Shared Mailbox mail sent folder

In Exchange 2013 with Outlook 2010 client, mail sent dont land in the corresponding sent folder.

For example, If John has access to shared mailbox Info@contoso.com, mail he sends with info as sender will land in his personal sent folder. This makes John and John collegues confused.

Solution:

1. Make sure KB24591115 is installed, from 2010 so most likely. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2459115
2. Add this registry value on Johns computer/session

Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Preferences
Name: DelegateSentItemsStyle
Type: DWORD
Value: 1

Or run FixIt on https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2181579

Error when creating document from sharepoint

Symtoms: Suddenly when trying to create new document from a sharepointlist the following message is presented instead of a new document:

“The Operating system is not presently configure to run this application”
Followed by another error with bull about rights and such.
Solution:
When searching the net for this error some indicators point to Office 2013 to be the culprit. Though I’m running Office 2010, I’ve installed Visio 2013. Can this be the the error?
When installing hotfix kb2726997 the error disappears. Solved. Link below.

Edit 131217: This can also happen if Sharepoint Designer 2013 is installed together with Office 2010.

RDS–Disable Office update settings

When first time users start their Office it’s nice to not have to specify how you want updates to be installed.

Especially on a Remote Desktop Server, where the user don’t have the permissions for it anyways.

To get rid of it

1. Download Office 2010 Administrative Templates

2. Create new GPO>Add Template for Office 2010

3. In Microsoft Office 2010 > Privacy > Trust Center > Enable (Disable Opt-in Wizard on first run)

4. Apply GPO to the user OU.
