- 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.

Student users in the wrong time zone still cause problems with our equipment circulation system

- Imagine you are trying to pick up an item on local time, but the previous users will return it on Japan time – or (like in the example below)`vice versa. It happens all the time here …
- We can see the misconfiguration when opening the meeting in Outlook (Desktop), but we rarely do this.
- What gets routinely done here is opening the meeting in the OWA of the organizer:
- is there an obvious way to see the time zone for the organizer?
- The best I have found is this, and it is anything but obvious, deeply hidden in the OWA settings dialogues. Any change with Office365?

- Update: We made a brief summary which you can read instead here.
- The interface has changed quite a bit, but don’t worry: the basic processes are still the same. Here is a very quick rundown:
- You now have to start from the Calendar / + new Event, like so:
and 
- To add resources
- Don’t try the “button:add room”, you will get this error:
- instead, either type the resource email address
- or click the + next to “Attendees’
- and search the database for the “LRC[whatever]” resource,
- note: no need for a new window anymore
- and by double-clicking or clicking the + , from the search results, add the desired resources to the “Attendees”, finally click top menu: “OK”
- or to remove spurious ”Attendees”, right-click them:
- and search the database for the “LRC[whatever]” resource,
- to preview the availability, you can still click top menu: “Scheduling assistant”.
- Note that the “Scheduling Assistant”looks very different, not like a parallel timeline, more like a parallel calendars, you can choose form thee upper right
- either day view:
- or week view:
- either day view:
- Note that the “Scheduling Assistant”looks very different, not like a parallel timeline, more like a parallel calendars, you can choose form thee upper right
- and it tries to help you by giving more explicit information about conflicts:
- when happy with how you scheduled your “event”, click top menu: “send”
- read the response
- unfortunately, there seems to be no “toast” (tested in Chrome on Windows 7 and Firefox on Window XP)
- there is, however, still a response
- “accept”
- or,”with explanation, “declined”:
- there seems to be also a bug that you cannot send messages to yourself (huh? investigating), ignore for the time being:
- from the “Event” in your calendar, you can still
- edit (including, for repeating events, single occurrence or series :
- right-click the “Event” from the calendar and choose “cancel”, which still brings up a popup window where you have to “send”:
- edit (including, for repeating events, single occurrence or series :
- Don’t try the “button:add room”, you will get this error:
If you receive a calendar sharing invitation, click “Open the calendar”

- In Outlook (Desktop), like it says in the first item on the upper left:
- This will add the calendar to the list of calendars on the left of your Outlook, like so
- That is, if you do a calendar overlay, like so.

“I can haz all my online appointment and schedule information in one merged calendar in NINERMAIL?”

- Yes, you can! Overlay calendars, a much needed feature from Outlook Desktop (as we mentioned earlier) has finally made it into the web version of Outlook (in Office365 the migration of which from live@edu will be finished by the end off the month), as was announced today: “Users can have multiple calendars in a merged view.”
- Example: In Outlook Desktop (not available to students), you can not only add a calendar like, icsexport.ics to the right, but, if you click on the (1) little black arrow, add/merge icsexport.ics to the (2) already overlaid calendars on the left, which is much more usable if you need to aggregate content from different sources:
- And now also in OFFICE365 NINERMAIL:
- This should make the sharing of calendar information much easier, not only for the about 100 LRC resource calendars, but also for other useful calendars that are published on campus:
- the new LCS calendar
- the registrar’s academic calendar
- the campus-wide faculty calendar
- last not least: your Moodle calendar (view all your moodle assignment deadlines in one place, the same place you check your email)
- And more… ? Do you know of other calendars, and/or a way to discover them?
- The details
- yet need to be panned out. We assume the feature will “just work” like above in Outlook Desktop when you
- We’ll provide more information and examples once we see this feature… TBA
