Outlook to Sharepoint Synchronization

Hi all,

I'm using Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 64bit.

My company uses a hosted Sharepoint server (I guess it's Sharepoint 2010). There's a team calendar, which I would like to connect to my Outlook 2010. Linking it to Outlook works fine until it tries to update the calendar with the Sharepoint server. I shows the following error:

Error (0x80070005) when running the task "SharePoint": "You are not authorized to view the SharePoint list (team calendar). Contact the administrator of SharePoint site. HTTP 401."

So this tells me, I'm not authorized to connect - which is quite clear because Outlook never asked my for any username or password.

Funny thing is when I try to add an internet calendar (Right mouse click on calendars, Add calendar, Internet calendar) and use the url of the sharepoint list, it asks me for username and password, but then fails to add the calendar, as it isn't a webcal (which is OK).

BUT: As Outlook at this moment has the username and password, the exisiting Sharepoint calendar synchronizes correctly. This works until Outlook is being restarted.

Does anyone have an idea why I'm not asked for any authentication? Maybe there's some setting I haven't found yet? It works with trying to add the webcal any time when I start Outlook, but t

Hey All,

Is it possible to upload from Outlook Calendar to SharePoint, or just using SharePoint Calendar sync with Outlook Calendar to be Read only?

Can anyone recommend a basic howto guide for setting this up?

Thanks

I've created a custom list in sharepoint 2007.  I used the people picker option by selecting (Person or Group) for the type of information in this column.  In the additional column settings there is a show field drop down that contains various information you can display for the user.  Problem 1 : I select a person from the people picker on the form page, the result would display Last Name, First Name even though I selected Work Email in the show field drop down while creating the column.  However it displays properly on the custom list after saving the form.  Is there a way to change the display on the edit page? Problem 2:  I would like to auto populate fields.  Is there a way I could auto populate the list or edit form based off an employee ID such as department local etc.  All this information is in outlook but it doesn't seem to be accessable through sharepoint OTB. I created the list through sharepoint OTB on a team site and I'm using SharePoint Designer to create work flows. Thanks for the help!

I want to add Calendar of Exchange in Sharepoint 2010. Does Sharepoint 2010 work with Exchange 2003? Thanks.

Hello I want our users to be able to make meetings in sharepoint and see it directly in their personal calendar, also when other users subscribe and unsubcribe it should be seen in their personal calendar. I know its possible to "Link/Connect with outlook" but this makes a new "Other Calendar" which u can put side to side with your own calender. I would like to have it directly imported into my personal outlook calendar.  Is there any known information , links about this?

I have created a Calendar in Sharepoint for booking out company vehicles. The fields I have created are: Vehicle (Choice), Driver (User/Group), Start & End Times, Title (text), DisplayField (Calculated text based on Vehicle + Title...... it would be nice to include Driver but it seems Sharepoint cannot handle the User/Group datatype in a calculated field.....but I digress). I use the DisplayField calculated field in my default calendar view in Sharepoint. All is good at this point. When one connects it to Outlook (via the Action menu in Sharepoint) the calendar is added but all the entries show only the Title field. If I double click on an entry, only the title field appears - the Vehicle and Driver values are missing. When I try to create a new entry - only the Title field (plus other default Outlook fields) are available. So: How can one display a value other than Title by default, and how can I display the other columns when looking at the event detail?

We have sharepoint 2010 ent installed and have a bunch of shared calendars on it for our users.  We are able to successfully connect the calendars to outlook 2010, but everytime outlook is launched it asks, at least once, for a username and password to connect to the sharepoint server(but it brings up the IP address of the sharepoint server, not the URL).  NTLM authentication is enabled on the sharepoint server and if I go to the sharepoint url, it picks up on my username.  We had sharepoint services 3.0 installed previously and using shared calendars, it didn't do this.  Any thoughts?

I have a calendar on our SharePoint site that Ihave connected into outlook using the Connect to outlook button   For some reason the send and receive gets stuck on 70%.   OS: Vista Business  Office 2007 SP2 Exchange 2003 I exported the calendar out of sharepoint into a access DB and noticed some blank entries so I deleted them. I opened outlook and the send and receive got stuck at 85% I have disabled all add-ins and still will not get passed 85% It just seems to be a problem with one just user   I have also reloaded Vista and Office 2007   I have also enabled out logging here is my OPMlog     2010.09.04 09:20:08 <<<< Logging Started (level is LTF_TRACE) >>>> 2010.09.04 09:20:08 HELPER::Initialize called 2010.09.04 09:20:08 Initializing: Finding a Transport 2010.09.04 09:20:08 MAPI XP Call: XPProviderInit in EMSMDB.DLL, hr = 0x00000000 2010.09.04 09:20:08 MAPI XP Call: TransportLogon, hr = 0x8004011d 2010.09.04 09:20:08 MAPI XP Call: Shutdown, hr = 0x00000000 2010.09.04 09:20:08 MAPI XP Call: XPProviderInit in EMSMDB.DLL, hr = 0x00000000 2010.09.04 09:20:08 MAPI Status: (-- -- ---/--- -- ---) 2010.09.04 09:20:08 MAPI XP Call: TransportLogon, hr = 0x00000000 2010.09.04 09:20:08 Initializing: Found a transport, Error code = 0x00000000 2010.09.04 09:20:08 MAPI XP Call: AddressTypes, hr = 0x00000000, cAddrs = 3, cUids = 1 2

Hello,   my project manager wants to have all the meetings he creates on sharepoint automaticly visible into his personal outlook. No fancy overlay or 2e calendar, he wants it all in 1 Calendar. What woudl be the best way to develop this? I was thinking of a reusable workflow/action which inserted the data with Exchange web services. would this be the best/fasterst way ?   thanks for reading, Andy

Changes made (meeting time and location) in outlook meeting not being reflected in the linked sharepoint meeting workspace.  Sending changes results in emails to attendees being returned as undeliverable and no changes on the sharepoint side. Looking for ideas as to what may be causing the problem.

Hi, How to link to outlook mail in sharepoint 2010? Thanks

Dear all.. I'm looking for a solution to achieve the following.. We're preparing a solution for a law firm. They're using Sharepoint server 2010 as document management system. The thing is that for example they upload a recently scanned document to sharepoint, and maybe they have to take it to the judge in 14 days.. So the user would like to have some easy way to set a reminder, so he gets in his local Outlook a reminder in 14 days with a link to the document. Also it would be nice to be able to set a reminder for a Document library, as the customer opens a new Document library for each case, and sometimes they want reminder for a single document, and sometimes for the whole case (Document library) Any easy way to have this functionality?? Thanks..  Regards..

I have a few users that are looking for a better way to send documents to recipients outside the organization from SharePoint 2007.  The company's policy is to try to use Metadata rather than folders in the document libraries.  Unfortunately these custom columns are not displayed in Outlook 2007 and there are hundreds of files in each of the libraries.  This makes it a little challenging to locate the files to be attached to an email.  I see that there is an add-in from Colligo that may help but I'm wondering if there is another way without the purchase of add-ins or other products.  Any ideas?

Can we edit delete and send emails through sharepoint like in outlook?

Does the feature to creat a meeting workspace from Outlook's calendar exist in SharePoint Server 2010?

Hi Guys, I hope you can give me a hand on this. I am having a synchronization issue and it has me puzzled.  I have my moss server up and running without any issue.  It is even being used by departments already…which is great…documents are being uploaded…my sites created…department pages…etc.  Around mid-July I set up the user synchronization with AD…which worked fine.  I was able to set up profile synching without any issues…  The issue I am having now is that the profile syncing is no longer running for some reason.  When I click on Configure Synchronization connections, my old connection isn’t there anymore…so I click new and get the following message.   "Cannot navigate to the requested page while user profile synchronization is running.  Please wait for the current Synchronization to finish"   when i check my Profile Sync Settings, i see that User profile sync is not currently provisioned...and the incremental sync schedule is disabled.   And when I check the running jobs…I do not have any jobs running.   And finally, when I check the services running on the MOSS server, my User Profile Synchronization Service is sitting on stopped…and when I click start…it stays on starting for about 15 mins…and then goes back to stopped
