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.

Syncing calendars using Outlook 2007 from iCal Server

Hi,
I would like to know the procedure to sync calendars using Outlook 2007 from iCal Server.
I'm setting up Internet Calendar on Outlook 2007 from == Tools> Account Settings> Internet Calendars>New> Enter the URL and click on add button
Post that, I'm getting an error:
"Error: Cannot verify or add the Internet Calendar in Outlook. Verify the link is a valid calendar link:
webcal://fully qualified domain name:8443/calendars/_uids_/Generated UID/Calendar"
Looking forward some response soon.
Thanks!!

Hi!
That is never going to work if you are looking for 2-way sync with iCal server. You need a 3rd party application to do that, like ical4ol or the open source Outlook sync plugin available here: http://caldav.calconnect.org/implementations/clients.html.
Or alternatively, use another mail client like eMClient for mail and calendaring.

Source of Multiple Calendars in Outlook 2007 and iCloud (iOS7.0.4)

Source of Multiple Calendars in Outlook 2007 and iCloud (iOS7.0.4)
My iPhones (2) and iPad list the following color-coded calendar names when the word "Calendar" is pressed at the bottom of the calendar screen: All iCloud (no colored dot), Calendar (Blue Dot), Home (orange Dot), Saved emails (red dot), and Saved emails (2)( green dot).
Calendar items created on both iPhones are coded with a blue dot and appear on a blue background in iCloud and on the phones. Calendar items created on my iPad appear on a green background (saved emails 2) on my iPad and my iphones. Why isn't the color "Blue"? It appears that entries made on Outlook appear in Saved Emails (red).
I have not imported or connected with any external calendars.
This behavior raises the following questions:
1) Should entries created on each device appear in a different color?
2) Does the color associated with an entry designate a specific device or a specific type of device?
3) Which device is the "Home" device referred to in paragraph 1 above?
4) Why would a Calendar be named with a reference to "saved emails"? From where would it come.
My understanding about synching with iCloud was that any entry from any iDevice (phone or pad) or iCloud would appear in both iCloud and in the calendars of all devices on the same Apple Account. Please confirm my understanding or correct it.
With iCloud as the hub, must I still utilize Microsoft Outlook? I am retired and no longer need Outlook for work.
Can I edit any calendar entry in I cloud had have it change it in all the devices, or must it be edited in the device in which the entry was originally made?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would ditch Outlook like a bad habit.
Now to answer your questions starting at the bottom. yes, you can edit any and all iCloud Calendars on iCloud.com. You can rename your calendars, re-color them, create, edit or delete events, etc.
So you asked a question on why your calendars are named 'saved emails'. This sounds like something that would be created from Outlook since you can send email to the calendar in Outlook. If you quit using outlook, you can simply rename the calendars to something more sensible or delete them entirely.
About calendar colors. Each calendar you (or your mail program on your behalf) has created gets assigned a name and color. Each color helps your identify which calendar and event belongs to. When you create a new event from your iOS device or iCloud.com, you will find a handy little section that says 'calendar' where you can specify to which calendar (or color) you want that event to be on. You will also find this option when tapping and editing and event on the iOS devices or icloud.com. If you want all of your devices to default to the same calendar when creating a new event, on your iOS devices go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Scroll to the section that says 'Calendar' in gray (its at the very bottom) and change the 'default calendar' to whatever you want the defualt to be. You can also change the default in iCloud.com by clicking the gear icon.
My recommendation: 1) Ditch Outlook. Go to your Control Panel > iCloud and uncheck Outlook. 2) Move all of your events to one or two calendars. if you don't have a need for multiple calendars, just simplify your life and move them all to one calendar. You can edit the event and change the calendar, then go back and delete the other calendars that are confusing you with all the different colors. You can rename, recolor, create and delete calendars form your iOS device by tapping calendar in the bottom of the screen when in the calendars app then tap edit in the top left. You can also do these same things on iCloud.com Where ever is easiest for you will work.

Problems with a VBA Userform using Multipage (2) and DTPicker.

Hi
Problems with a VBA Userform using Multipage (2) and DTPicker (4)
On Page1 I've got 2 DTPicker, one for the date and the second for the time.
Same thing on Page 2.
Problem:
Only one set will work, if I close the Userform with" MultiPage"on page2, only that set will work.
Same thing if I close on Page 1 then just the set on Page 1 will work.
As anyone seen this problem and any work around you may think would help.
I'm using Windows 7 , Ms Office Pro. 2003
same problem on Windows Vista , XL2003
Cimjet

There are a number of issues relating to the way that date pickers are handled, but the most important is that their output is text. In order to get the values into Excel, you need to format the Excel columns as Date and Custom (time format) and convert
the output to the worksheet from text to date values.
Date pickers also display a few anomalies on multi-page forms, so you need a belt and braces approach. Personally I would put the code to call the form and enter the values in a standard module (as now in the example) and use a belt and braces approach to
maintaining the format.
I think you will find the example now works.

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!
Andre

Have a read of the following on Oracle Support - Support for Office 2010 in Essbase Excel Add-In and Smart View [ID 1191235.1]

Problem with a shared calendar

Hello,
I have a user that has a calendar with a default setting of "reviewer" on her calendar. Every one on our (single) domain used to be able to access her calendar just fine. She left our organization for a short time on a temporary assignment, so
we disabled her account. When she came back, we re-enabled her account on our 2010 Exchange email system. (I bring this up, because I think this probably has something to do with all this).
After a few weeks or so, our users (we have both Outlook 2007, and 2013 clients) started complaining that they could not access her calender unless she specifically granted them permission to do so. Some of
us have no problem accessing her calendar. I have tried changing the permissions using powershell on the exchange server itself with no effect. I have tried stripping off all access to the calendar with no effect. I have checked DFS replication health
to make sure there wasn't problems there.
What is my next step? I wouldn't be at all surprised that I am forgetting something.
Patrick

Hi,
Based on the issue description, I think there's little we can do on Outlook side now. It should be some permission problem on Exchange. To further investigate the problem and find the root cause, please post the question in Exchange Forum:

Internet Calendar in Outlook 2007 and iCloud

I have imported a google calendar into Outlook 2007. Does anyone know how to get iCloud to see that particular calendar? iCloud will see every other calendar I have in outlook except that one. Any thoughts?

I could not get iclould to work well with oultook and just took it off. Wished I had reviewed the forums as there seem to be a lot of issues with outlook and icloud, depsite initially looking like a very good solution. I am running Office 7 64 bit with Outook 2007, on the machine, not an exhange server. Also wanted to sync contacts and calendar with an iPad and Android phone, so perhaps a bit more challenging. After setting up icloud on Windows 7, calendar on outlook synced well with iPpad and android, but I could never get the ipad entries back into the others. Contacts seemd to sync correcly with iPad and oultook, but no solution for android phone. Many calls and discusions, and review of forums resulted in removing icloud which is not so easy. The entries in those calendar and contact files have to be copied back to the original folders and then remove icloud. I then set up iTunes to do the sync and it works. However outlook still had the folders so further clean up was required. Removing icloud does not restore outlook,so it's a bad set up in my view. The modification icloud makes to outlook are not simple to reverse. MIxed level of support does nto help, though today I received pretty capable support with pretty good outlook knowledge. What I was told seemd to work, so I will stck with Itunes for now.

Vista Biz \ DTM 4.7 \ Bold \ Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2003 Nightmare! Help Please

Hi
I am trying to sync my Exchange Pub Folder (Calendar and Contacts) to my BB 9000 and it fails when I select 'MAP' in the DTM sync process.
Vista Biz
DTM 4.7
Outlook 2007
Exchange 2003
Bold
I am local\admin perms and Owner perms on the Exchange \pub folders but it crashes as soon as I select the MAP button.
On my WinXP Pro, using Outlook 2003 and the same exchange it works out of the box, but with Vista and Outlook 07 it crashes. Has anyone experienced this?
Thanks
Karl

It would appear that at least in certain situations Exchange 2003 can't "understand" what Outlook 2007 pushes into the mail store, which is an issue when anything tries to connect via POP or IMAP as the server tries to "render" an Internet standard message, and fails.
Some info here, particularly the bit by Buddha377
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvradmin/thread/c63b871 3-9ef9-4076-a11b-5db08255689b
Sounds like your iPhone sync may be suffering the same way??
P.S. Simply reading a message with OWA can "repair" email messages, I've witness this myself seeing Mail.app show "garbage" for a certain message pulled via IMAP, OWA showing the message fine, then all of a sudden Mail.app showing a perfectly formed message.

Just switched from a charter email to gmail. i use outlook 2007 and cannot get my mail to sync with my ipad and iphone

just switched from a charter email to a gmail. i am syncing fine with ipad and iphone. But cannot get email to sync through outlook 2007.
could someone help me?

How does iCloud have anything to do with this, you have 2 email accounts, neither of them an iCloud account?
If you want to get Gmail on your iPhone add it to your iPhone. Same goes for Outlook.

Sync calendar between Outlook 2007 and iCloud

I've just downloaded and installed the iCloud Control Panel on my office Windows 7 machine. I enabled Calendar and Task syncing with Outlook on my Windows machine. However, when I opened Outlook calendar, I was surprised to see my iCloud calendar adjacent to my Outlook calendar in Outlook. I'd expected that iCloud would have synced the two calendars. In other words, I was hoping the calendar entries from my Outlook calendar would be merged with those from my iCloud calendar resulting in a single calendar. Now, I've simply got two calendars instead of one. If I want to add an entry to both calendars, must I add it in both places now? That doesn't seem very efficient. Is there a way to merge the entries into a single calendar?
Any help would be appreciated.

E8350 - Issues with MS Communicator 2007R2, MS Outlook 2007, and Cisco Webex

While connecting to work using the E8350 router over vpn (Cisco AnyConnect 3.0.0), MS Communicator 2007 R2 fade from green to white meaning lost connection, MS Outlook 2007, Cisco Webex shut down for no reason. I have to reboot laptop to fix the issue. Look in the event viewer log, I have the following error messages:
Session "Communicator" failed to start with the following error 0xC0000022
and
Unable to resolve the DNS hostname of the login server [email protected]
I was hoping the moved from wrt1900ac to E8350 would solve it but I guess not. I'm back on my EA6400 router for work purposes. Need to wait for firmware fix I hope.

I recommend using a LRT214\224 as your main router and the WRT1900AC with OpenWRT McWRT v1.0.5 in a LAN to LAN configuration. This would be more of a bullet proof setup IMO.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

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:
