Room Finder issue

Hi Everyone,
Our employees are currently having a very annoying issue regarding Calendar Scheduling Assistant in Outlook 2013. Here are the steps:
- In the Room Finder Panel, user select Room List A
- Once all the available rooms populated, the name of
Room List A switch to Custom which doesn't happen to other Room Lists and it didn't happen before for
Room List A
- If we switch to other Room Lists, all available rooms from room List A remain on the list, and if I go back to Room List A, these rooms will add up (so we have two rooms A.1, two rooms A.2 for example)
This is quite irritating as our users are confused and wondering if their meetings have been booked or not.

Hi,
Is Outlook in online mode or cached mode?
According to your question, I think it will be more efficient to ask it on Microsoft Outlook forum here:

Exchange 2010 - Issues with Room Finder not showing available rooms.

Hi,
We are having issues with room finder not populating the room resources that are available inside a meeting request within outlook 2010. It also appears that there is a drop down box that is present in a lot of the other forums and pages that I have referenced
for troubleshooting:
Single Exchange 2010 server version 14.03.0224.002 running all roles. Migrated from previous Exchange 2003 environment and old 2003 server has been decommissioned.
Room mailbox created and all configured resource policies are working correctly for creating meeting requests. A distribution group was created and the room mailboxes added to this DG as per instructions here: hxxp://exchangeserverpro.com/find-meeting-rooms/
. We have recreated the OAB and confirmed that the Room mailboxes are part of this list.
Does anyone have any ideas why the rooms are not showing up in the Room Finder box?
If I have missed any information please feel free to ask for more info.
Thanks, all help will be appreciated.

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that room finder cannot show available room in Outlook 2010.
If I misunderstand you concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
I want to double confirm whether it works before, or it can’t work after decommission Exchange 2003? How about other Outlook version?
The offline address book (OAB) is generated by Microsoft Exchange Server. In order for the Room Finder feature to work, the OAB must be generated by Exchange 2010 or a later version.
Please run Get-OfflineAddressBook | FL Identity,Server to double check OAB generation server. Also, run Get-OabVirtualDirectory | FL to check URL for current OAB VD and force update OAB.
Then open Test E-mail AutoConfiguration to double check whether Outlook get correct URL.
After above complete, please try to switch to Send/Receive tab, click Send/Receive Groups, and then click Download Address Book.
Thanks

New HD Multi Room DVR Issues (AV Syncing & DVR Error Message)

I recently upgraded our Multi Room DVR to the new HD compatible box. To date, we have had no problems with our Samsung which is hooked up to the primary DVR in our Family Room, the issue is with our 20" LG in the bedroom, which is hooked up to the new box.
The issues are:
1. Audio/Video Syncing - After watching a live program for a while the AV syncing becomes an issue. I find this mainly on HD channels, but it will also happen on the non HD channels as well.
2. 'No DVR Signal' - When watching a recorded HD program on the new box, we have gotten the a communication error message toward the end of the show. The only choice that the message gives us is to select OK, which stops the recording and takes us back to the main playback menu. When we try and fast forward to the part of the show where we got the message, the picture freezes and we can not watch any longer.
I have talked with Verizon and, initially, I thought that it was an issue with the activation since it happened the first night that we got the box, however, it has now happened twice in the same week.
I will say that we did not have this issue with the standard STB Multi Room DVR, it worked fine.
Sorry, if this issue has been discussed already...

1) I have not seen or heard about this issue yet.
2) This is a knows issue and they have a fix that will be rolled out on image 1.7 on the STB. And that should be out in the next few weeks.
Hey Thanks Tim for the update. The "Unable to Locate Hub" nag is really getting me. If Verizon fixes that issue I would be able to live with the other issues. I love the service except for the nag. It's a real killer to try and watch a show and the nag comes up.

Room Finder not working with Address Book Policies

Hi,
I have an issue with Room Finder and Address Book Policies whereby when a mailbox user is apart of an ABP they cannot see any rooms within the room finder in Outlook. They can however see their organisations rooms in the address book (which is
the intended outcome of using ABPs)
If the user is part of the default GAL (no ABP) then all roomlists can be seen in room finder making me suspect that the problem is with the ABP
I came across an article which is very similar to the problem that I am encountering however I am already using the suggested fix (using recipient filters) -
Background to configuration
We have a multi tenant exchange 2013 environment where each tenant is segmented from other tenants by the use of address book policies.
Each tenant have been set-up using the following cmdlets:
New-GlobalAddressList -Name "TenantName - GAL" -ConditionalCustomAttribute15 "ABC" -IncludedRecipients MailboxUsers -RecipientContainer "Path/to/OU
New-AddressList -Name "TenantName - All Rooms" -RecipientFilter "(CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ABC') -and (RecipientDisplayType -eq 'ConferenceRoomMailbox')" -RecipientContainer "Path/to/OU
New-AddressList -Name "TenantName - All Users" -RecipientFilter "(CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ABC') -and (ObjectClass -eq 'User')" -RecipientContainer "Path/to/OU
New-AddressList -Name "TenantName - All Contacts" -RecipientFilter "(CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ABC) -and (ObjectClass -eq 'Contact')" -RecipientContainer "Path/to/OU
New-AddressList -Name "TenantName - All Groups" -RecipientFilter "(CustomAttribute15 -eq 'ABC') -and (ObjectClass -eq 'Group')" -RecipientContainer "Path/to/OU
New-OfflineAddressBook -Name "TenantName" -AddressLists "TenantName - GAL"
New-AddressBookPolicy -Name "TenantName" -AddressLists "TenantName - All Users", "TenantName - All Contacts", "TenantName - All Groups" -GlobalAddressList "TenantName - GAL" -OfflineAddressBook "TenantName"
-RoomList "TenantName - All Rooms"
As you can see each address list is populated by custom attribute 15 corresponding to the tenants code (of local significance) and the OU that the object resides in.
N.B. I have rebuilt my outlook profile, switched to non-cached mode to no avail
To reiterate, the ABP is working great apart from this room finder feature issue, each tenant can only see their rooms in their address book just not in the room finder.
I have tried to build distribution group roomlists and set the custom attribute and OU to test but this didn't work as I'm aware you can only have address lists in the set-addressbookpolicy -roomlist cmdlet parameter, not distribution groups

Hi Winnie,
Apologies for not replying sooner, I've been busy over New Year!
I have already seen/followed similar instructions to create roomlist's to no avail.
The roomlist's created are all visible to a user when they are not apart of an ABP but when they are part of an ABP it shows no roomlists within room Finder.
As initially mentioned, the tenants rooms can be seen in their address book just not in room finder!
Here is the powershell results
PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-DistributionGroup "Group: Test Room List"

Room Finder does not work

I've set up two room lists in a large organisation (50K users) running pure Exchange 2010 accross a huge cas array and multiple mailbox servers. I've added rooms to both lists and also checked that the rooms are set as the correct resource type. However
the room finder is empty. The problem occurs in both cached and online mode. Both groups were set up months ago (so not an OAB update problem) and are set as Room lists correctly. Also I can see the groups if I select them from the GAL. This issue affects
all users.
I enabled Outlook logging and get two errors when using the scheduling assistant:
2013/05/22 09:27:21.403: CRoomsCTP::FOnPutAppointmentItem(): HrSetASUrl failed. 0x80004005
2013/05/22 09:27:21.840: CRoomsCTP::HrGetRoomListAsync(): HrGetRoomLists failed. 0x8000ffff.
GAL is updating fine as is OAB. I have googled extensively and searched similar threads here but have not found an answer.
I have also checked the worktimes for the rooms in each group and they are set to 8.00am to 5.00pm so its not the outlook hotfix issue

Hello Tony, In case if it is working on your Lab environment and not on your production environment ..then it might rather be a server side issues specific to your production servers. I doubt about your Server's Mailbox Role being partially configured coz,
i ran in to a similar issue where i ran EXBPA and got the message "Mailbox Role PArtially configured".
After i fixed the mailbox role issue and got that installed successfuly, the issue was resolved. so, please consider running EXBPA to get additional information.

Room finder is empty in Outlook - but not in OWA ?

Hello
I have this problem - exactly as asked here:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/148/t/230277.aspx
They kind of referer to this site. Then i have been looking and searching here - and didnt really come up with anything. So - therefor this post :)
I have this setup:
Exchange 2013, SP1 - CU5
Mostly Windows 7 with Office 2013 - about 200 clients - (also a citrix farm with same version) : 2013 Pro Plus (15.0.4693.1000)
Problem:
For some reason, when i want to use the room finder, when creating a new meeting - my room finder justs says "None"
It works fine with OWA.
What i have done:
It was created with powershell as following (The room list):
New-DistributionGroup -Name RoomsHQ -DisplayName "Rooms HQ" -PrimarySmtpAddress
RoomsHQ@*********.com –RoomList
and then added the rooms:
Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity RoomsHQ -Member RoomBlue
Add-DistributionGroupMember -Identity RoomsHQ -Member RoomRed
and so on...
All the rooms are of the type: Room
Im pretty confident its a client problem since its working in OWA. The Client also lists all the rooms when i want to add them manually (clicking Rooms... next to the location field) - so outlook CAN see the rooms.
Also - There has been no difference running Cached mode or not.
I dont know where to look next :) Hope one of you bright minds can help me in the right direction :)
Kind regards
Daniel Lauritzen

Hi Daniel,
Since OWA works fine, I believe the issue should be related to Outlook autodiscover and EWS. You can check the settings by the following steps on an problematic Outlook
client:
a. While Outlook is running, click the CTRL key and then right-click the Outlook icon in the system tray and then select “Test Email Autoconfiguration”.
b. Confirm that your email address is in the address field, uncheck “Use Guessmart” and “secure Guessmart authentication” boxes. Then click the “Test” button.

How to use room finder for meetings less than 30 minutes

Hi,
I'm currently investigating the use of the room finder option in Outlook 2010 (with Exchange 2010 as backend, on-premise).
However, we would like to use it to schedule meetings less than 30 minutes, but that doesn't seem to work.
The message "Suggestions are not provided for meetings with a duration of less than 30 minutes" appears in the suggested times box.
Is there a setting somewhere on the client or server that we can adjust to allow to use the room finder for meetings of 15 minutes?
Thanks a lot,
Michiel Peene.

Hi All,
Is this really the end of it? It's by design?
What I have noticed however is that it's not a problem with the meeting being less than 30 minutes, it's a problem with a meeting starting on a 15 minute or 45 minute mark of the hour. Even if the meeting is
scheduled for 1 hour, as long as the start time is X:15 or X:45, room finder will not display any suggestions.
One can schedule the meeting starting at quarter past or quarter too, the room finder will just not make any suggestions for a room. So what I have done and suggested to the PAs in the business to do, is to
find a room by starting off scheduling it to start on the hour. Then when you find a room that is available for that hour, select the room, then change the start time. If you want the meeting to be for less than an hour (say 45 mins) don't forget to change
the end time respectively. It automatically defaults the end time to either 60 mins or 30 mins after the start time.
[EDIT] - I have actually discovered that the start time can be anything other than on the hour or on the half hour and the problem/issue presents itself.
Is there a setting that perhaps can be configured with PowerShell that allows the room finder to see availability of rooms for the 15 minutes past and 15 minutes too the hour, and therefore suggest rooms?
I wonder if it is not something to do with the Availability service (Free/Busy service) configuration, anyone know what is configurable on the Availability service and how to configure it?
Did you ever find a solution to this ?
It's now 2014 and it would still be helpful to know whether there's a way to fix Room Finder's apparent incompatibility with non-X:00/X:30 meeting times!

Exchange 2010 - Room Finder Duplicate

I have created a room list in exchange 2010 and every seems to working fine. When I drop down the room finder menu on the scheduling assistant on Outlook 2010, I get the list twice.
I have ensured that the list only has one existence in AD, and I have also rebuilt the address book but it still seems to be showing the list twice.
I found an article explaining that deleting the below registry key solves the issue which it does until you schedule another meeting using the room finder and then the duplicate room list appears:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Office/14.0/Outlook/preferences/RoomFinderRecentRoomList
Please can somebody assist
Kind Regards

Hi,
I did a test in my environment, and the Room Finder can work fine with Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2010.
Does the issue happen to all users? Please start Outlook in Online mode and check whether the issue persists. If the issue doesn't happen in Online mode, please create a new Outlook profile to have a try.
If it doesn't work, please start Outlook in safe mode to narrow down whether the issue is caused by any third-party add-ins in Outlook client.

Room Finder is not working - neither Online nor Cached Mode

Hello everyone,
since the migration to exchange we have problems with the room finder.
Infrastructure is 2 Exchange 2013 SP1 in a DAG. DNS Round-Robin.
We created a room lists (distribution list not security) for each branch office that has meeting rooms.
Each room list has at least 3 meeting rooms.
Room finder does not select between the list and shows "none". This happens in Cached mode or Online mode. When we work with OWA (which we usally deactivate) you can select the list and then the free rooms.
Free Busy is working. When i use the scheduling assistant and add all rooms i can see the the infomations for all rooms.
Can anyone help with troubleshooting ?
Best Regards
Stephan

Hello Satish,
how can I check that the room lists are in the OAB?
I tried with cached and with online mode. The rooms are created for over two months now so they should be included ;)
The URLs are correct. One internal and one external.
I don't think the authentication is anonymous ?! Isn't that a security issue ?
InternalAuthenticationMethods   : {Ntlm, WindowsIntegrated, WSSecurity, OAuth}
Test-WebservicesConnectivity says success
Source                              ServiceEndpoint

server.buhu.de              webserver.buhu-external.com        EWS: GetFolder
Success      33
Is it possible to restrict EWS only to internal? We do not use Outlook Anywhere. Our users can only connect to the exchange server with VPN, without some exceptions who can use OWA.
Best regards

Finder issues and Get Info refusing to show the number of files on items on the main hard drive.

I am having finder issues. Mostly on the main hard drive. It takes ages to find things and I get the spinning wheel every time I open a folder.
So I moved all of my files to a external drive. When I had finished transfering I hit get info on the files on the external drive and on the same folder on the main drive. To ensure that it has copied over all the files. Because it was acting up and not copying all the files.
Get Info refuses to show the number of files within the folders on the main hard drive. It hasppily tells me everything on any of the external drives.
I have reset, the imac. I have re indexed 3 times. I have deleted the finder plist files. I have reset finder using terminal commands. I have moved nearly everything off the main hard drive. But nothing is working.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what could be causing my finder and get info issues.
Any help wpuld be appreciated.
Running Mountain Lion on a late 2009 Imac

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Finder Issue

After iMac (10.6.8) has been running for a few hours, sometimes less than that Garageband and iTunes won't open.
I have been keeping track of different scenarios when this happens and every time it happens I have noticed that the Finder won't allow me to save any file to the HD or the external drive because the item could not be found.
It will allow me to save files to the Desktop however.
I have no idea if Garageband and iTunes and the Finder acting up are related but just putting it out there.
When I click on any location via the side bar icons all I get is the respective icon appearing and .
However, when I click on the Devices icon in the sidebar I can path my way to my user and it allows me to save it anywhere I want.
Rebooting only fixes these issues temporarily. I have run Disk Utilty from the Start Up Disc as well and everything came back with no problems found.
Also I am having to Force Quit all Apple based programs such as iWork 08 during this period of the Finder Issue and I cannot access the About This Mac function.
I can however activate the Software Updater.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert

Hi Robert!
It sounds like there may be some sort of an issue in your operating system causing this to happen. You will probably want to create a Time Machine backup of your computer and reinstall the operating system to see if that affects the issue. An article about Time Machine backups can be found right here:

Finder issue with Spaces

I found a Finder issue when using spaces. I performed an upgrade installation on my Intel Core Duo iMac. Finder worked as expected. Then, I turned on Spaces. After a few minutes the finder hung. I tried using activity monitor several times to force quit it. Finder quit, then relaunched and hung. Then, I turned off Spaces and the Finder stopped hanging and functioned as expected. I turned Spaces back on, and the Finder is still working currently. I am not sure if this bug will reproduce itself at this point.

Ok, got it!
Please refer to the original post and the third post in the following thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10122332
Turns out I was having the same two problems as the original poster. It also turns out the solution to his first problem, which he outlined in the third post, happened to solve both problems on my machine.
In your Spaces prefs (Expose & Spaces in the System Preferences), make sure "When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application" is checked!
Seems to have worked for me!
Here's hoping this solution helps others with the same problem. =)

Finder Issue with Alphabetizing

Hi everybody,
I'm having an issue after installing Lion in that Cover Flow/List/Icon in Finder is not alphabetizing (yet every other option is). Does any body know how to fix this? I've made sure that English is the correct text/language, but nothing else has changed.
Thanks

I've had similar issues recently. I saw them first on an SMB share. Here are slightly different steps for repro:
All in the Finder:
* On a network share, create a new folder, e.g., "test"
* Within "test", create two new folders, "test1" and "test2", renaming them as you create them
* Select the "test1" directory you just created
Result:
* After selecting "test1", it visually changes to "test2" such that there are two "test2"'s listed there
* After a short delay, the display is rendered correctly, showing "test1" and "test2", but "test2" is now selected.
* If you select "test1" again it then displays as "test2" (i.e. two "test2"'s) and "test1" from there on out is inaccessible
Note that "ls" from the terminal shows these correctly; this is a Finder issue.
Unmounting and remounting the share fixes the problem.
This also happens on a USB card reader. It does not happen on the internal drive, nor on a PPC Mac running 10.4.9.

1. is it possible to keep finder from automatically sorting a re-named folder or file when i am in the middle of re-organizing things? say to wait until i have actively clicked a sort button or otherwise clicked out of the finder view? i am always running around trying to find a re-named file or folder in a list of one hundred files when all i really want to do is rename some things and then move them. having this newly named entity automatically do the skeedaddle out of my view in the finder window is a real pita.
2. is there a realiable method that will let folders sort alphabetically with folders and files to sort alphabetically with files? i find it very annoying to have all this mixed up together when i will look for a file with files and for a folder with folders. i tried some terminal editing based upon a posted url that described a solution to this at one point but it does not appear to have taken.
TIA!

1) No.
2) Why not sort by Kind?
