Syncing to diff comp when out of office

I have a complex database program that runs my office (runs on Microsoft SQL); and I sync its calendars and contacts with Microsoft Outlook; and I sync Outlook with my iPhone (iOS 7) via iTunes. It all works out perfectly. But it's based on one desktop computer.
I'll be leaving the office for several days, during which it is very likely that I will develop new contacts or calendar entries. The laptop I'll have with me has a replicated (remote) version of the SQL database, plus also Outlook and iTunes. Whatever new entries get into the remote SQL database will be preserved when I sync it with my desktop. Meanwhile, though, I'm concerned about how to deal with new events or contacts that go into my phone. The obvious easy and safe way is to just manually transfer them to the remote SQL installation; but that would require actually remembering which entries are new and need transferring.
Is it correct that there is no way to arrange syncing through iTunes (into Outlook) on the laptop without screwing up the (more important) sync on the desktop? If I'm incorrect about that, what is the best way to go?
Btw, the reason I'm not using iCloud is because it doesn't back everything up, and you can't back up to both iCloud and also a desktop iTunes. But I suppose I could back up to iCloud just for the time I'm on the road.... Would that be the answer?

In order to answer your question you have to first determine how your machine knows whether you're in the office or not...
Once you answer that the rest is pretty easy, but the specifics for how to make that determination are largely down to your network configuration.
For example, some people might use their IP address as the determining factor - assuming the office network uses a preset range of IP addresses that don't conflict with outside locations.
Others might rely on the network name (assuming you're using wireless).
Others might use wired connections at the office but wireless when outside.
Or maybe you use different network configurations for office and outside.
The list goes on...

Can not send email from corporate account when out of office

I have a 3G+wifi ipad, my sending via corp email works when I'm in the office (connected via wifi) but doesn't send when I'm on 3G and other wifi network (my home wifi). When I send from the other locations I can send from yahoo account only. I have tried to change the server port a couple of times but still no luck. Anyone has any idea how solve this problem?

I am still having some of the problems the guy who can't get corporate emails has.
You have already read my thread. Yesterday was a good day, I got every single email I received on my iPhone and main Mac computer on my iPad.
I powered the Pad down last night, turned it on this morning and only got 2 of the 4 I was sent during the night, 2 of them being from my US HO but yesterday I got emails from my US HO on my iPad early in the evening.
I have learnt that ntl world emails cannot be received with 'Push' so that cancels out that being anything to do with it.
There is only one difference in my settings so don't know if this is making any difference:-
On my iPad the smtp authentication is MD5 Challenge-Response.
On my iPhone the authentication is Password, I have tried changing it but it won't let me. Can't think that this is the problem as this is on the Outgoing Server of which I have no problems.
Another odd thing is that when I got my iPhone last year I synched the account settings through iTunes. I did this 3 weeks ago when I got my iPad. I then unselected synching the accounts in iTunes when the Pad was connected as I wanted to set them up manually. Now I cannot access this part of iTunes for the phone or pad, it's ticked but greyed out and doesn't show any of my 4 accounts.
One of the main reasons I bought a Pad is to do emails on it as I find the iPhone a little small to use all day. I am gutted that the Pad is not getting all mails and can't trust it.
Could it be that when I power down it affects the settings as that's the only thing different I did yesterday. I will keep the pad on all day and night but this should not be the problem can it? Don;t want to waste power having it on all evening.

Extra monitor w/laptop in office, when out of office how do I prevent Firefox from displaying on the non-existant 2nd screen?

When I am out of my office using my laptop, upon launching Firefox, it displays all of the tabs from the previous session on the non-existent extra monitor which is set up as a screen extention for when I am in my office. All of the other programs that I park on the extra monitor (Outlook for example) display on the laptop's screen when the extra monitor is not attached. Is this a bug? Or, must I not save my open tabs when exiting Firefox if I am going to use the laptop w/o the monitor?

Thanks for your suggestion. I sort of came to that conclusion as I was typing the original question. However if there is anyone out there who has a solution that is not dependent on my remembering to do something before I exit Firefox, it will be welcomed.

Outlook 2013 asks for credentials but does not connect for Exchange email, but only when out of office

Hi,
New employee wishes to use his Office 365. Have loaded onto new PC, connected to exchange, loaded his folders, everything is fine.
When he leaves the office and connects at home, he is asked for credentials.
I have tried the usual credentials: [email protected] and domain\user
With each attempt, Outlook displays disconnected
The password is correct, OWA he can log on fine, he has no problem when returning to the office. He has all the correct permissions in AD.
No other user has a problem when away from the office, but every other user is using Office 2010
Advice appreciated.

Hi,
Please make sure the user has enable Outlook Anywhere in Outlook.
To turn on Outlook Anywhere, on the Connection tab, under
Outlook Anywhere, check Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP, and then click
Exchange Proxy Settings. Your Exchange admin must enable this feature and provide you the proxy settings. For more information, please refer:

Project Server 2013 - Out of Office Sync - Only two months in future?!?

Hello there guys,
after Long Long search for the problem, I've found out that our Project Server 2013 only syncs the out of Office time from our Exchange Calendar for the next two months.
But for our Project planning we Need of course a more longtime synchronization, at least 6 or better 12 months.
I didnt find any Option where I could set it to sync more then 2 months of the out of Office times in the calendars.
I've spent already so much time on this Problem... When I set the Project Server time 2 weeks(!) in the future, then the sync will also sync two more weeks in the future, but not more.
The timesheet periods are also set for the next 12 month.
Does anybody have an Information/help regarding this Problem for me?
How can I set the Out of Office sync to synchronize more then just 2 months?
THANK YOU VERY MUCh!!
Regards
Lukas Meyer
PS: Using the current October 2013 CU.

I've searched the Verbose Log and found the following:
12/17/2013 14:38:16.32 Microsoft.Office.Project.Server (0x0928) 0x1A6C Project Server Exchange Sync aaubf Verbose PWA:https://servername/PWA, ServiceApp:Project Server-Dienstanwendung, User:PROJECTSERVER\system,
PSI: Calling service.GetUserAvailability() for user:2c3909bc-d6fb-e211-b239-000c296be823 for period:12/17/2013 00:00:00-02/17/2014 00:00:00, LogLevelManager Warning-ulsID:0x00014045 has no entities explicitly specified. 3a2f619c-f4a0-f018-b62b-b2d1299a489f
So the Project Server is only asking for two months of User Availability on the Exchange. Where can I Change this Setting so that the Project Server syncs more then 2 months?
Otherwise this functionality is quite useless in my view as we are planning our Projects longer then only 2 months...
Thank you!

I've had a problem with syncing itunes, when i sync it dosent sync songs previously deleted it just greys them out, which is great but if i want to add a new video or song from my computer it wont sync it will just grey out and wont play. now all my songs

ive had a problem syncing with itunes recently. when i delete a song on my iphone when i sync with my computer it still syncs but just greys out and is rendered useless. thats great unless i when i want to add new music or videos from my pc to my iphone it wont sync and will just grey out. i looked for solutions and one said that deleteing all your music from the usage in settings would fix it, well now when i sync all of my music is greyed out. ive tried adding all of my songs manually into my ipod instead of syncing entire library and nothing. (also when i select to sync music nothing shows up in the usage bar (normally 3 gigs) might help) could someone please help?

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

Exchange 2013 - Out of office unavailable when shared mailboxes added in

Good Morning all,
I have a strange issue with our MS Exchange 2013 environment concerning out of office.
When certain users try and access the OOO it gives them the below error message:
"Out
Of Office cannot be display because the server is currently unavailable"
As I mentioned, this is not affecting all users, here comes the strange part(I think so anyway)
The users in question have a shared mailbox added, if I remove the mailbox VIA ECP / Outlook client, out of office begins to work, once I add the mailbox back in, everything works, until the next day or some sort of refresh takes place and then OOO becomes
unavailable again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
San.

Did you recently installed windows update?
If yes, then check this, see if it applies by uninstalling the update.

OWA logs user out when they try to set an Out Of Office Message

After upgrading to Exchange 2013 users can no longer set their Out Of Office (via OWA option 'Set Automatic Replies'). When a user tries to do so via OWA they are immediately logged out and get the error message "The user name or password you entered
isn't correct. Try entering it again."
We are currently on CU3, not sure if the problem was introduced in Exchange 2013 initially or once CU3 was applied.
Users see the same behavior when they try to check a Message Delivery Report via OWA.

Out of office message when sending mail to Lotus Notes from SAP

Hi,
Is it possible to have an 'out of office' message when sending mail to Lotus Notes from SAP?
I'm sending account statements by mail via a modified version of function FI_OPT_ARCHIVE_CORRESPONDENCE. The SAP username is send as a parameter, and later converted to the e-mail saved in the user profile. This works, - but I would like to have an out of office reply if the user I send to is out of office.
Hope someone can help...
Regards,
Lene

As Thomas pointed out, you can use regular SMTP mail to send the contents to Lotus Notes. You can use the function module SO_OBJECT_SEND or any of the SAP Office function modules to do this.
Only thing to remember is that the SMTP may have been disabled by your basis team due to security risks involved. An alternative could be a lotus notes connector available from IBM.

Users can't sign in to the Lync when they out of office!

All users in office they can signed - in well but when they moved out of office or anywhere in the world they can't sign-in even they have internet connection so is it require to configure some else on MS Lync server 2013 or on MX record, forwarding port
in router, Etc.. ?
please comment / advice !
Regards,
Sambath

Hi,
For external accessing with Lync, you need to deploy an Edge Server in DMZ zone.
You can refer to the link of “Installing Lync 2013 Edge Server” to help you deploy Edge server:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/16931.installing-lync-2013-edge-server.aspx
If you want to login with mobility, no matter internal or external, you need to deploy a Reverse Proxy in DMZ zone.

Screen phases in/out when saving MS Office docs

I just downloaded Yosemite Sunday night 3/8/15, and the screen tends to phase in/out when saving MS Office documents. My Mac tends to run extremely slow when saving, and deciding where to save the file. I've never had a problem with this before.
I'm using Macbook Pro early 2011, 16GB, 256 Solid State Drive. Never had a problem with this before.

If you can hear the HD spin up, then it is, indeed, sleeping and it's got to wake up before it can get busy. In Energy Saver preferences, do you have Put HD to sleep when possible checked? Does this happen whether the target file is on the internal or external drives or only the external? And if it happens when the file is on the internal, does it happen if the external is disconnected or powered off? Finally, did either the enclosure or the HD come with software to control it and did you install it?
I've seen a few brands of external drives spin down when they haven't been accessed for a while and that's sometimes built into the drive's firmware. Some manufacturers offer software to defeat that so you might check to see if WD does. But external enclosures aren't always ventilated properly so running the drive all the time could get it pretty hot (Seagate used to do that and required that spin down to keep from getting cooked).

OneNote file cannot be synced because Check-in Check-Out or Required Properties are enabled in the SharePoint library

Hi All,
As per my requirement, I have a Document Library that's set to YES for "Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited" and i have created a Document Set inside this Document Library.Document set is configured
to create a OneNote document content type within it. When i am creating a OneNote document I am getting below mentioned Error while trying to sync.
This section cannot be synced because Check-in Check-Out or Required Properties are enabled in the SharePoint library. Disable Check-In Check-Out and Required Properties or move this notebook to a different location. (Error code: 0xE000078E)
Is there any settings that i can do without modifying Document Library Settings.
I just try out the information given on below mentioned U, but No Luck.

Can anyone of you suggest me the best way to achieve this?
Thanks in Advance!

Have you looked specifically at the Title field? That's a common offender. It might also be worth activating Content Type management on your library, so you can inspect each of the fields in the content type that's being saved too

Out of office UI?

Hi,
I've just installed this patch:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-139162-01-1
Which, among other things, it says:
6646791 Outlook connector to implement its own UI for Out-of-Office functionality.
I applied the patch and rebuilt the connector. When doing a diff of the new .ini file and a previous one, I find two new variables:
Use_UWC_Url=0
ExpungeOnDelete=0
So I deleted the existing profile and reinstalled with the new .exe. But I'm still being redirected to the uwc URL when trying to set the out of office message. Does someone know if this feature is really implemented in the patched connector?
Thanks,
n.

Out of Office error: 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.'

Hi,
This is my first post in the forums. Please forgive me if it's in the wrong category or if it's not posted correctly in any way.
I'll try and give you below as much information about the problem we have here as I can.
What we have:
- an on-premises Windows 2012 Standard server that is the PDC, DNS and DHCP server;
- a second Windows 2012 Standard server with the sole purpose of hosting our Exchange 2013 CU7 server;
- Windows 7 PCs with Office Home and Business 2010 v.14.0.7143.5000 (32-bit);
- Outlook 2010 connects through Outlook Anywhere (mail.ourdomain.com).
The problem:
If trying to set up Out of Office through Outlook on the client PCs, we'd get an error message: 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.' Interestingly, it does work normally for some users.
It works fine for all users if done through OWA.
Tests performed:
User 1 on PC1 has the problem. User 2 on PC2 doesn't have the problem. Both users are members of the same security groups.
- setting up User 2 on PC 1: the problem exists;
- setting up User 1 on PC 2: the problem exists;
- setting up a second Outlook profile on PC2 within User 2's domain account (the one that works), for the same User 2: the problem still exists!
I haven't been able to set up an Outlook account that works since this issue was discovered, although there are existing Outlook accounts that do not have the issue.
Let me also point out we have another issue we are working on and which may or may not be related: the Autodiscover function in Outlook doesn't work. Test E-mail AutoConfiguration results in 'Autoconfiguration was unable to determine your settings!'.
I can see postings in the Internet of other people having the same problem with OoO, but couldn't see a solution that fits my case: some existing accounts in Outlook are fine, other are not and newly created profiles of aforementioned working accounts do not
work. The majority of the articles/threads I read suggest recreating the Virtual Directories in Exchange, but we did that just a month ago (when troubleshooting the Autodiscover problem) and besides if the problem is in the Virtual Directories, I would expect
it to affect all accounts.
Any help in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need other details.
Apologies if the posting is not in the right place or not done properly - I'm still learning.

The IIS log files on the CAS might tell you something. Depending on how your proxy server handles NAT the IP address of your connection might be from the proxy server instead of your client.
In any case, a tool like Fiddler (http://www.telerik.com/fiddler) can be extremely helpful in working on problems like this because it can decode the SSL traffic on the client and you can see what's being sent
and what's being received.
Another thing to check (although it's unlikely to be your case) is whether or not your browser (when you try connecting to the autodiscover URL) thinks it's in the "Internet" zone. the "Local intranet", or at a "Trusted" site.
The domain names you use on machines on your LAN should be excluded from being proxyed. Anything with "." in the name will be set, unless excluded, to the proxy server.
Is the time correct on the client machine? Is it more than 5 minutes different to the Exchange machines and domain controllers? That'd be something that would cause Kerberos to fail.
A certificate can be a problem if its expired or if it doesn't have the correct names. But I wouldn't worry about the uglog.com domain just yet. Until you get the Autodiscover working with the SCP you have bigger problems.
If you've never used a WPAD file then don't worry about it. It's very useful if you have a complex network and you want to manage how browsers connect to servers. For example, if you have multiple proxy servers the each manage a different set of names, an/or
if some names should bypass proxy servers entirely and just connect directly. If run a strictly Microsoft network with only Microsoft product that you can manage with GPOs (and you can enforce those GPOs on every machine -- even the BYOD ones) you probably
don't need a WPAD.
