Birthday Calendar reappears
Hey everybody,
I am currently trying to set up the calendar and contact environment for my company and keep running in the most ridiculous issues.
Today on the menu: Birthday Calendar.
We want to use a central contact book so that not everybody has to manage their own contact book. I tried around with public folders which works in theory but I couldn't find a way to set up an automated birthday calendar for public folders. So I decided to use a shared mailbox for that which seems to be working fine.
Now I don't require the personal birthday calendar anymore and a quick google search showed where to deactivate it. "Outlook Online - Settings - Calendar - Deactivate Birthday Calendar".
Now, the problem is that the birthday calendar reactivates it self every single time. I doesn't matter if I have the outlook app open or closed at the time. This calendar won't go away.
After multiple tries I now have 5 personal Birthday Calendars in my outlook app. Anyone has an idea on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance and best regards.

- FlorianMaassCopper ContributorNow it keeps happening for the shared mailbox as well.
Tried to deactivate it, it reactivates itself. I'm about to loose it.- neilcomwireCopper ContributorHaving the same issue. But for a regular mailbox. A client wanted us to disable the Birthday Calendar for the entire org. Had to manually do this via OWA for all users. But I still have two users where this does not disappear 😐
