Shared Mailbox with Multiple Shared Calendars

We have a shared mailbox (Exchange 2010) for a department and they have created 30+ calendars that they would like other users to have access to. I've tried giving access to the calendars folder with powershell giving the users reviewer access which
is what was requested.
I started with this
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity "Dept42" -User "user" -AccessRights ReadPermission -InheritanceType all
then
Add-MailboxFolderPermission -identity "Dept42:\Calendar" -user "nrogers" -AccessRights Reviewer
I'm assuming this command gives access to all calendars folder since i've tried to specify the calendar and get errors that the specific calendar could not be found. Am I missing something as they still cannot see the shared calendar even though I can add
the mailbox to their outlook profile.
Thanks
Jay

Hi,
To share the sub calendar to other users, we need to give them the desired permission (at least Reviewer) to the folder and at least Folder visible permission to every Root folder above the shared subfolder.
Besides, we also need to give them Folder visible permission to the shared mailbox.
1. Right click on the mailbox root.
2. The Default account typically has no permission to the entire mailbox. You can either give the Default account Folder visible permission or click Add and select the users who you want to grant the permissions.
3. Check the Folder visible box only and the permission level remains set to None.
Once the Calendar folder permission are set, who the folders are shared with needs to add this shared mailbox to their profile.
Could you please check the result from Outlook side?
If there is any update, please feel free to let me know.

Smart mailbox with multiple addresses

It seams that creating a Smart Mailbox with "From" multiple addresses (comma separated) conditions works with INBOX emails... but the same idea does not work if it applies to SENT emails... any help?

Hi Sanjay,
Outlook would resolve the SMTP to Displayname if object is found in the GAL, hence no option for you to get that directly visible to the user, if he is accessing the email there.
Quick way to find out would be checking the header info on the email
To: Field should essentially contain the email ID to which email was directed to.
As an admin you can check this on the message tracking logs for the user.
Sample Message Header below:

One shared mailbox with multiple distribution groups connected and the sent items folder - how to configure?

Hi!
I have been struggling for a while now with the following issue.
For starters:
We are using exchange 2010 in combination with outlook 2013 on client computers.
Cause of the limitations concerning the number of mailboxes in outlook im looking for a solution to receive and reply
to multiple aliasses. So i did the following:
1. Configured one shared mailbox.
2. Configured multiple distribution groups
3. made the shared mailbox a member of the distribution groups
4. Configured full access and send as permissions for myself on the shared mailbox ( testing )
5. Gave send as permissions to the shared mailbox in Active directory.
6. Logged in to OWA to setup rules for the shared mailbox.
I now receive emails from all connected distribution groups in the shared mailbox and also in the right folder.
I do however have to select the proper from address when i reply to an email.
the email sent by the main SMTP of the shared mailbox is placed into the sent folder of the shared mailbox.
I setup the senddelagate blabla in register.....
When i sent an email as one of the connected distribution groups it fails to put the sent item in the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. The email is sent using the proper address but placed in the sent folder of my main account.
I want this emails to end up in the sent items folder of the shared mailbox. Or even better, in a sent items folder for each of the addresses.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
As what
Rajkumar says, sending as a shared mailbox(full access permission) will put the email in the sent item of shared mailbox. But it cannot be located in the “sent item” of a distribution group. Because
it is a distribution group instead of a enabled user mailbox.
According to your further description, I understand that the reason why you configure that is some users reached the
limitation about the number of Exchange accounts you can include in the same Outlook profile. Is it rights? If I misunderstand, please point it out.
By default, user can only add 10 Exchange accounts to the same profile. You can customize the limit to the number Exchange accounts in the same profile using the following registry data:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\policies\Microsoft\exchange
DWORD: MaxNumExchange
Value: integer value starting at 1 (default = 10 if DWORD is missing)
http://blogs.technet.com/b/outlooking/archive/2012/12/24/clarification-on-outlook-2010-and-additional-exchange-account-supportability.aspx
Hope it helps.

Icloud Control Panel on windows with multiple outlook calendars,contacts syncing with multiple i-devices

I have one windows vista PC with Microsoft outlook with two calendars and two contacts ( family and work in each case). My wife syncs her ipad 2 via icloud and I am about to buy an iphone but as much as I have tried I cannot find out how to sync from one set of calendar and contacts (family to my wife's ipad) and separately the other calendar and contacts (work) to my iphone via icloud (or any other way efficiently) off the same PC. Although I have found lots of these similar sorts of issues on the forum, to my surprise I have not found this exact issue and so I have not yet found the solution. Any help appreciated!

Hello desert_dweller5,
It sounds like you art trying to access a Shared Photo Stream, but you do not have one of the devices to enable your Apple ID as an iCloud account. The following article provides information on how Shared Photo Streams work:
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
The article states that for privately Shared Photo Streams to work, the recipient will not only have to have an Apple ID, but it will have to be an iCloud account:
Friends and family with iCloud accounts can view your photos in the Photos app on any device using iOS 6 or later; on a Mac in iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later; on a Windows PC with Windows Vista or later and iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later installed; or on a second generation or later Apple TV with software version 5.1 or later installed. They can also view your photos on the web if you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your Shared Photo Stream.
Since you do not have an iCloud account and just and Apple ID, your friend can share the photo stream as a public website so that you can view it, as stated in the same article:
Can I share with people who don't have an iCloud account?
Yes. If you enable Public Website in the settings or options for your shared photo stream your photos will be published to a website that anyone can view in an up-to-date web browser.
To be able to change an Apple ID to an iCloud account, you would need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later as stated in the following article:

Can't get phone to sync with multiple Google Calendars?

I set up multiple calendar accounts with Google but have run across an issue.....
When I perform a sync from my phone it only syncs with my first "primary" calendar. The items in my "primary" calendar are the only ones that appear on Google Calendar. However when I enter them on Google Calendar and then perform a sync all the items appear on my phone.
Any insight as to how I can get them to sync both ways?

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I am trying to figure this out. I added my dads calendar to mine in a regular browser, and after syncing with my phone, it shows up in the preferences in calendar view options as another calendar that is with my gmail account, and it is set to be visible in the view all calendar. but it does not show, neither does it show when you just go to view that calendar alone. i dont get why this is happening if it is there in my preferences.
im going to just add my dads gmail account to my calendar, but it would be so much easier if all my gmail calendars that are tied to my one gmail account would show. is palm working on a fix for this??

Syncing z30 with multiple outlook calendars

Hi Everyone,
i am new to the forum and i see numerous people are having issues with outlook. can anyone help me please as i have not found a solution to my problem. i am trying to sync my new z30 phone to my outlook calendars and when i go through the process in blackberry link and try to add calendars in the configure tab under the calendar sync option there it doesnt show any calendars in there to add. previously i had a z30 that i could have all the calendars synced to my phone but i dont have this phone anymore. anyone please help!!!!
Thanks in advance

If contacts are available with a supported application on a computer and with your iPhone, you should be provided a merge prompt with the first sync of this data.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with an iTunes library on a single computer, but you can sync contacts, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers.
For your iTunes sync preferences with the computer you will be syncing contacts and calendar events only, do not select sync music or anything else under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on that computer.

How can icloud sync with multiple outlook calendars?

I have an outlook calendar syncing to icloud. But I want to sync another calendar as well and I want to add holidays. Can this be done with icloud? Or should I go back to yahoo calendar? Thanks.

It works for millions of users, you are doing it wrong. Read the directions and follow them exactly, no diversions.
Please try to understand that there is NO sync. iCloud is a server to client Dav system, not a client to client sync system.
How does the desktop tell you that "outlook has been set up to sync"
I would like to know the exact conditions that generate that,
So post a screenshot here.

Multiple Google Calendar Sync no longer possible?

I'm trying to set my iPad (WiFi) up to sync with multiple google calendars. I did this successfully with my iPhone 4 a few months ago. Now I'm trying to do the same with my iPad following Google's instructions here:
http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=14252&answer=138740
However, now when I try to go to m.google.com, I don't get any option to sign in, or a list of my devices. All I get is a page with Google Apps. Has this now changed and Google has not updated this page? Has anyone been able to configure this recently?

Ok. I'm not sure quite how I got this to work. I went to m.google.com from Safari on my iPad. I tapped on "Sync" and it didn't take me anywhere useful. I went back to m.google.com and tapped on "Calendar" and logged in. Still not what I wanted. On a lark, went back to m.google.com and tapped on "Sync" again. Bingo! It brought up a list of my mobile devices. From there, I could select the one I wanted and select my calendars. I think the key was logging in through Calendar.
Best of luck.

Users cannot edit a shared calendar of a shared mailbox that was deleted from the cloud and recreated on premise

Description:
The following example account [email protected] is an on premise AD account being used as a shared mailbox in the cloud. We have discovered that regardless of what we do, not a single user can edit the calendar entries.
The following message is shown in Outlook Click to Run 2013 when an entry. "New appointment" button is also greyed out, including "Calendar Permissions" and some others.
This problem started when the shared mailbox was created wrongly by creating it in the cloud first and we had to delete it and start over. The "in the cloud" user was deleted and the same user was created in AD on-premise with the same account name
and then Dir Synced with the cloud. A license was assigned, a user mailbox on exchange online created and the type was converted to a shared mailbox and Editor rights were defined on the calendar folder for specific users.
Actions performed:
Action01: gave users Editor rights on calendar folder through powershell
Result01: Rights correctly added and can be seen when get-mailboxfolderpermission is ran
Action02: Opened calendar with Outlook and tried to edit entries
Result02: Error message pops up saying "You don't have permission to create an entry in this folder. Right click the folder and check..."
Action03: Opened calendar with OWA of users
Result03: Users can edit the shared calendar on OWA
Action04: Gave users Full Access permission on mailbox with automapping on
Result04: Users can edit calendar in Outlook
Action05: Gave users Full Access permission on mailbox with automapping off (mailbox no longer visible in outlook)
Result05: Users cannot edit calendar in Outlook
Action06: Removed Full Access permission on mailbox for users
Result06: User cannot edit calendar in Outlook
Action07: Removed [email protected] from on-premise AD, performed dirsync, removed account from ms online using remove-msoluser -removefromrecyclebin
Result07: No trace of the account was anywhere to be found.
Action08: Created new [email protected] account on on-premise AD, assigned o365 license to user including exchange online license
Result08: New empty Exchange online mailbox was created
Action09: gave users Editor rights on calendar folder through powershell
Result09: Rights correctly added and can be seen when get-mailboxfolderpermission is ran
(Note: whenever mailboxfolder permissions are modified for this mailbox it's as if they are ran THREE times in a row, the first time they are applied and the powershell gives immediately 3 exceptions behind this:
An existing permission entry was found for user: [email protected]
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Add-MailboxFolderPermission], UserAlreadyExis...nEntryException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : [Server=DBXPR05MB046,RequestId=3b3e080e-9aaf-4db9-9b90-b7171d59eba2,TimeStamp=7/11/2014

nt.StoreTasks.AddMailboxFolderPermission
    + PSComputerName        : outlook.office365.com
Any other mailbox does not do this when setting mailboxfolder permissions)
Action10: Opened calendar with Outlook and tried to edit entries
Result10: Error message pops up saying "You don't have permission to create an entry in this folder. Right click the folder and check..."
Action11: Tried on a fresh new pc with first time logon
Result11: did not help
Additional information:
We have seen this problem with another user which was recreated, when he shares his calendar with others and people get the calendar invite email and click "Open Calendar" they receive a popup "The folder cannot be found".
My first impression points to a corruption/bug in the GAL on exchange online, since we're using o365 for midsize bussinesses we cannot use the AdressList role to expose the adresslist cmdlts for deeper troubleshooting.
PS:
Issue tested on different computers and with different user accounts, not a single user can edit the calendar of [email protected] when editor rights are given.
Noticed when editing rights for the shared mailbox in powershell after the first confirmation line
Office 2013 is click to run was updated to latest version, version number: 15.0.4659.1001

Greetings Gil,
I haven't heard of that one.
Questions:
Does the calendar in question show up in the "Subscriptions" category of iCal?
If you remove all accounts from iCal > Preferences > Accounts and quit and re-open iCal, does the calendar in question vanish? If so, does the calendar come back when you re-input the servers you need into iCal > Preferences > Accounts?
Can you provide a screen shot of your calendar sidebar.
While you answer those questions, some troubleshooting to try:
Try dragging one of your other calendars above this calendar that won't delete and then quit / re-open iCal and attempt to delete the calendar in question.
Failing that:
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
3. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
4. Launch iCal and test.
If the issue persists at this point:
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Hope that helps!

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.

Printed a shared calendar with tasks

I need to print my boss's daily calendar with the tasks listed on the right side, but although both his calendar are tasks are shared with me and I can view them, it won't let me print the calendar with the tasks from my outlook. From other
discussions I saw people recommending the Calendar Printing Assistant for Outlook, but it looks like that only works in Outlook 2007 and it won't work on my Outlook 2013.
Is there any solution for this besides adding his mailbox to my computer?

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to print a shared calendar with tasks, please follow these steps: -
In Outlook 2013, you need to ensure the print settings are correct first.
Go to the
Calendar; enter Day view by clicking the Day button above the Calendar.
File tab >
Print. In the list at the right ensure Daily Style is chosen under
Settings. Then click the Print Options button just above the
Settings list. In the Print Dialog box that opens, right in the middle is a button that says
Page Setup; select that.
Print setup dialog box that opens, in the
Format tab, find the Options block on the lower left. In that block, the second item down is labeled
Tasks. From the drop-down menu to the right of Tasks, choose
To-Do list.
In that same dialog box you probably want to clear the checkmark next
“include: Notes area (blank)” to make more room for tasks.
Now click
OK first and then Print on the next screen. That’s it. The setting should be saved.
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

Outlook 11 for Mac sharing Calendar with Outlook 2010 for Windows

I have an Executive user that has a Macbook with Outlook 2011 that shares his calendar with his Administrator using Outloook 2010 for Windows (Exchange 2010). Exec changed his categories last week. The changes do not appear on Admin's calendar.
Exec is sharing calendar with Full / Publisher privs.
When I share my calendar with Admin she sees categories, and colors. Is dynamic, I make a change she immidietly sees it.
When Admin looks at her OWA she does not see changes on Exec's shared calendar.
Help! Thanks. -F.F.F.

Seems this an Exchange-Outlook 2011/2010 mix scenario. Seems Admin even cannot to see the categories changed through OWA, I think the categories have still not updated to mailbox from the Executive user's Outlook 2011. Does it happen when the user and
admin share their calendar with categories in one platform, I mean Outlook in Windows in both side or using OWA?
For the Office for Mac question, please post it to the following forum.

Permissions problem: Public folders/Shared Calendars across domains with Linked accounts

I have a linked mailbox that is accessed by an account in a trusted domain. The account can access e-mail, send e-mail, free-busy search, etc, just fine. However, there seems to be a permissions issue with the public folders and shared calendars.
When trying to access the public folders for which permissions have been assigned to the linked account from the trusted domain account, I get an error, or just can't see the folders. The only way I can view public folders is by setting default permissions
on the folder to 'Read'.
I've found some other threads that reference this problem, and a blog that no longer exists as the solution:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrclientslegacy/thread/5fdf4cd7-3543-4b5d-94cc-317446ddaa46
If anyone has any ideas or the solution that was shown in the above referenced blog, I'd be very grateful!

Hi,Shane,
I believe you can try James' suggestion in the link

Per the

Active Directory does not enforce simultaneous performance of all these tasks, nor does it enforce removal of the Associated External Account or
msExchMasterAccountSid if an Active Directory account is re-enabled.

How can a family with multiple existing accounts use Home Sharing?

I'd like to use the new Home Sharing feature, but it appears to be restricted to families in which all of the family members share a single user account.
We already have separate accounts for each family member. Is there some way for us to use Home Sharing without abandoning most of our existing accounts, along with all of the purchases made by those accounts? I don't think anyone in this situation would be willing to do that.

Eh. I am not too sure since I have not messed with it much but I do have a great deal of experience with multiple accounts. Each computer can be authorized for multiple accounts. As can iPods. iPods can sync songs/videos/apps from multiple accounts as long as the computer is authorized with them. What I have set up here, is I buy my stuff I want, my parents buy what they want and so do my brothers. When my bro gets something I want I just move it to my computer. That way all our accounts are separate, but if there is something I want I can get it. Also, since the music no longer has DRM, it won't matter. It will play on any computer. What you should see is if you can just do the shared library with multiple accounts. Then if you don't have videos or such, you can get apps or music. Hope this helps!

Sharing iTunes on a single computer with multiple users

Greetings,
I have been troubleshooting a problem sharing iTunes on a single computer with multiple users that cropped up a few weeks ago and have not had very good luck.
Several months ago I successfully set up my wife’s G4 Laptop (PowerPC processor) so that we could share iTunes on that computer. I had just gotten her an “My Book” external hard drive (Western Digital). The iTunes Library will go on this new unit because the internal drive was running out of room. I successfully set the privileges, moved the entire library onto a “Share” directory and everything worked fine.
In this way, when I got a new CD I could add it to iTunes (under my login, administrator privileges) and she could access it (under her login) to listen to while working on the computer or using her iPod. This arrangement went well for quite awhile.
About a month and a half ago, when I tried to launch iTunes from my login I received this message:
“The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.”
I think the permissions must have changed when there was an update because my wife is pretty careful about what she does on her computer. Updates were the only thing I could think of that had changed since I had set her computer up. I also noticed that some of the iTunes defaults were different from the last time I had used it to add a CD.
So, I did some reading and went back through the motions of trying to set it up again. I re-formatted the My Book hard drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) added the files back to the external, reset permissions on the external hard drive. (Owners: System, Access: read and write - Group: wheel, Access: read and write – Others: read and write).
When I now launch iTunes under my login I get this message:
“The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.”
What gives? I am the original owner and have always had top-level privileges.
Can someone point me to any articles or clues as to how I need to set-up iTunes on a single computer to be shared by more than one user? Also, I am considering upgrading to the newer system in a few weeks, so if a solution for OS X 10.5 is available, that would work too.
Tim

Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.
