Hello,

We are testing exchange 2013 with outlook 2011 for mac and outlook 2010 for windows. We have 700 mac users.
I create a new account, give it a mailbox and lync enabled. On the windows test machines there is no problem for lync or outlook. All the users are added after a while.
For mac, the users are visible in lync after a while but for outlook 2011 this is not the case.
When i force a full OAB download like told in "http://blogs.technet.com/b/neiljohn/archive/2012/03/23/forcing-a-full-oab-download-in-outlook-2011.aspx" this is working. The users get a new "updated" file.
Naturally this is not a solution for 700 users.

I think the config of my exchange 2013 environment is ok because on windows i have no problem. Are there people who have found a solution for this ?
I searched the net, found a lot of people facing the same problem but no solution discovered yet.

Regards

I tried to submit this before but it didn't seem to lodge. I have a main doc in Word and a list with names, emails and amounts in Excel 2011. I did a successful merge to a PDF for review, and then tried to merge to Outlook email. I did a merge of the whole file, and Outlook kept aborting. I completely uninstalled Office Mac 2011 following Microsoft instruction, and reinstalled. I did a 1 record merge to Outlook and got the error message below. The emails in the Excel file are all OK; it was created by saving a Word file as CSV text, then opening it in Excel.


Any advice welcome.

I organize myself by scheduling a sizable number of "all-day appointments" in my Outlook for Mac. Everyday at the office, I open up these appointments, one at a time, read the notes that I've left there, and follow up with clients, projects, colleagues, etc. When I'm done, I reschedule those appointments for some TBD date in the future to remind me to follow up, take the next step, etc.

Every day at 9am exactly, about 85% of tommorrow's all-day appointments pop over to today. If I am using Outlook at exactly 9am, I can actually see them move over from tomorrow to today right in front of my eyes. As I mentioned, this doesn't happen to every single "all-day appointment", only about 85% of them. A few usually stay put and remain properly scheduled for tomorrow like they're supposed to.

On any given day, if I create a new all-day appointment for the next day, after about 15 seconds or so, it will automatically pop over to today. The same thing happens for multi-day all-day events as well. Let's say for example, I'm planning a trip from Friday through Sunday, and enter it in as an all-day event spanning from Friday through Sunday. On Thursday, the day before the trip at 9am, the whole event will shift over to show that it is now running from Thursday through Saturday.

A couple additional points of note that might have an effect on this, or might not.
  • I have my Outlook for Mac set to sync with my iCal (for the purpose of syncing calendars to my iPhone and iPad)
  • Whenever these events "pop over" to the day prior, the appointment also automatically sets an alarm all by itself for 15 hours. (I usually create these appointments without any alarm). Along these lines, if I were to create an all-day appointment for tomorrow, in about 15 seconds, it will pop over to today, and the alarm will automatically go off.
Any ideas what's up with this? Anything I can do to make it stop?
I know how to attach my vcd card to specific emails.  Is there a way it is automatically included in all emails?
I have an old Office for MAC 2011 Outlook identity with lots of messages I need to urgently access, can anyone help as a matter of urgency?

I have read that if I change the file .olk14MsgSource to .eml I can then drag into a current identity, although I have no idea how to do this and cannot find out by searching on the net either.

I have the following script that worked fine in an other identity but not in a new one.  Anybody has a clue.

I either get a message: Microsoft Outlook got an error: can't make a class outgoing message

or 

The script acts only on already send messages

Here is the script.


-- Resend Message v1.0 (2010-10-27)

-- an applescript by Barry Wainwright <mailto:*** Email address is removed for privacy ***>

-- Restores the 'Resend' function that was in Entourage but never made it to Outlook

-- when the script is run, with a sent message selected or open, a new copy of the 

--    message will be created, with all the original recipients and attachements and

I'm using Automator to create a new email using Outlook for Mac 2011. Within Automator, it gives me a place to enter To, Cc, Bcc, Subject, Message, etc. However, I'm having problems with the actual message text. No matter how I enter the message into the Automator action, it looses all format when the action is run and a new email is created.

For example in Automator, I will have the message text be something like:

"Paragraph1 with a bunch of text

Paragraph2 with a bunch of text

Best regards,
Name"


Once the action is run, the new email in outlook looks like this:

"Paragraph1 with a bunch of text Paragraph2 with a bunch of text Best regards, Name"

Everything is on one line. It looses all paragraph breaks and formatting. Does anyone have any ideas to fix this? I tested this using Mac Mail and it doesn't have this problem. Must be something with Outlook.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
How do I make Mac office outlook 2011 default to calendar instead of email upon opening?
