Companyweb - Vacation Calendar - Link to Outlook missing

Our server is SBS 2003 SP1 and our clients are Windows XP Pro SP2. On client
computers, when you go to the Companyweb and click on Vacation Calendar,
there is a "Link to Outlook". This link is present and working on all but one
client computer.

How do I get the "Link to Outlook" link to reappear in the Vacation Calendar?

Thanks,

Yes this machine does have Outlook 2003 and it is functioning well.

 

Take a look at this link and see if it does anything for you...

Nick,

Thank you for your response. I went to the site you recommended and followed
the instructions, but it did not help.

The instructions said:
Check to make sure that your Outlook is able to support Unicode PST's. To
link Outlook and Windows SharePoint Services site pages, Outlook must be able
to create Unicode PST files on the user's computer. If a policy (or registry
key) is set that requires ANSI (rather than Unicode) PST files for Outlook,
linking cannot be established. The option to configure PST file types is in
Group Policy under User Configuration\AdministrativeTemplates\Microsoft
Office Outlook 2003\Miscellaneous\PST Settings. Double-click Preferred PST
Mode (Unicode/ANSI), and make sure that Enforce Unicode PST is not the option
selected in the Choose a default format for new PSTs drop-down list.

The problem is that under Group Policy on our computers under:
User Configuration\AdministrativeTemplates\ there is not a Microsoft Office
Outlook 2003.

I did follow the instructions and went to the registry as follows:
1): Run "regedit" to start Registry Editor.
2): Locate the following registry key:
HKey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Office\11\Outlook\Preferences\
3): Can you see a registry key named "DisableSTS"? If so, please delete this
key and restart the computer to see the result

There was not a key named DisableSTS.

I had already reinistalled Outlook 2003, but I uninstalled the Sharepoint
Services Support, then reinstalled it.

I still do not have the link "Link to Outlook" in the Vacation calendar on
our company web. All other PC's here have the link.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks again for your help.

Take a look at the files you can include in your GPO...
