  • Problem printing shared calendar in Outlook [KEITH]
-I know I've had this problem before, but can't remember if I spoke about it. (I searched the wiki, but couldn't find anything on it)
-User called with error when trying to print another users shared calendar. Error: The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.
-I seemed to remember it being permission related, so I did a quick search and it is...sorta.
-The default page style for the calendar also prints a TaskPad? with a list of current tasks. Since the user only had rights to the calendar and not the other users tasks, it caused an error.

Listener Feedback

From listener....Michael

I was just listening to episode 112 and thought I would drop a quick email.

1. Keith, next time you have to replace a joint (I struggled with the similar plumbing issues when remodeling my kitchen) go to Home Depot and pick up some SharkBite Joints. These things are awesome, after several hours of frustration on trying to solder joints together I was shown these SharkBite? joints that saved me any further frustration. They work off the old chinese finger trap principle, all you have to do it slide them onto the pipes; no soldering, no fire, etc. Takes less than 30 seconds to connect it all up. I did all my kitchen plumbing with these joints.

2. If you are still having issues with the ESXi? server, send me the hardware specs and the error you are getting and I can see what I can do. I deal with a lot of ESX and ESXi? boxes.

3. I would love to be a co-host, but I have school Wednesday night until 10:00. If you every need to do the show on another night I would be available.

Thanks, Michael
