Shared group contacts OUtlook 2011

Hi,

I have a mailbox that various users have access to. The mailbox also has a shared contacts which allows multiple users to add/edit contact in. The problem is, when creating a distribution group within the mailbox for these contact, users on Outlook 2011 is unable to see the distribution group, they can only see the contacts. Whereas outlook 2010 users on PC can see both the contacts and the group.

Am I doing something wrong here?

No approval option for Moderator of Distribution group

06. June 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,

I have a user who is using Outlook 2011 for Mac, they are setup as a Moderator for a Distribution Group. They recieve the "approval requested" notification emails. But can not do anything because there is no approve or deny buttons showing up in the email.  They do get the option if they use the Outlook web app.

Is this not a feature in Outlook for Mac users ? Or is there a setting or something I am missing?

Thanks

User cannot share calendar with group (Outlook 2011 for Mac)

A user is trying to share his calendar with a distribution group, but receives this error:

"Outlook cannot save permissions on the Exchange server. There was an error while attempting to save permissions on the server. Please try again later." 

The workaround for now is to share the calendar individually with each group member, but as this group grows, this will be increasingly infeasible.  Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Updates to contacts do not update the contact information in distribution group

I am using Mac Outlook 2011 with Exchange Server. When I make a change to an individual's contact information, it does not update the distribution list information.  Should I clear the cache? I hadn't realized this wasn't an automatic update. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello, my boss has a mac and is using office 2011 for it. I am using outlook 2007 on a windows machine. Is there any way for me to create a distribution group from my machine and send it to his? He has shared his contacts with me and i am able to search the people i need and create a group but when i send the distribution group to him via email it is unrecognizable and he cant drag it to his contacts. Do you have any suggestions on how I can create this group so he can see it in his contacts? Thank you.

Mac Outlook 2011 From SendAs distribution group

Using Office365, one of my users has mac outlook 2011, windows outlook 2010, and obviously OWA.

She has a distribution group where she's the only member, and she has SendAs privilege (I assigned via powershell). In outlook 2010 and OWA, she specifies the From, selects the distribution list from GAL, and sends. From that point onward, it always appears in the From drop-down.

On Mac Outlook 2011, the From drop-down only lets her specify another account on her computer; doesn't seem to know about any SendAs permission, doesn't seem to give her the ability to SendAs another email address from the GAL.

Is there something we're missing? Or is it just not supported?

We tried waiting a few days, deleting and recreating the account from Mac Outlook 2011, waiting a few more days... Still nothing.
