Calendar Entries after 2002
Here's a teaser... Our users can't access their colleagues calendar information in 2002. When they attempt to arrange a meeting, they receive an errmsg that there is no information available for other attendees. Does anyone have any thoughts on what could be causing this?

Check the client's free/busy - normally it is only published for 6 months. Not sure if that would generate an error but something that might be interesting to research.

RE: Calendar Entries after 2002
Bingo! Thanks Steve, it was defaulted at 2 months. Which brings me neatly to question 2: Is there any way of changing that setting for all users, either by SMS'ing a new config settings out, or through Ex Admin? With 2500 users I'd rather not have to change them individually...

RE: Calendar Entries after 2002
We added the following lines to our logon scripts (it is a reg value that needs to be changed): %0\..\REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Preferences /v FBPublishRange /t REG_DWORD /d 0x000c /f %0\..\REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Preferences /v FBUpdateSecs /t REG_DWORD /d 0x0384 /f (wrappage, etc value may need to be tweaked for Outlook versions other than 2K) PublishRange is the number of months in hexadecimal (c=12 months) and UpdateSecs is the number of seconds between updates (hexadecimal). For accounts where no one logs in (like a conference room), you will need to log into NT under that account, and manually set those options via the Outlook GUI. * * Erik Sojka, MOS, MCSE * * Manager, Network Services * * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * -Original Message- From: Boswell Tim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 8:45 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Calendar Entries after 2002 Bingo!

RE: Calendar Entries after 2002
fantastic - that makes life a lot easier! Now I have a fix that can be implemented in 10 minutes, but will actually take 2 weeks because of the management red tape that has to be gone through before I can change a login script :o) Thanks people Tim -Original Message- From: Erik Sojka [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 November 2001 13:49 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Calendar Entries after 2002 We added the following lines to our logon scripts (it is a reg value that needs to be changed): %0\..\REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Preferences /v FBPublishRange /t REG_DWORD /d 0x000c /f %0\..\REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Preferences /v FBUpdateSecs /t REG_DWORD /d 0x0384 /f (wrappage, etc value may need to be tweaked for Outlook versions other than 2K) PublishRange is the number of months in hexadecimal (c=12 months) and UpdateSecs is the number of seconds between updates (hexadecimal).
