Google Calendar Sync Service doesn't with with Exchange 2010 #54

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to configure the Sync service to use EWS
2. Observe that it is not an option.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Hoping to allow population of free/busy data into Exchange 2010 hosted Public 
Folders (or another supported interop solution)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows Server 2008R2, Exchange 2010 SP1 RU3v3

Please provide any additional information below.
Exchange 2010 doesn't support WebDAV... need an EWS solution to make it work.

Thank you

We are running an environment with Exchange 2010, is there any plans to support 
EWS instead of WebDav?

We did come up with a workaround for our environment... ugly though

1- Create mailboxes in Exchange for every mailbox in Google
2- Set a secondary domain as an alias in Google (so users have XXX.com and 
g.XXX.com for example)
3- Set SMTP forwarding (with no local copy retained) to forward to g.XXX.com 
addresses.
4- Have a process log onto each Google calendar, extract all events, and create 
them in Exchange's calendar with minimal information.

We're still adjusting our internal processes to be able to ignore those 
mailboxes, etc...  but better than nothing.

Exchange 2010 is not supported by GCC.

Have you written your own process to write the events to Exchange Mailboxes ? 
Instead of this I would recommend to have a process which writes to Public 
Folders using EWS.

I tried the public folder route, but Exchange 2010 SP1 just wasn't playing 
along.  I opened a support ticket with Microsoft, and didn't get anywhere with 
it.  [for the most part it seems they've completely abandoned public folder 
based Free/Busy unless you're working against a 2k3 server directly.]

I'm most of the way done with the mailbox route.  I have a .Net project that 
pulls down select calendars and stores them in an XML cache, and another script 
which compares that cache against the Exchange mailbox, pushing updates as 
needed.  Not pretty, but it should get the job done when I get time to finish 
it.
