SRSv2 Calendar Issue only on Lenovo SmartHub 500 system
- Nov 21, 2018
Does it actually fail to fetch the calendar long term … I assume so? We hit this issue often with one customer but it is temporary as the message goes away after a few seconds, and we don't see issues with the calendar showing up if the room is booked. We haven't tried to investigate as it self fixes so can't offer any great pointers.
However, Exchange 2010 used for auto discover is not supported. We recently had to update the local hosts file to get around autodiscover not allowing a redirect from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2016. You could add a local hosts file entry in the SRS to point to Exchange online to cover this off if that is your issue. Note we also got warning messages saying Exchange 2010 wasn't supported which alerted us to this issue, but it could have been the SP wasn't up to date also as the Exchange version was being decommed at the time.

We have added a host file that directs outlook.office365.com to
40.97.142.34
Our smart hub blinks back and forth with Cannot fetch calendar
we are running SRS 4.0.85.0
SFB on prem works fine
Outlook hybrid mode with 2010 on prem.
Any other hints / tricks anyone have up their sleeves??
Thanks,

Hi jimsmithcsgicom,
It might be worth adding a few more entries into the hostfile just in case that one entry is unavailable (autodiscover.outlook.com):
40.101.51.200
40.101.55.56
40.101.12.8
40.101.90.184
40.101.54.184
40.101.43.184
40.101.12.88
40.101.50.216
40.101.125.216
Also make sure that each is set to autodiscover.<yourdomain>
It's not the best workaround, especially if you have quite a few of them, a separate DNS server with the CNAME in and forwarding upstream would be a better idea and just assign this DNS server to these devices using custom DHCP options.
Also make sure the exchange account is hosted in O365 and not on premise otherwise O365 will point the device back to your on-premise Exchange server.
This has worked with a few of our customers that are running legacy Exchange.
Thanks,
Dan

Revealing all of the reply's looking up (nslookup) autodiscover.YOURTENNENT.onmicrosoft.com
Gave me exactly what we needed for the host file and it works fine.
Thanks,

I had to create an entry in the hosts file for autodiscover.YOURDOMAIN. This was due to our on prem AD server not forwarding the request.
