Outlook Calendar - you can't add Distribution List to Calendar Group

Hi All,

Today i had a Supportcase, where the User was not able to add a Distribution List to a Calendar Group. I was pretty sure, that this is possible. Done that many times in the past.

In Outlook Calendar > Add Calendar > From Address Book

Select a Distribution Group

Let’s check the Members

You get the Error Message: We can’t add the calendars of everyone in this distribution List (Distribution List Name). Please add each calendar individually.

Outlook > Account settings > More Settings > Advanced:

Disable: “Turn on shared calendar improvements”

After a restart of Outlook you try it again

Now it works.

Keep in Mind:

Regards
Andres Bohren
