We ran into this same issue whilst also discovering some insane calendaring practices in some of the offices on campus. We found users who had 40+ people sharing/updating their calendar and other users who “needed” to monitor 50+ calendars. We also found some users (often users in leadership positions) that used secretaries as their free/busy tool (i.e. they would have the secretaries do a conference call to pick a meeting time and then all of them would individually add it to their boss’ calendar). Crazy stuff.
In any event, the solution for us is to have users put their personal mailbox in cached mode but leave the shared mailboxes in online mode. -jim James Rupprecht Senior Systems Specialist Microsoft Exchange & Active Directory Administrator University of Kansas Information Technology From: Damien Solodow [mailto:damien.solo...@harrison.edu] Sent: Monday, August 22, 2011 10:45 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Outlook cached mode & shared calendars I’ve got a number of users reporting issues with delegate calendars being out of date. For example, user Bob has Editor access to the Calendars of John and Sue. Bob selects those Calendars in Outlook (since he’s used them before they’re under Shared Calendars) and they display, but purportedly the information in them is inaccurate and out of date. In most of the cases I’ve seen, if I select the shared Calendar and tell Outlook to “Update this Folder” it refreshes with new data. What I’m trying to sort out is why Outlook isn’t keeping that folder refreshed automatically. The servers are Exchange 2010 SP1 RU4 rev2, and the clients are XP with a mix of Outlook 2007 SP2 and Outlook 2010. Outlook is configured to use Cached Mode, and “download Shared Folders” is enabled. Outlook is set to “Download Full Items” but “On Slow Connections only download headers” is enabled as well. I’m continuing to dig, but was hoping someone had encountered this and had a solution to share to save me some hair. ☺ TIA DAMIEN SOLODOW Systems Engineer 317.447.6033 (office) 317.447.6014 (fax) HARRISON COLLEGE 500 North Meridian St Suite 500 Indianapolis, IN 46204-1213 www.harrison.edu --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
