Unable to Share contacts between two specific users in Outlook 2013/Exchange

My brother is trying to share his contacts with his associate, and she is trying to share them back. He managed to right-click on his contacts folder and send out the invitation. She successfully accepted the invitation, and she also accepted his request
for her to share her contacts with him. When the email arrived, we clicked on OPEN, but we received an error stating that the shared folder could not be opened.
We tried with another employee, and we could share my brother's contacts with him, and he could share his contacts with my brother. Likewise, he was able to share his contacts with the associate, and the associate could share her contacts back with the employee.
I am not sure what to do now.
We made sure that the associate either manually entered the address for my brother, or she clicked on TO and found the address in the global address list. She did NOT begin to type and then accept the suggested address (we are aware that this will cause
sharing to fail).
What else can we try? Are there any procedures to determine what the current problem is?
Thank you.

Hi,
Please make sure the Contact folder permissions are set correctly between these two users. Then we can use the following steps to open the shared contact:
1. Open Outlook and switch to People/Contact Navigation Pane.
2. Click Open Shared Contact in Ribbon.
3. Type the user name who have shared Contact folder to this user or directly click Name button to select the user.
4. Click OK to open the shared folder.
Then the shared contact folder can be listed under your Contact folder list.

  • Unable to share a folder with specific users

    Hi,
    I'm attempting a seemingly simple task on my home network of 4 computers. I want to share a folder located on one computer, called PC1, with another computer called PC2 with full read/write permission. All other machines on the network are not to have access
    to this folder. Both machines are running Windows 7.
    On PC2, I am able to see the shared folder under Networks but if I try to open it, I keep getting a 'You do not have permission to access...' error. The following are the steps I've taken to set up the network share.
    Both machines are on the same workgroup.
    Both machines are on the home network, not work/public.
    Turned off homegroup on both machines in Advanced Networking Properties by selecting "Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers".
    Created a standard non-admin user account on PC1 that has the same username/password as the admin login used to log into PC2.
    On PC1, right-clicked the folder I want to share and added the above user account to both the Sharing and Security tabs.
    Removed the Everyone group in PC1 from both the Sharing and Security tab for the shared folder.
    If I am missing a step, please let me know. I have noticed that if I add  the Everyone group back to the Sharing and Security tab for the shared folder on PC1, I am able to have full access from PC2. However, since I want to restrict access
    to this folder to only one machine, I didn't want to have the Everyone group listed.

  • Email transfer between two specific users fails

    The email transfer two particular user fails. O(ne is assigned to POP3 and the other one to IMAP

    So from your point of view:
    You get email from sender.
    you open it to read.
    you click on 'Reply'
    Are the FROM and TO email addresses auto entered correctly?
    you complete the email and click on 'Send' button.
    A copy is placed in your 'Sent folder - confirm ?
    you do not receive any message saying undelivered etc.
    Do you have this issue with ant other email you send or is it only to that person ?
    Do you get the same issue if you use 'Write' not 'Reply' and create a new message to the recipient?

  • Unable to share files between two macs

    I'm trying to setup my iMac and my wife's iMac to share files through an Airport Extreme base station. I turned file sharing on on both computers and I can now see my wife's computer in the sidebar of the finder window. It says "Not connected' in the top part of the window. When I click on the "Connect As.." button, I'm asked for a username and password. I tried my own username and password, I tried my wife's username and password but nothing works. Everywhere I look for instructions, there is no mention of passwords, even in Apple's own "Mac 101: File Sharing" (#HT1549).
    Any help would be appreciated!

    I think I figured out the solution. I created a sharing account on my computer and added this account to the "Users" list in the Sharing Preferences pane. Now my wife can have access to my computer by entering the username and password for this new account. I don't know if this the right way to do it, but it works.

  • How do I share contacts between separate users on the SAME Mac?

    I need help with an issue that came up today. A client asked me to put all her friend's names and addresses into her contacts.  After entering all the names into the address book I realized that I had entered them all into her husband's contacts, as his user ID was logged on when I opened the computer.  I now need to find a way to export/transfer/copy all those entries to a separate contacts/address book on the SAME Mac?  Anyone have a simple solution?

    Hello Whigged-out,
    It sounds like you would like to share one library between two different users on your iMac.  I found an article with steps you can take to accomplish this:

  • Sharing data between two separate user sessions

    Hi all!
    I have been trawling my brain for a solution to this - any help will be appreciated!
    I would like to create a single instance of a class but share that instance over more than one user session (two separate users but both running concurrently).
    Just as you can pass data between sessions using ABAP memory - I would like to pass data (specifically an object reference) between two separate users that could even be logged in to two separate application servers...
    Even a mini Client/server solution would suffice but I cannot figure one out!
    Is this possible?
    Many thanks for your thoughts in advance...
    N

    Hello N K,
    sorry thats not possible. Sharing a data item / object instance requires at least a common physical memory. As this is not guaranteed between different app. server this is technical not possible.
    With release 640 ABAP offers the new feature Shared Objects. These mechanism allows access by different users and some propagation to differnt servers.There is an interesting article on the ABAP SDN homepage
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/abap.sdn
    For relases below more or less the database is the only chance to store data accross application servers (known to me). One exception might be the ENQUEUES which might (mis)used to store some Flags.
    Kind Regards
    Klaus

  • How do I share files between two Macs on my wireless network?

    I have an iMac G4 and an ibook G3 on a wireless network. I have "file sharing" activated on both computers. (Also Appletalk, which may or may not be a misguided move, but I got the idea from OSX "Help.")
    When I try to get from either computer onto the other, my computer is recognized by name (another alternative is to log on as a "guest"). I'm prompted for a password. None of the passwords I use works. I've tried the administrative passwords for both computers.
    How do I get beyond this hurdle to share files? I've posted elsewhere to no avail. This must be an easy one. How do you share files between two macs on one network?

    Do your accounts on the machines have the same short name? It's an issue I've seen a few names.. one machine with bsmith, the other with bobsmith, but the long names for both being "Bob Smith". The login windows would confuse users because it showed their names, but because the short names didn't match, it wouldn't work.
    The password you should use is the administrative one, so I don't know why you're not having luck.

  • Why did I have to enable Windows File Sharing to share files between two Mavericks iMacs?

    File Sharing failed between my Mavericks iMacs.  The console logs showed that the target iMac saw the ntlmv2 protocol as unknown to the kdc.  I fixed it by enabling Windows File Sharing on the target Mavericks iMac.  I had tried disabling SMB on both iMacs and leaving AFP on, but then nothing happened when I tried to connect.  Why did I have to enable Windows File Sharing to share files between two Mavericks iMacs?

    When you enable file sharing you need to have either SMB (Windows) or AFP (historically Apple-native) file sharing checked. The default in Mavericks is SMB, and not AFP.
    If you uncheck both, then the system will turn off file sharing. Apple supports the use of both SMB and AFP connections in Mavericks, so with only AFP enabled you should have been able to establish a connection, but there could be a small bug or configuration-specific snafu that you're encountering.
    With AFP enabled only, try pressing Command-K in the Finder to open the Connect To Server dialogue, and in here enter the address to the system using afp:// as the protocol, such as the following (the name can be looked up in the Sharing system preferences):
    afp://my_imac.local

  • Sync contacts between two account iCloud

    Hi everyone,
    Me and my wife both have iphone. We usually used just one iCloud account, so we had shared calendar, contacts etc. etc. which is very useful for us.
    Since Siri has arrived it begun to create troubles with the contacts, because the contact marked as "me" is the same for both iphones, so on my iphone siri calls me with the name of my wife...
    Now with the new "family" function with iOS 8 i can finally separate the iCloud accounts on our iphones, and still have the same apps, calendar etc. on both of them.
    My problem is with the contacts, we would like to keep the same contacts on both iphones and synched, but i can't do that with the "family" function.
    Anyone can suggest me a way to sync contacts between two account iCloud selecting which information to share?
    Thanks

    Thanks. You said: "When you setup iCloud the On my Mac contacts should've been moved to iCloud I think (can't remember what happened in my case)."
    Actually that does not happen, or at least it didn't happen to me.

  • How can I share data between two forms on different lists

    Using a custom content type, I created two lists that I want to share the same data - one is a calendar.  Our employees complete a form from the "Out of Office Request" list that has workflow functionality that sends an email to that person's
    manager.  If the manager approves the request, the item automatically populates the "Out of Office Calendar."  The problem is that the only information from the request list that populates the calendar is the Title field and date/time fields. 
    I need the manager name in order to create a view for each manager.  
    How can I connect the other information in the request list to the calendar list.  It seems to me that if the title and date fields carry over the information, there should be a way to connect the other information.  I'm using Designer.
    I've tried to connect the two lists' webparts with the wizard, but when I get to the page that maps the two lists, there are no column names and the "Next >" button is grayed out.  This seems like the logical place to connect the two lists,
    but it isn't working.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted share data between two forms on different lists.
    To show external  information on the calendar event, there are two methods: Calculated column, workflow. You can refer to:
    A Simple Guide to Show More Information on a Calendar Event
    I recommend to use workflow to achieve what you want. But you need to create a people column to display the manager.
    You can create a workflow associated to the "Out of Office Request" list, add action to Start Approve Process. If the manager approves the request, you can create a item in the calendar, and then update the people column and the title column.
    Then the calendar will display the Title, date/time and the manager.
    To create a view for each manager, you need to modify the Filter. You can use the people column is equal to the manager name or the Title contains the manager name.
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • External mail can't get to two specific users

    I don't know if this is the correct forum to ask this question. If not, I apologize.

    Where do I look next?
