06/28/08 -2.0.0
- 64-bits release (v 2.0.0)
09/19/07 - 1.4.15
Fixes :
- Creating an item in the groupcalendar for
more than one user did not apply the label color to all users but only the
first user.
- User names with comma like O'Neil were not
processed correctly in the Public to Personal functionality.
- GCadmin.exe crashed in step #2 when the
account that started the tool did not have sufficient permissions in user
calendars or when users were in a child domain.
04/27/07 - 1.4.14
Fixes :
- After disconnecting users from a
groupcalendar (in step 2 of gcadmin.exe) and when creating an item for all group
members using #*# subject, the disconnected users (that no longer were a member of
the groupcalendar) still got that group appointment published to their personal
calendar.
- The EGC check and fix service identified the organizer of
GroupCalendar items as being different from the original item in the user
calendar causing a reprocessing of those items. Putting an extra load on the
server while there was no need for that.
- Private Meetings with multiple attendees now no longer disclose
the attendees names.
New Features :
For the Public to Personal functionality:
Event scheduling; this is
how it works
Create an item in the groupcalendar with #*# subject and it creates the item in
the personal calendar of all groupcalendar members.
In the groupcalendar it
shows only one item with [*] subject. When one of the
groupcalendar members changes the item
in the personal calendar the group item does not change along however it shows
[*] ~!!!~ subject to indicate that one of the members is out of sync..
It logs
the change in the body text of the group item.
The administrative person can reschedule/change the Event item in the group
calendar and it will move / re sync in all user calendars.
The subject will reset back to [*] subject because now all group items are in
sync again.
The event can be deleted from all user calendars by adding the special character
string #X# to the subject of the item in the groupcalendar.
2 New INI settings:
For large active directory environments it is now possible to boost performance
of active directory queries and lowering the load on the domain controllers by
defining the root OU.
Example :
The top domain level may be OPUSFLOW.COM but all GroupCalendar users are
located in DC
Netherlands
In that case you change the following config.ini section
[RootDSE]
UsesThisRoot=DC=opusflow,DC=com
into
[RootDSE]
UsesThisRoot=DC=Netherlands,DC=opusflow,DC=com
Another new setting is
UsewideProxyAddressSearch=YES
When you set
this to NO, the search for a user in the active directory will be based on
the faster "MAIL" property of the user and not on the ProxyAddress property.
This also lowers CPU usage and boosts performance. After changing the two
settings you should do some testing to make sure that everything still works
correctly in your environment.
03/19/07 - 1.4.013
- Bug fix for public to personal items. No
reminders were set on items in the personal calendar. Fixed behavior is that
when the delegate sets no reminder for the public item, the personal item will
have a reminder at 15 minutes before the start of the appointment.
03/28/07 Grid view updated to version 1.4 ;
performance improved 300% / Outlook security warnings fixed.
03/10/07 - 1.4.012
- Bug fix for public to personal items. When
created in the public calendar with OWA, items will move to the personal
calendar but will not show in the group calendar.
02/19/07 -1.40.01
Changes:
- Create items for other users in the group calendar (*)
- Support for custom forms and custom fields (**)
- minor improvements in gcadmin.exe
(*) syntax: #jack|jane# this is a
test. or #*# this is a test (an item for all users)
(**) You can put this in the config.ini file in c:\exchange group calendar
[CustomFieldNames]
FieldName-1=MyFirstCustomField
DefaultValue-1=just testing
FieldName-2=testing
DefaultValue-2=hello there
etc to max 20 fields
how it works is:
It evaluates the messageclass of the item in the user calendars. If it it a non
default form, it checks the config.ini
From there it learns what field names you want to show in the group calendar
item.
If the fields are empty and you specified a default value, it writes that as the
value
