Poll: Do you sync with a Smartphone?This month we want to find out if users are syncing with a
Smartphone or PDA. You can enter your response at BlackBerry Enterprise Server Support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) is now fully supported on Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 and BlackBerry Technical Support Services are available. For more information, see Blackberry support or Exchange team Office 2010 Beta ReleasedOffice 2010 Beta is now available for download. I highly recommend
users not install it on their “production” system. If you ignore this
advice, install the 32bit version, especially if you use add-ins or
sync with devices. Existing add-ins will not work with the 64bit
version. There is a good chance they will work with the32bit build.

Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 2 Meeting Request Update BugWe're seeing complaints that Outlook automatically sends
meeting updates to the attendees several times a day. When users
delete the responses from their inbox it triggers another update

The first vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a specially crafted TNEF message is sent to an Exchange Server. The attacker could use this to take complete control of the affected system with Exchange Server service account privileges. The second vulnerability could allow denial of service if a specially crafted MAPI command is sent to Exchange Server. A successful attacker could cause the Exchange System Attendant service and other services that use the EMSMDB32 provider to stop responding. For more information and to download the update, see Microsoft Security Bulletin MS09-003 - Critical Appointment times randomly move by 2 - 8 minutesWe're seeing complaints about Outlook adding (or subtracting) 2 - 8
minutes to new appointments. For example, if an appointment is created
for 10:00 to 11:00 AM, it's changed to 10:02 to 11:02 AM. Users may
also receive an error message that the message is not recurring and
they need to close all open items. Fixed: iPhone and Disappearing AppointmentsThere is a problem with iPhone v2 software syncing with Outlook where the events created on the device are only visible in a table view, not Day/Week/Month view. When new appointments are entered into the iPhone they're set as repeating in Outlook but contain no data and Outlook doesn't know what to do with them. To fix, open the event on the iPhone and change it to recurring daily then end the recurrence on the date of the event before syncing. A hotfix is now available. See Some recurring calendar items disappear from the "Day/Week/Month" view in Outlook when a user uses Exchange ActiveSync on a mobile device to modify a recurring meeting in an Exchange 2003 environment For more information, see iPhone, Outlook, and disappearing appointments An Outlook - IMAP Virus? No, Read ReceiptsWe're seeing reports from a lot of panicked Outlook 2007 users who have IMAP accounts in their profile that Outlook is infected with a new virus because it sends upwards of 50 hidden messages every few days. It's not a virus, its a bug involving IMAP accounts, the Junk Email folder and Read Receipts. Outlook 2007 is not honoring the Read Receipt settings and returning Not Read receipts when the Junk folder is emptied. Microsoft is investigating and until it's fixed, mark Junk mail read within Outlook, before deleting it. See the latest updates at Problem: Outlook is sending unknown messages CDO1.2.1 for Windows 2008 and VistaThis version of CDO is compatible with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. This will install on 64-bit systems but works only with 32-bit applications. Download: Microsoft Exchange Server MAPI Client and Collaboration Data Objects 1.2.1 Recurring Meeting BugIf your Outlook seems possessed and turns all of your meeting requests into recurring meetings, you have a Dell laptop with MediaDirect. There is a bug in the add-in that reads Outlook meetings so Media Direct's Instant Office can display then without fully booting into Windows. You'll need to uninstall or disable the add-in called "Outlook Setup Addin (Cyberlink)" to put an end to the errant recurring meetings. |
