Other events include major product shipments, releases, closing of financial periods, or a plant shutdown. The folder would have company holidays and other events that company staff should be aware of. The most common use case is to share a company calendar that is stored in a public folder. The process for syncing a calendar is even simpler.

In a another blog post, I covered how to sync public contact folders to to dozens, or hundreds of smartphone users.

Solutions exist in the app store but they might require significant help desk support to install and configure the app on hundreds of smartphones. Unfortunately this capability is not readily available to smartphone users. Hundreds of desktop users may have access to view the calendar. If you are an Office 365 user, check out the CiraSync solution to learn how to sync an Outlook Public Folder in about a minute!Ī shared calendar is usually found in a Public Folder, or a shared mailbox. I guess the main point of my suggestions is to use what they've got now and exercise a little manpower or maybe a powershell script? to do the contact copying between the two accounts or even from a master account to the two accounts used JUST for contacts syncing.If your company has desktop users opening shared calendars on Exchange Server, you may have already gotten a request to be able to access these folders on an iPhone or Android. You can't limit the sync by permissions to the various mailbox items? but you can limit access in EWS/Outlook by permission to mailbox items, right? (Separate question) I mean, since you can grant that permission, you should be able to deny it as well, right? I'm obviously not hitting that limit in my Gmail or Exchange uses. I don't think the contacts is something that will be updated daily, but it's something that would have to be centralized in this scenario. You can do that on iOS, but I don't know if you can do that on Android. And on the client side, you set them up only to get the contacts. It would be a stub account, essentially just for contacts. If it's a hard limit of 16, then 2 accounts or 3? And the point would NOT be an exec's account. If you hit this 16 then no additional connections may be made and all other EAS device logon attempts will fail to that mailbox. The second problem is a hard limit of 16 EAS logon sessions are allowed to any one mailbox at a time. If the mailbox is only used for contacts storage then it isn't a big deal I guess, but I mention it for anyone thinking of sync'ing a Exec's account to some assistant's device who *only* want them to have Calendar access. So you aren't able to put a policy in place that says something along the lines of "only allow calendar/contact sync" to this mailbox by these specific people. The first problem you encounter is that from the server side you cannot limit what item types a person can sync.
The EAS protocol was not designed for configuring multiple devices to access the same mailbox.

Is Android limited to one Exchange sync? I know IOS isn't, but I'm not certain how it is with Android in the current 4.x stream.Īctually, and I hate being Debbie Downer, this could end badly. I could easily see where each phone gets the Exchange sync for contacts only, with email being separate.

My iPhone gets her contacts and calendar and my full gmail account and full work account. Her iphone gets her full account plus my gmail calendar and work calendars only. My wife's gmail has all our private contacts.

Then you have a supervisor type that has access to update the contacts and every single phone will get the updated contacts.
To prevent changes to the contacts by the techs, you can fiddle with permissions or even use the AD account of an account that's granted permissions to the "sync account". Then you'd have ONE "shared" account that has all the business contacts. To a private folder, or to a public folder (which most phones won't show), but AFAIK there is no way to add a contact to AD via Outlook.Īssuming this is 30 phones either iOS or Android, AND the backing server is Exchange, can't you simply set up a sync ONLY for the contacts? I think contacts can be added through Outlook.
