Posted on January 19th, 2010 in Excahnge 2007, Outlook 2007 by Gil Kreslavsky

 

During migration from Exchange 2003 to 2007 we had the problem with Outlook 2007 client free busy response was slow , about 10 seconds to load .

To fix it .
Open registry editor on your Desktop(where outlook is installed)

Navigate to the following path : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar
Create new DWORD value named UseLegacyFB and set value to 1

Note:
0 or not set will use default outlook settings
1 will use Public Folder based Free/Busy information
