Problem with Assigning Policy button in Outlook 2010 and Exchange 2010

First of all, I'm posting here because I'm not sure how to post in the previous version of Exchange forums.
Secondly, I'm re-posting this from the Outlook forums as I'm not getting any responses there despite of views.
Hi,
I'm having an issue in Outlook 2010 where I can't assign personal policies to folders. I have setup personal tags and added the mailbox to the right policy. I have also ran Start-MangedFolderAssistant in Exchange 2010 Shell against the mailboxes.
When I go into OWA, everything shows up perfectly, I can right-click and assign policies at will, but when I open Outlook 2010 then the Assign Policy button never appears. I force added it to the ribbon and I can see from there that the button stays grayed
out irregardless of where I click in the folder structure. I have even assigned the mailbox user Owner rights to all the folders to see if it will  make a difference.
If anyone can help me solve this problem I will very grateful, I'm pulling my hair out here and I'm certain I could just be missing something very obvious somewhere,
It might be worth mentioning that the company has been using .prf files to configure Outlook thus far, I'm
looking to eliminate that. I'm not sure if that will have any effect on my current problem.
Thanks for your time.
Nico

Thanks for the reply Max, that's a pretty good link.
Like is I said though, I have the policies all set up in the Exchange configuration side of things, when I use OWA all the options for applying tags appear. It's just in Outlook 2010 Standard that the Assign Policy button stays grayed out.
Thanks.
EDIT:
This has been solved, looks like version problem with Outlook.

  • Problems with a shared calendar using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2010

    Hello all,
    We are having a problem with sharing a calendar using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2010.
    I will start with some background. I have just started my position with this company. I have been working with networks for awhile at the small business level. I have not had much production experience with exchange. There is only myself and my supervisor
    who has inherited a midsized network which was built by five previous techs that are no longer with the company. Of course, the previous techs did not leave much documentation, so the original hows and whys for our system setup has been lost.
    One of the managers has a calendar she shares with some of our users. I believe this calendar has been in use since sometime in 2006. A mailbox was created to hold this calendar to keep it separate from the managers calendar. I am not sure what version
    of exchange they were using at that time, but I assume there was one or two migrations of it getting to its current state on our exchange 2010 server. At some point it was observed that the other workers she was sharing with were not able to access it correctly.
    I am not fully sure what the original problem was (possibly some people not being able to see or connect to the calendar), but it was decided to give everyone who needed access to this calendar full access permissions through exchange. Correct me if I
    am wrong, but I believe that gave everyone connected the ability to do anything with the calendar. Of course the manager was not happy about that. This is where I started working on the problem.
    I removed everyone, except the manager who wants to control the calendar, from having "Full Access Permissions". This did have the effect of making some people just able to see the calendar and not make changes. Though there were others that were
    able to connect to the calendar who I thought would not be able to. The manager that originally created the calendar did try to manage access to it through the Outlook interface, though it currently does not seem to be fully in effect.
    So, to get to the point of what we are trying to do, is there a way to get the original manager back into control of the calendar though Outlook? It would be preferred to be able to keep the history of what they tracked of this calendar, so starting a new
    one would be something we would rather avoid. After that, getting all of the users that need to connect to the calendar reconnected with the correct access permissions and making sure they are all synchronized.
    I realize this is a big mess, and your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Nigel,
    How is the impact, just one user or all users, Outlook or OWA?
    If just one user, it seems like an issue on the Outlook Client side.
    Please trying to re-create new profile to fresh the caches.
    Please runing Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs, add-ins and firewall.

  • Problem with Essbase add-in 9.2.1 and office 2010.

    Hi all,
    we have a problem with Essbase add in 9.2.1 and office 2010.
    Every time when a user opens Excel a new (additionally) euntry in the ad-on menue appears.
    Indeed what happens is, that the add-in is loaded n-times.
    At the first start of excel one time, second two times and so on...
    Thtas's very annoying.
    Can someone confirm this issue or even better know a workaround.
    (A way we have found so far to ease the pain a bit -well only temporary- is to disable the ad-in, close Excel and start it again.
    However with every new start of execel the issues begins again.
    But that's not a solution you can recommand to the end user.)
    Any help is welcome.
    Thank you in advance!

  • Outlook 2010 and Exchange 2010 SP3

    Hello,
    we are planning to upgrade from Exchange 2010 sp1 to SP3, most of client PCs has Windows XP sp3 and Oultook 2010 with VSTO addins working with mapi properties.
    I need to know if there are any known issues between this client environment and Exchange 2010 SP3 ??
    thanks a lot,
    Mauricio.
    Mauricio

    Windows XP is not supported in any scenario, so yes, I'd call that a known issue.

  • Help needed with buggy Outlook 2013 and Exchange 2010 trashing profiles

    Hi All,
      I have a customer who has eschewed MOLP and buys all their Office OEM from Dell.  So as a result they are starting to have more and more office 2013 be deployed.  They have a SBS 2011 server with Exchange 2010 and it is patched to the latest
    rollups and service packs.  (SP3, RU2)  Their Outlook 2010 and earlier clients are just peachy on this.  But the Outlook 2013 clients are having problems.
      What is going on is that periodically I'll get a complaint from a user that their Outlook 2013 is randomly crashing.  In all cases the fix is going into the Outlook Profiles, creating a new profile, then setting the new profile as the default
    and going back into Outlook 2013 and letting it rebuild the cached data on the PC.  This seems to happen a few times a month with random users on the network.
      I told the customer it was probably people not logging out of Outlook 2013 at night and their machines being power spiked but I think that's highly unlikely since it doesen't happen to the Outlook 2010 clients.
      I don't know if any Microsoft developers read this but if you do, please take it back to your bug database.  Any other suggestions would be appreciated (other than scotch Outlook 2013 - while I'd appreciate that, my customer wouldn't)

    In all cases the fix is going into the Outlook Profiles, creating a new profile, then setting the new profile as the default and going back into Outlook 2013 and letting it rebuild the cached data on the PC. 
    The Outlook 2013 crash problem would be fix after you re-create a new profile and re-sync the data from Exchange, right?
    When we meet the same problem in next time, I suggest we run the Outlook Product Stability Diagnostic tool to isolate known causes of crashes in Outlook. The Outlook Product Stability Diagnostic also creates a diagnostic report outlining the data it collected
    and recommendations on possible steps you can take to reduce or eliminate Outlook stability issues.
    Please click the following link to run the Outlook Product Stability Diagnostic tool in the Microsoft Fix it Center Pro portal:

  • Problems with Authorization Policy, the USER has expired and the ISE is allowing access.

    Hi,
    My end customer reported an issue with ISE 1.1.4-218.
    The GUEST user is expired but still can authenticate in the WLAN.
    That's an known issue/bug?
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Rafael Eloi

    Check if the option in the configuration part of the Authentication process = CONTINUE.
    For example, when you use CWA, the IF AUTHENTICATION FAILED Option = CONTINUE so the MAB Auth always fails but based on that Option your connection continues so you are actually redirected using the AUTHORIZATION Policy.

  • Problem with java swing button and loop

    Problem with java swing button and loop
    I�m using VAJ 4.0. and I�m doing normal GUI application. I have next problem.
    I have in the same class two jswing buttons named start (ivjGStart) and stop (ivjGStop) and private static int field named Status where initial value is 0. This buttons should work something like this:
    When I click on start button it must do next:
    Start button must set disenabled and Stop button must set enabled and selected. Field status is set to 1, because this is a condition in next procedure in some loop. And then procedure named IzvajajNeprekinjeno() is invoked.
    And when I click on stop button it must do next:
    Start button must set enabled and selected and Stop button must set disenabled.
    Field status is set to 0.
    This works everything fine without loop �do .. while� inside the procedure IzvajajNeprekinjeno(). But when used this loop the start button all the time stay (like) pressed. And this means that a can�t stop my loop.
    There is java code, so you can get better picture:
    /** start button */
    public void gStart_ActionEvents() {
    try {
    ivjGStart.setEnabled(false);
    ivjGStop.setEnabled(true);
    ivjGStop.setSelected(true);
    getJTextPane1().setText("Program is running ...");
    Status = 1;
    } catch (Exception e) {}
    /** stop button */
    public void gStop_ActionEvents() {
    try {
    ivjGStart.setEnabled(true);
    ivjGStart.setSelected(true);
    ivjGStop.setEnabled(false);
    getJTextPane1().setText("Program is NOT running ...");
    Status = 0;
    } catch (Exception e) {
    /** procedure IzvajajNeprekinjeno() */
    public void IzvajajNeprekinjeno() {  //RunLoop
    try {
    int zamik = 2000; //delay
    do {
    Thread.sleep(zamik);
    PreberiDat(); //procedure
    } while (Status == 1);
    } catch (Exception e) {
    So, I'm asking what I have to do, that start button will not all the time stay pressed? Or some other aspect of solving this problem.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Tomi

    This is a multi thread problem. When you start the gui, it is running in one thread. Lets call that GUI_Thread so we know what we are talking about.
    Since java is task-based this will happen if you do like this:
    1. Button "Start" is pressed. Thread running: GUI_Thread
    2. Event gStart_ActionEvents() called. Thread running: GUI_Thread
    3. Method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() called. Thread running: GUI_Thread
    4. Sleep in method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() on thread GUI_Thread
    5. Call PreberiDat(). Thread running: GUI_Thread
    6. Check status. If == 1, go tho 4. Thread running: GUI_Thread.
    Since the method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() (what does that mean?) and the GUI is running in the same thread and the event that the Start button has thrown isn't done yet, the program will go on in the IzvajajNeprekinjeno() method forever and never let you press the Stop-button.
    What you have to do is do put either the GUI in a thread of its own or start a new thread that will do the task of the IzvajajNeprekinjeno() method.

    Hi,
    If you are on ECC 5.0 or above, you can use the Extended Notif. for achieving this.
    How are you getting the Outlook mail ?. If you already have Extn.Notif, then do the following :
    1. In Transaction SWNCONFIG,for your Scenario and Category,
    in the Subscription Basis Data -->Subscription Settings,
    Set the parameter SHOW_ACTION_DECISION_AS as "LINK"
    This will give you the options of your user decision as LInks in Outlook mail.
    There is lot of material in this forum for Extended Notif. if you search.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem with Assign reference document.

    Hi all,
    I defined transaction input parameter type Xml.
    I used Reference Document Loader to load document (structure.xml) below.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <SO_VALIDATION>
        <L4_SO_ID/>
        <L4_SOI_NO/>
        <PPC_STATUS/>
        <PPC_INFO/>
    </SO_VALIDATION>
    I used menu command Assign Reference Document, to assign above document to transaction input.
    I tryed to use this transaction in vs.net application as a web service.
    But there is no xml structure in InputParams in web service.
    I tryed alot but i did not achieve.
    What must i do?
    Thanks.

    cml_bzl,
    I'm using version 12.04 and I have not had any problems with assigning reference documents and using .NET.
    You should not have to do anyting special to get the transaction inputs to show up in .Net. To map the output I do the following:
    1. Create an output transaction variable and assign it's type as XML
    2. Using a XML document block to create and XML document for your output transaction variable
    3. Assign the XML document as the reference for the output transaction variable.
    THis works for me every time. If you change the transaction parameters, make sure you update the web service form the .NET side.

  • Is anyone having a problem with the home button on a 6?

    when I first got my iPhone 6, the home button was just like my other iPhones have been, my iPad, my sons iPhone 6, etc. when you pushed it, you can feel it move and you feel a little dull clck. Now the the home button on my iPhone 6 has no movement or click. It still functions, but I'm worried it is on its way to failing and if I wait to address the issue until it completely fails, then it will be out of warranty. Has anyone else experienced any problems with the home button?

    If you believe that your device has a defect or malfunction, contact Apple now.  This forum is not for taking polls.  Contact Apple for support options.

  • Problem with Assigning more than one value to GROUP dynamically

    Hi,
    I have a problem with assigning more than one value to GROUP varible dynamically.
    I am able to assign only one value dynamically through Initialization block
    I have even tried with the ROW-WISE initialization blocks..
    using this query..
    SELECT 'GROUP', G.GROUP_NAME
    FROM GROUP_MAP G
    WHERE G.USER_NAME = ':USER'
    if GROUP_1, GROUP_2 are two groups to be associated,
    through this, i'm getting " GROUP_1;GROUP_2 " into GROUP variable ( seen from Narative view )
    And the properties and securities of this Groups are not inherited.
    Please let me know if there is any other way to Populate the GROUP variable dynamically with more than one value.
    Thank you.,

    Hi,
    i finally got in this way..
    i had created a function which takes USER_NAME as input and returns a string that contains the GROUP names with semicolon delimeted..
    Though it is same as that of ROW-WISE initialization,
    the properties of those groups are also being inherited..
    Now, i can assign more than one groups and its properties to a user dynamically.

  • Hi, i am using iphone4s.. 2 days ago i had a problem with wifi.. button greyed out, it was suggested to keep phone in freezer, worked temporarily and i updeted to ios7.1 but still facing same problem.. wht to do? cant afford to throw off :/ huhh..

    well, you know how it is - glitches that usually resolve with a hard reset etc
    then a restore. then a factory restore....then ..... nothing fixes so I try the next step with apple online - fill out my serial number and find it is a couple of weeks out of date - and then with the holidays who has time to get to the apple store? this is my second 4s handset as it is - first one the glass cracked from L to R without any impact/damage etc - they changed it out automatically because it's a 'known fault' apparently - so technically, this handset is only 6 months old - but warranty is from original purchase date -
    never imagined it would turn out to be a warranty issue with the phone - and hey maybe when I get a chance to go to the apple store they'll be sympathetic, but I won't be able to get there till at least Jan 4th as it is. On the other hand, another iOS update might resolve the issue - but how long till that release? at the moment I'm having to use my old 3gs for wifi and 4s for phone!!!
