MicrosoftShared calendars now sync to mobile phones
MicrosoftHi Kenn,
The improvements are only for calendars shared between Exchange Online users. If you have a hybrid setup, but both users are hosted in Office365, they would have the improvements. But there is no change to experience if one (or both) of the users are hosted on-prem.
It won't be coming to future on-prem releases because we are unable to support these improvements when on-prem is involved -- many of the improvement rely on functionality that is only possible when both mailboxes are in the service, such as instant syncing.
Julia Foran - when - if ever - will this functionality be available to on-premise Exchange users?. I run a rather large shop and have no need or desire to go to Office 365 - we already have our cloud presence built with rather expensive fully-licensed Microsoft products. My users cannot view shared calendars using Outlook for smartphones and I can't help but feel Microsoft is keeping all the good stuff for themselves.
Your help appreciated

- Julia ForanHi James,
The way that we support shared calendars to sync to mobile devices uses technology only available in Office 365, so we are unable to bring this feature to Exchange On-Prem.
