2010 hangs if deleted shared mailbox exists into profile

Environment - Exchange 2003 + Outlook 2010 published via Citrix
We recently did the cleanup of shared mailboxes which are no longer needed. However post our activity we found that many users are reporting that their Outlook is hanging for a long time during startup and it continues while working on outlook. Upon investigation
we found that their Outlook profile was having 1 or 2 shared mailboxes listed which were deleted from organization. As soon these shared mailboxes were removed from profile the Outlook started working fine.
Is this know issue of Outlook and if any hotfix available for same, I have already checked the 'download shared folder' option which isn't selected.

Hi,
Maybe the issue is related to the default behavior in Outlook.
How about try the following:
