Syncing From Entourage to Exchange

E

Eric Schweitzer

I just moved to an Exchange account and am using Entourage 11.2.3 to access
it. Most functions seem to be working fine.

The one trouble I'm having is moving contacts and calendar events from
Entourage to the Exchange server. It looks like there are no syncing options
for this -- it's supposed to happen automatically. However, I still see the
contacts and events in Entourage. But, the calendar and contacts under the
Exchange server are empty.

Does anyone know if this is supposed to happen automatically? Thanks.

Entourage maintains separate a local "On My Computer" calendar and the
calendar on your Exchange server. They do not sync. You can move events from
your local calendar to the Exchange calendar by opening them and choosing
"Move To" from the Event menu. You can also drag directly from one
calendar's display onto another in the list. If you need to move a lot of
Calendar items, use one of the Calendar Views to list them and drag them
onto another calendar.

This is working fine but what about the To-Do-items. I cannot find a
way to have my Tasks that I create in Entourage sync with the Exchange
server. Vice versa it is the same: Tasks created or managed via OWA on
the Exchange server won't appear in Entourage.
Do you have an idea? Thanks a lot.

The idea is that it's not possible. At this moment, tasks don't sync to
Exchange. I have no idea why this wasn't implemented - probably a time
limit.
