Solving “Calendar sharing is not available with the following entries because of permission settings on your network”
My Problem:
Attempting to send another Exchange 2007 user a request to share calendars results in the error:
“Calendar sharing is not available with the following entries because of permission settings on your network.”
My Solution:
This one was so simple it’s obnoxious. Instead of typing in the user’s name in the To: field, click the To: button and select their Exchange address from the Global Address List. I suspect that I simply allowed auto-complete to fill in the user’s name when I typed the first few letters and it was not actually the Exchange account but another of the user’s email accounts that I had previously named with the same username.

Thanks for the mention, almost forgot I wrote that ;)
I’ve had this very issue come up before and it was caused by the user sending the request to share having a contact record for the person, but the email address in the person’s address book was not the X400 address, or maybe it was not their default SMTP address, I cannot remember which exactly.
Your method around it works fine, the other is to check for the contact in the address book, and look at their email address. You should be able to start typing the email address in there, and it should automatically try and use the GAL address list (at least I’ve seen it doing it before).
It was a great easy fix. Thank you so much.
I have tried the above suggestions to no avail… I am using 2010. Any other ideas??
Unfortunately, since that solved my problem I didn’t have to dig any deeper. Sorry. =|
I don’t understand why this works. The address is that fails is the same as the GAL one. I even get an availability (Communicator) bubble with the address that fails.
I’m assuming that it is something Outlook-side to do with caching. Selecting the cached email address gets it from local Outlook memory, but the real-time availability is added on top of that. If that makes sense.
Thanks a bundle! I had already bought a book on exchange server and the answer was not there.
Quirks like this can’t easily be included in books. Things like this just have to be stumbled over, blogged about and then hopefully never tripped over again. =)
