Syncing your Outlook Calendar status with Office Communicator

This post is specifically meant for users using Office Communicator in conjunction with Microsoft Outlook, at work. Many a times you might find that while you are on a meeting which reflects on your Outlook Calendar, your Office Communicator still shows your status as "Online" rather that "In a Meeting".

The solution to this problem is very simple. This generally happens when your Office Communicator is not able to read your Outlook Calendar. To correct this problem always keep an eye on the lower right hand corner of the status bar of your Office Communicator. If your Office Communicator is unable to read your Outlook Calendar you would see a small Server icon with an exclamation shown in the status bar. On hovering your mouse over the icon you would see an error as shown on the right.






To solve the problem just double-click on the icon which would pop-up a message as shown on the right. Just click on YES & you would soon find out that your Office Communicator reflects the correct status as per your Outlook Calendar entry.

Do let me know once you try out this.
