With system/device management support, you only allow authorized systems/devices to access and sync with Exchange. It means your network won’t allow just anyone to sync from any system or ActiveSync from any phone with any iPad, iPhone, Blackberry, Microsoft Outlook for Windows, or Entourage for the Mac system/device. The ONLY fix that’ll guarantee an organization it has control over its systems/devices is to put in place a very methodical systems management / device management policy. And this hasn’t happened just once, it happens all the time, the occasional sync by a home device corrupts all the work IT has done to patch/update all “known” devices Soon afterward, the problem with calendars pop up againģ) Or, in several cases, the Executive (or the Admin) has a system/device “at home” that no one in IT is aware of that they sync their calendars.

Apple CONTINUES to ship their devices with older versions of the iOS and as such, while everything was working, the problem pops up againĢ) Or, everything is working fine and then IT sets up a new Exchange server (adds a new server to improve performance / capacity, or adds a new site with new servers), but IT forgets to patch and hotfix the new server. THREE issues that we have repeatedly found to “break” the success of the solution:ġ) As much as all current devices get updated, the minute some Exec or Admin goes out and buys a shiny new iPad or iPhone and configures it to sync their email, that new (unmanaged / un-updated) device corrupts calendars again.

The bug fixes only fix the problem from here forward on the server/devices that have been updated. That’s where the People and Processes come in to play… So technologically, everyone has access to the fixes to the problem, so why can’t you just apply the bug fixes and the problems go away? If you ask Microsoft, Apple, RIM, they do acknowledge these are known bugs, and the bugs are fixed when you apply the noted updates. In that post, I give the specific Microsoft, Apple, and RIM tech articles. All of these bugs are clearly documented in my NetworkWorld blog post I reference above. Let me clarify…Īs I noted, the root of the problem are bugs in Microsoft Exchange and Outlook, AND bugs in Apple iPhones and iPads, AND bugs in the Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES).

It’s also not solely a technical solution, it actually requires the full support of PEOPLE, PROCESS, and TECHNOLOGY to solve the problem.

You can’t just throw on a patch and the problem goes away. The bad thing, it’s not a simple 1 time fix.

In the past year, the consulting firm I run (Convergent Computing, ) has implemented this methodical process to completely eliminate calendaring problems in dozens of organizations representing hundreds of thousands of calendars. Good thing, there is a FIX! I blogged about this issue over a year ago ( ) and have updated the blog post continuously with updates on fixes and workarounds.
