Can’t rename default folder names for Room and resource mailboxes with MFCMAPI
- To get the MS-Exchange calendar ICS to include a name line other than “X-WR-CALNAME:Calendar” (which, when trying to aggregate calendars, does not play well with other mailbox calendars also emitted by MS-Exchange with default name )
- when trying to follow the renaming instructions here using MFCMAPI (which seem however for personal mailboxes, not the different folder hierarchy: “information store”).
- I only get this 0x8004011b mapi_e_corrupt_data (would have kind of surprised me they had let me mess with MS-Exchange, this is not PST world anymore):

- Is there another way to rename room/resource mailbox calendars? Seems like not. But there is a recommended feedback form for this (or is this for office online only, not for exchange on premise?).
If MS-Exchange room mailbox does not auto-decline, but forwards conflicting requests

Scheduling assistant shows no information on free/busy
This effectively prevents all reservations of shared equipment. We tested with these 4 resources, and increasingly nearer dates in the future (from May to today). This is in Offcie265 from a student account. From a staff account in OWA, I do not see the same behavior: ![]()

You can use “copy status to clipboard”
to move to and manage in excel:
Use an excel table autofilter to drill down to the actual participants:
and paste them right back into an outlook message:
Outlook can handle that (“check names”):

Some users cannot check out LRC items since they cannot log into their NINERMAIL Office365 Outlook

- This seems to have been going on for a while. We have no good way to use another browser on the computers that we use for our room booking and equipment circulation system. Besides,
- IE8 is the default browser on campus.
- Microsoft seems to say it not deprecate it without notice. Rather, pasted from http://community.office365.com/en-us/wikis/manage/office-365-and-internet-explorer-8.aspx states the following (they do not mention XP though, but that is also supported until April 2014):
- Why is Office 365 ending support for Internet Explorer 8? [in short, html5]
-
Why 8 April 2014? Office 365 provides customers 12 months’ notice of disruptive change under our Online Services Support Lifecycle. We announced Office 365 is ending support for Internet Explorer 8 on the System Requirements Wiki on 9 April 2013.
-
Will Internet Explorer 8 users be blocked from connecting to Office 365 after 8 April 2014? No, Office 365 will not deliberately block Internet Explorer 8 users from accessing the service after 8 April 2014. But after that date, users connecting to Outlook Web App will only be able to use Outlook Web App Light.
- ITS says Microsoft told them IE8 is not supported.
- The following change does not fix it here on XP SP3:
-
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
-
[HKLM and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
“XMLHTTP”=dword:00000001
-
- Go figure.
