We have a Sharepoint 2007 deployment, Office Communicator, and Outlook 2007.
Inside my Outlook 2007 client, I can see a "View my site" option when clicking the prescence icon beside a user's name or meeting room when adding them as a recipient to a meeting request or email.
Our secretary doesn't have this option.
Is there anything I can look at as to why she doesn't have this option? She has all the other options, but it seems to me her outlook/sharepoint integration isn't complete. What can be done to fix this/look into the problem?
Thanks
We figured this out.
It seems our secretary recently got married, and although her Active Directory information was changed, and as a result, her my site on sharepoint was changed as well (//server/mysite/newname), it seems Office Communicator still was pointing to her old my site (//server/mysite/oldname). This confused the OCS link icon in Outlook, causing it not to appear.
Changing her name in OCS allowed her access to "view my sites" link in Outlook (and everywhere else).

Ok, I am in the dangerous place of knowing enough to cause trouble but not enough to do things correctly; and yet still have to be the one who does the work.
When I edit a sharepoint site, I see one thing, users see something else.
I have SP2013 Enterprise, On premise, SQL 2012.
I have configured Excel Services, Analysis Services - and they work
I developed an excel workbook with PowerPivot and deployed to a Sharepoint site via Excel WebPart
Permissions are set correctly as users have to login to open the site
However...
When other users go to the site, they don't see the information I posted, they only see the default screen. By default it looks like a business intelligence site before I added anything.
In short - the content I have put on my SP site is not being seen by anyone else. WTF do I do now???
Thanks
Did you perform a check-in of your page ?
If publication feature is enabled, did you publish the page ?
A page has to be "checked in" for others to see your modifications.
And if publishing is enabled, it should be published.
If the content of your page references other sharepoint content (file,page,...) they should be checked-in also to be visible to others.
I use SharePoint 2013 and I need to change my current user in my SharePoint site.
How can I change my current user?
How can I add sub menu (sign in as different user) to my menu ?
There are several solutions to your problem as Microsoft has removed the Sign in as different user link.
Start your browser as a different user
Use the _layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true page
Edit the Welcome.aspx to include the link again (Sign in as Different User and SharePoint 2013)
Use JavaScript as a Bookmarklet (SharePoint 2013 – Sign in as Another User)
Official MSDN article about this problem: "Sign in as Different User" menu option is missing in SharePoint Server 2013. And remember: It's a feature, not a bug ;-)
•Locate the file \15\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES\Welcome.ascx and open in a text editor.
•Add the following element before the existing element with the id of “ID_RequestAccess”:
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate runat="server" ID="ID_LoginAsDifferentUser"
Text="<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_loginasdifferentuser%>"
Description="<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_loginasdifferentuserdescription%>"
MenuGroupId="100"
Sequence="100"
UseShortId="true"
/>
•Save the file and close.
•Open your SharePoint site.
You will get an option for Sign In as Different User below "About Me" option
I am aware of 5 workarounds:
– Running the browser as the user you want to log in. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2752600
– Accessing the following URL “http://siteurl/_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true” by which you will be able to login as another user.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2752600
– Making a bookmarlet. Find how to do this here.
– Modify the “Welcome.ascx” control. You can find details about this here. This solution has two major inconvenients. Firstly, it is server scoped: the button will appear on every site collection of every web application. And secondly, the control can be overridden while applying a patch to SharePoint.
– Make a custom action. This gives the button back and is a clean way to do it.

Unfotueanatly the Sign as a different user has been removed in SharePoint 2013
But you can
Start Internet Explorer with Run as a different user option, by holding the Shift key when you right-click on a program icon.
Provide the different user credential.
Navigate to your SharePoint portal.
Also, there is a workaround to show Sign as a different user in SharePoint 2013 as SharePoint 2010 option by following the mentioned steps at Sign in as a different user in SharePoint 2013
One workaround option is:
Start Internet Explorer by using the 'Run as different user option', and then go to the SharePoint site.
The 'Run as different user option' is visible if you hold the Shift key when you right-click a program icon.
Use the below URL in your browser, which will prompt for login.
http://<yourservername>/_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true
There is also a Chrome extension for this, refer this post:

Have installed the Outlook for CRM 2011 add-in along with Rollup 12 on a Win 7 machine running Outlook 2013. When the user opens an email and click "Set Regarding", she can select an contact, but the email form does not change to show the "regarding pane" at the bottom. The "Track" button does change to "Untrack", so it seems that it is working, just not showing.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled more than once to no avail. It does work on other machines in my office.
You may check the person's personal settings for the CRM in Outlook. If you go under the Email tab there is a check box for "check incoming e-mail in Outlook and determine whether an email should be linked and saved as a CRM record. If that box is checked it may be causing the issue you are describing above.
I have had the exact same issue and making sure that box is unchecked solves it everytime. I've asked in multiple dynamics crm forums, even our Microsoft partner, and no one has been able to explain why, but having that box checked definitely made the regarding fields on outlook emails disappear and not show up.
So something happened and the related ribbon tab ("add") is mising on contact and opportunity. It's still there on Account. Any ideas what could make this tab disappear. The XML for contact has nothing. I currently have no javascript running on form load. I am so lost as to what could cause this.
It's most likely a problem with your security role. You should check the Contact permissions and compare with Account. I think the permission you need to look for is named "Append To".
I am using SHarepoint Workspace 2010. I was wondering if there was any way to somehow make the workspace (or even the site) work with Outlook and save emails in the document repository?
If you want to drag and drop email into any SharePoint 2010 library, SharePoint 2010 allows this out-of-the-box by selecting "Open with Explorer" from the "Connect & Export" section in the Library Tools ribbon in the applicable library. This will open a browser window, into which you may either drag/drop or copy/paste from your outlook window.
This method is exceptionally helpful when you DON'T want to set up the library to receive email.
For this, you have to integrate your outlook with sharepoint.You need to create a list, which will be seen at your outlook as well. Now when you want to send emails you have to save them in the list as well. So your emails will be saved in the sharepoint list.
There is no way of doing it. If you want to share your e-mail with broader audience you can move it to the Outlook public folder.
You could create a list which accepts emails like a discussion and setup an email address for the list in the settings. Then you can go to your Outlook and set up rules to forward emails to the list which fit a certain criteria.
Also, when viewing a list, you should be able to sync with Outlook (Connect to Outlook button) which would allow you to view it in Outlook.
Try Colligo Contributor Pro. It's an alternative for the old fashioned Sharepoint Workspace. You can do everything you want:
add all kind of files to Sharepoint
sync when you want
add emails to your Sharepoint and open them later with your mail program
add Sharepoint libs to your Outlook and sync them
For drag and drop of emails from Outlook to SharePoint we are using SharePoint Outlook Integration tool. PageLight also offers Save Outlook emails to SharePoint functionality
