INTRODUCTION

Issues that this hotfix package fixes

  • Consider the following scenario:

    • You have a SharePoint Server environment that has complex workflows.

    • You implement the ReceiveTimeOut registry entry to increase the global timeout to 90 seconds.

    • You click the Open this task button to open a workflow task in Outlook 2013.

    In this scenario, when you click any approval option from the popup dialog box, you receive the following error message:

    This task could not be updated at this time.

  • When you reply or forward an email message by using inline replies, you cannot use the Close and Delete method of Outlook Visual Basic for Application. Additionally, you receive the following error message:

    Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)': This method can't be used with an inline response mail item.

  • Consider the following scenario:

    • You set up a hybrid topology between Microsoft Exchange Online and Microsoft Exchange Server 2013, and have Federation Trust enabled.

    • User A has a mailbox that is located on an on-premises Microsoft Exchange server, and user B has a cloud-based mailbox.

    • User A shares his calendar with user B by providing the "Full Details" permission, and then he sends a sharing invitation to user B.

    • User B opens the sharing invitation from user A, and then clicks Open this Calendar. Then, Outlook browses to the Calendar module and opens the shared calendar.

    In this scenario, the shared calendar does not show any content.

  • Consider the following scenario:

    • You install Outlook 2013 on Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 with the Terminal Server role installed.

    • You implement and enable the Use Cached Exchange Mode for new and Existing Outlook Profiles Group Policy setting.

    In this scenario, when you open the Outlook Account Settings window and double-click the Exchange account, the Use Cached Exchange Mode check box is not checked in the popup dialog box.

  • Consider the following scenario:

    • You have an Exchange server that has Public Folders.

    • You create the Outlook Security Settings folder under All Public Folders.

    • You publish the AdminSecurityMode registry entry, and then you set the entry to a value of 1.

    • You configure Outlook 2013 to use Cached Exchange Mode.

    In this scenario, when Outlook 2013 connects to the Exchange server, Outlook crashes.
