Outlook 2010 with roaming profiles

Good day,
I have a user who uses Outlook 2010 and she wants to be able to use it on more than one computer. The problem is that when she goes to the new computer it asks her to set up her email account again (with the startup wizard).
Our users have roaming profiles, all the computers are part of a Windows Server 2008 domain, etc. The user has had the account set up for her on the computer she usally uses. The account is connecting to a Exchange Live 2010 server on the
Live@Edu service.
I know Outlook doesn't roam all the user's data but I would have thought with Exchange accounts that at least it would be possible to roam the user's Outlook settings because they don't rely on a locally stored PST file.

So are you saying the:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Setup
should be the same on all the computers, and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Setup
should be the Current user of each, so user 1 would be the same on all computer and user 2 would be would be the same on each but different than user 1
Right?
where would it grab the pst from..
please help

Problem sending mail with roaming profile (Outlook 2010)

Hello all,
I hope you will be able to help me.
Here's the problem I have with Outlook 2010:
When a user opens a roaming profile on another
PC or on his new
PC, everything works perfectly except
Outlook.
Outlook opens normally with all email
accounts, you can even see the email, no worries
about that.
But when we want to send an email, it
gets stuck in the outbox.
Some additional info:
     - In the account settings,
you can test the account settings, it says
that everything is working (sending and receiving)
     - The only way I found today to
operate the account is to
completely remove and reconfigure
     - There is an error message
that says I can not write on the file C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook\accountName.pst
     - The problem occurs with
all users, not just one in particular
     - The accounts are IMAP
     - Incoming emails work
Thank you for your help.

Hi Tim,
This is a known issue in Outlook, we don't recommend using IMAP account with roaming profile.

AppV 5 slow to refresh with roaming profile (no redirects) but fast with local profile

Hi,
I have an issue I can't get thought out. I have an AppV5 SP3 full infra, with SMB share and local caching of packages enabled. Everything works from a functional level. However I have an issue where users with a roaming profile get a very slow AppV refresh
during login.
I created a few testaccounts, a few with local profile and a few with roaming profiles. For these testusers there are NO folder redirects. The only difference between them is local profile or roaming profile.
When I login with a local-profile user initially, the AppV client rather slowly refreshes the applications and shortcuts. It generates quite some CPU load on the RDS host, but as soon as the shortcuts are placed everything is fine. When I log that user off,
and log in again, the shortcuts are there immediately and I can immediately start the applications (Office 2010 for example). Blazing fast. Also when logging in, the refresh-UI is there for about half a second, it really flashes and it's done.
Then with a testuser with roaming profile, the initial refresh is about the same. But when I logoff that user and login again, it's all very slow. The shortcuts are there but blank initially, it takes about 5-10 seconds to get the correct icon. It takes
much longer before the refresh actually starts (sometimes up to 30 seconds after login), and it takes 5-10 seconds to do the refresh, with 100% cpu load on the thread AppVclient.exe is running on. Also right after loging in when the shortcuts are blank they
don't work until they get the proper icon. WHen everything is refreshed it works all fine though. It's just painfully slow at start.
I don't understand this. I can reproduce this every single time. Without folder redirects I don't see the difference between roaming and local profile from AppV perspective, as the roaming profile is of course copied to the server and in that sense the server
just works with a local copy anyway.
Anyone encountered this, and how to troubleshoot, or better fix this?

So is the fact that there is a 5-10 second delay during refresh actually an issue? What I mean by that is - are any users comparing the local profiles with roaming profiles experience, or complaining that the delay is there?
Roaming profiles and Folder redirection are of course very simple to configure; however for the best user experience I recommend managing profiles with a real profile management solution.
If you have MDOP, then you'll also have access to UE-V. You've mentioned your environment is RDS, which sadly doesn't get UE-V, even though you have App-V.

When opening my Outlook 2010 with new added e-mail account with Exchange Server supplied by my employer, I have to click manually on my standard e-mail account for checking mail. Do I have to upgrade my Microsoft Office 2010 or how can I make my Outlook
2010 check all my four e-mail accounts without manually click on my accounts?

Hello Ketil,
Good Day...
Seems to be the Issue is Syncing emails, now I would recommend you to Remove and Add the Account and try and check if the emails are getting synced automatically.
Hope this is with Single User. If it is with Multiple Users then we need to check the permissions assigned.

Hi Gary,
I have seen this issue occur with users who have this registry setting missing or have improper permissions.
When you double click the attachment to launch the pdf it is saved and opened from the temporary folder unless saved specifically to a location.
If you dont have the below mentioned registry key or improper permissions then attachments fail to open.
Please heck if the following reg key exists:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
or
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
If the value exists, and if the value contains a valid path, Outlook 2010 uses that location for its temporary files.
If the registry value does not exist, or if the value points to an invalid location, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2003 creates a new subdirectory under the Temporary Internet Files directory and then puts the temporary file in the new subdirectory. The name of the new subdirectory is unknown and is randomly generated, depending on your version of Outlook.
Please check the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Security
Note the location for: OutlookSecureTempFolder key
Check if the same folder exists in the following location and if not create a corresponding folder in the location on C:\Users\<User account name>\Appdata\Local\Software\Microsoft\Windows\......

Multiple emails in outlook 2010 with pdf attachments will not print

Here is our issue
1. Select multiple emails in outlook 2010 with pdf attachments (versie 10.0.1)
2. Go to file -> Print
3. Select Print Options. Check the box for Print Attached Files
4. click Print The emails will print but only the first attachment will print.
After that we recieve the following error
There was an error opening this document. The selected file cannot be found.
We have tried turning off enhanced security mode but still get the same result

You can also extract these pdf attachments via email attachment extractor from here and then send the pdf file for printing. I think this will be easier for you to print them all.

ZCM 103 RC1: DLU with Roaming Profile on W2K3 doesnt work

No change from Beta2 to RC1:
- DLU-Policy assigned to a User-Source on XP-Clients works (with Roaming Profile Policy to a Netware Server)
Do need the same on a W2K3 (Terminalserver), but:
- DLU doesn't work if the policy is assigned to a User-Source
- DLU works only if assigned to the device AND if the Reg-Key "AllowPassiveModeLoginOnServers" is set.
BUT: in this case the user-source assigned policy for the Roaming Profile doesn't work!
How it will be work?
(Do need this while working on a project for introducing ZCM to a citrix-farm.)

I can't sync Outlook 2010 with iCloud.

I can't sync Outlook 2010 with iCloud. The iCloud Control Panel says to install Outlook even though I already have it. I am not given the option to to check the Mail, Contacts or Calendars boxes. How can I check the boxes so I can sync properly?...right now all my Calendar has duplicate items.

I believe you have right - the Add-in is the problem. Right now, my Outlook 2010 do NOT have the iCloud add-in. You mention something about downloading it - where can I find it ?? I have tested to uninstall and install again, nothing changes my syncing with Outlook 2010 after the initial setup has been done with iCloud.....

Is there an app that syncs Outlook 2010 with an iPhone 4S?

Is there an app that syncs Outlook 2010 with an iPhone 4S? iMExchange 2 worked with the old Outlook but not with the 2010.

The iPhone can be configured to sync directly to the Exchange server, no app needed.
Alternatively, via iTunes the device can be synced to Outlook.

Signing, encrypting in Outlook 2010 with two Exchange accounts in profile

Hi all!
I have two Exchange accounts aimed at two different servers in my profile. In Outlook 2011 for Mac this works as advertised, but in Outlook 2010 for Windows Outlook is never able to distinguish between the two certificates and e-mail addresses. It will always
use the last added certificate, regardless of auto select, default select or manual select.
I have two different named security settings in trust center, each with the correct certificate for the e-mail address. I have seen people do this with Outlook 2013 but I have failed with 2010.
In another thread here it is stated that the signing setting (and encryption setting) is profile specific. That is fine by me as I want to sign from both accounts, but from what I understand, if you have two named security settings Outlook should choose the
right one based on the e-mail address. That does not work...
Any ideas?
All the best,
Per

Hi,
If we have multiple accounts in a profile then it has to be manual process to add the certificate when sending emails. There is no automated way.
You can turn off e-mail address matching for certificates by editing your registry, try if this can help in this issue:

Delete Button Disabled in Outlook 2010 with Exchange 2013

I recently switched from a 3rd party mail software to Microsoft Exchange. I have had some users ask me why the Delete button is disabled. I didn't enable any special policy to cause this, and the Delete key on the keyboard will delete messages.
The disabled Delete button I am referring to is in the Home ribbon and the right-click menu for selected e-mail(s). Is this standard behavior for Exchange, and can it be changed?

It so happens that I have an XP VM with Outlook 2007. That having been said, as previously mentioned, before testing, I (thought I) could confirm the same consistent behavior in the following configurations:
WinXP + Outlook 2003
Win7 + Outlook 2010
Each of these systems was using a different user account, and I have tried folderview repairs in EMC to no avail.
Strangely, WinXP + Outlook 2007 does not appear to exhibit the behavior. In this test case, the profile and OST were just created, but switching to folderview or moving the reading pane to the bottom did not affect the behavior.
Given that information, I proceeded to re-verify, and I hadn't checked winXP + Outlook 2003 because the computer in question had been upgraded to Outlook 2010. However, I verified the issue does still exist there. Next, I proceeded to check another
computer that I thought would be WinXP + Outlook 2003, but it had also been upgraded to Outlook 2010. This computer did not have the issue, and this leads me to a new theory about the cause (but no closer to resolution). For the record, of the
three computers (two exhibiting the issue, one not), only one has the Adobe plugin mentioned in my last post in response to Diane Poremsky, so the issue doesn't appear to be related to that.
That said, my theory follows: This is somehow related to IMAP in Outlook 2010. The computers that exhibit the issue were all previously running IMAP in Outlook 2010, and the IMAP PST filse were imported using the MailboxImportRequest feature.
I suspect this is related because of other issues that happen for these accounts. For instance, all new e-mail was only visible in OWA and not Outlook on all folders on these accounts, and I have had to have the users reset filters in the view settings
for each folder individually. I don't remember exactly which filter was somehow imported, but it definitely had to do with IMAP. This may be another red herring, but the behavior is consistent with it. I should also note that this behavior
did NOT exist when they were connected via IMAP to the old (non MS) server. I should also note that the filter behavior is somehow stored on the server (and therefore I imagine the delete button behavior could be as well), because creating a new Windows
Profile (and as such, a new Outlook profile and OST file) on a new computer did not make the IMAP filters go away.

Update from Exchange 2013 Cu2 to SP1 - Outlook 2010 with SP2 clients disconnected

Hi,
we recently upgraded a standalone Exchange 2013 Server to SP1. Owa works fine, but all internal Outlook 2010 Clients (with SP2) get disconnected. Creating a new Profile, and testing the internal autodiscovery leeds to an Error 12030 (Connection reset) during
the discovery process.
I already checked the Service Point, the discovery URLs, even recreated the autodiscover virtual Directory in iis. But nothing changed.
The self signed certificate, that was used before the update is further used, and well known to all Clients. As I tested, OWA is working well everywhere.
Anyone some new ideas?
Best regards
Bernhard
