Microsoft Outlook 2007 Forum

I'm not sure if this is an issue with my CrossOver install or not. My Outlook instance in a CrossOver bottle can't seem to get free/busy information from our Exchange server. I have Outlook set up to connect over HTTPS (Outlook Anywhere). Has anyone else seen free/busy info work in CrossOver over Outlook Anywhere?

I can confirm that I have the same problem. I haven't spent a great deal of time trying to figure out why, though.

Yep, discovered this for myself the other day, too. Haven't had a chance to figure anything out, though.

I am having the same problem.
One lead I have (and I hope this pans out because otherwise we are pretty screwed) is a certificate trust issue. I will attempt to import the certificate of our domain's autodiscover service into the bottle, and see if that helps.

I giving Codewavers a try. Is there anyone at all that has found a solution for free/busy? This is essential for us.

Thanks!

I found a solution that works for me. Outlook 2007 by default uses "Availability Service" to get that information. We're running that but Outlook under CrossOver doesn't seem to find it. Outlook 2003 uses public folders and those work. The following web site is what I followed:

Basically run regedit in your Office bottle and put in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar
Value Type: DWORD
Value Name: UseLegacyFB
Values:0 or not set (default behavior which is to use the Availability Service) or 1 (use Public Folder based Free/Busy information)

When I added that and set it to 1, free/busy started working.
