Office 365 group calendar missing?
Ok, we dont know when this has happened. But we created a Office 365 group via the admin gui portal. its been used as a document library and its the main teams group in MS Teams. Now, the company wants to use the group 365 calendar. however, when users are trying to access the calendar, its not visible in Outlook and when they try to use it online, it goes to their calendar. In the URL, it has:
https://outlook.office365.com/calendar/group/<tenantIDName>/<office 365 group>/view/month
now, using the channel calendar in teams works. Reading the channel calendar, it seems its a filtered view of the office 365 calendar. which has been tested on another group and seems to be true.
we have called office 365 support and they are stumped as well.
Is there anything we can do (powershell cmdlets) toget this working/visible?
Suleyman AliWe working through a rolling event where staff's group calendars and/or group email folder disappear. Disabling and then enabling Outlook caching is correcting this issue for us.
- The "set-unifiedgroup" cmdlet has not yet been ported to the Exchange Online Powershell v2 module. If you are running v2, you'll need to uninstall the module by running "uninstall-module exchangeonlinemanagement" and then install v1 with the following command:
Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement -RequiredVersion 1.0.1 - My problem is exactly the same as yours. It's not an option to recreate this site/group since it has existed for quite a while. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a group event calendar.
Hi Sajid,
I have found the cause of the problem in my instance so I've place the fix below for you. Please check that this is actually the same problem before using the fix.
In Feb 2018 Microsoft by default HIDE email groups by default. What I found was that the group was there, but actually hidden. There is a way to list the hidden groups and then a way to unhide that group. The SharePoint groups I had that were not hidden were created before Feb 2018, those after wards are hidden from both the calendar and from the address book.
This solution worked for me
#Early 2018 MS stopped Groups from appearing in Outlook calendars or the address book by default
#If a SharePoint sites needs it's original Group Calendar or a Group Calendar is missing from Outlook then you have to unhide that group using Powershell.#Connect to ExchangeOnline. You will be prompted to log in with your O365 credentials and MFA Connect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName xxxxxxxxxxx # Gets a list of all groups that are hiddenfrom* Get-UnifiedGroup |ft DisplayName,HiddenFrom* #Sets a group so that it is not hidden from Outlook or the address book #Change "Group Name" to the name of the group to unhide #Unhides the group from SharePoint Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity "Group Name" -HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled:$false #Unhides the group from the address book Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity "Group Name" -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled:$false- This works for me
- I have exactly the same issue. The site/group has existed for a while so recreating it is not an option. The Group calendar just doesn't seem to exist.
