Small group shared calendar does not update
Ray, Maria Kang is the microsoft rep that weighed in earlier in this thread. Maybe she can provide some help here? For me the fix was to uncheck the box mentioned earlier on each clients outlook.
- On the menu select Tools > Account settings
- Click on your account, then on Change More Settings then select the Advanced tab.
- Clear the "Download shared folders (excludes mail folders)" check box.
- Exit and restart Outlook.
Hi Robert.
I've tried unchecking this (and re-checking and un-checking again). It makes no difference.
Thanks anyway, but I'll have to keep searching.
Cheers
Ray
We are having the same problem. Any updates to this issue? To clarify, we are experiencing the following:
1. User creates an entry, appointment or invitation, on the Group calendar from Outlook desktop client (subscription).
2. For other users to see the entry, they need to deselect the group calendar, and reselect it from view. This seems to "update" the calendar.
All changes are immediate and visible in OWA, they just don't sync back down to the desktop client unless the calendar is unchecked and rechecked. We can't continually expect users to refresh their desktop calendar every time.
Any recommendations would be great!
I've spent too long on this issue, with the client getting steadily more upset. So I decided that O365 Groups simply don't work and reverted back to the "old fashioned" shared calendar.
I won't be trying it again with this client. Maybe if it ever gets resolved I might try it on new clients, but I'm not holding my breath.
