Protected: Sanako Web browsing activity fails with Outlook web access
Sanako Web browsing activity not compatible with modern web infrastructure (SunGard Portal, Outlook Web Access)?
- To access campus resources – here an assignment in a Moodle course – our students need to log into a SunGard portal (with SSO – a pretty common product in higher education)l, but already the redirection after login fails with this session expiration error.
- We could work around this problem by browsing to the target site and logging into Moodle directly. But our students normally do not know how to do that.
- More problems arose when students tried to open an email in their campus OWA, in a popup window, which, however, gets redirected to the first browser homepage.
- This was during an “open/prevent policy” web browsing-activity, where – to keep students on task – only certain sites (social web, webmail) were blocked.., as can be seen in this screenshot:
Step-by-step how to set up a delegate for your mail account in MS-Outlook 2010 on MS-Exchange 2010
We are just using the default options here – explore more on your own, as you wish (e.g. Let someone else mind your busyness). You need to use MS-Outlook – I don’t see an option in OWA to set up delegate access. But your delegate will carry over to OWA if you prefer to use the webmail client.
Next question: what does the delegate see/do?

How to view the full MS-Exchange resource booking details in scheduling assistant
- If you set resource mailbox calendar default permissions to “full details” like so:
- you will get the benefit of seeing immediately the contact info of other bookers of the resource in the scheduling assistant , like so:
- That is more personal and personable – in Outlook! In OWA of exchange 2010 sp2, you still do not, and you have to go through the full calendar (subscribed or published with full detail like in the view links here).
- Here is a little bonus for the recent commenter: You may have to trigger a refresh (wait time seemed bit enough). The information for the resources at the bottom I started seeing only after I switched back and forth between scheduling assistant/appointment/scheduling assistant view.
How to organize your email by creating an Inbox rule in OWA
- This step-by-step GUIDE was written for filtering emails from our langlabemailer program (they happen to have “Your UNCC-LRC” in the subject) into a separate folder so that users of the LRC keep the overview:
- students (longitudinally, for their language learner ePortfolios) ,
- but especially teachers (of classes with up to 36 students, throughout the term).
- But you can easily adapt the guide to any other email purpose.
- Including other LRC workflows based on emails: LRC resource booking also relies on OWA emails. All email sent from LRC resource mailboxes have “LRC” at the beginning of the user name and email address.
- In short: Options / Create an Inbox Rule / Click “ new” / choose a type / choose keywords / choose folder to sort the email into when it arrives. Or graphically:
