Comments on: Outlook 2007: Clean Up Using Command-line Switches

I have a problem with one of my users. We are on an Exchange 2010 server with the client running Outlook 2007. There are 4 locations and each is setup the same way as mentioned above. However, we upgraded directly from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 and I am seeing this bug occur more frequently.

I have a user who tries to plan a meeting in Calendar in Outlook 2007. When they add a person(s), any person(s) to the meeting, the user right clicks the name they added for planning a meeting but nothing shows up. No available times or anything for that matter. There is no way for the user to see availability for time to schedule them for a meeting. They only get hash marks, nothing else.

With Office 2007, I have installed the latest updates and even remoted to the user’s computer who is having this issue and used the following command in the run line:
“C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12OUTLOOK.EXE” /cleanfreebusy. Outlook 2007 opens but nothing happens, and the user still gets the same problem in Calendar in Outlook 2007.

Please, I am out of ideas and hope anyone out there can help.

Thanks.

Steve

of course, you could just type “outlook.exe” before the switch :-p
