Calendar: Sync or view own Free/Busy

M

Mark Powell

I am able to get my email and use LDAP. In Calendar I can view other
people's free/busy schedule when setting up a meeting, but I cannot
view my own free/busy by default. Nor does my calendar sync with the
Exchange server. I can accept appointments but the free/busy
information does not update on the Exchange server. In a new meeting
request, if I add myself, I can view my free/busy on the second line,
but the first line is grayed out with "No information." If I schedule
a meeting with myself, it syncs with the Exchange server and I can
view it with Window's Outlook. How do I get it to sync my free/busy
time without having to add myself to every meeting?

I feel your pain. I got the free/busy worked out by pointed an ssl
connection at the correct server, but my local Entourage calendar/contacts
STILL won't sync with Exchange.

Hiya. I was stuck at this point for a while. The config change that
did it for me was under Account Settings | email address: I had to
enter the name of my Exchange account, rather than my actual email
address. Use the name you'd enter in the username field when logging
in with OWA or Outlook (your domain username). After making this
change my calendar and contacts automagically started syncing, crazily
enough.

The bad part is, Entourage seems to use this field as your reply-to
address, and in my case, that domain username doesn't work as a
reply-to address. If anyone has worked around this, I'd be interested
to read what you did.
