Outlook 2010 OSC with SharePoint 2010 documentation or help
- by skypanther
I'm looking for documentation or help to set up Outlook 2010's social connector to work with SharePoint 2010. I can't find much info other than some MS videos and blogs saying that it's possible. They say "we are already connected to SharePoint, so let's add in the XYZ connector..." but don't tell how they connected to SharePoint.
Server A: Win2K8 x64, Exchange 2010 x64, domain controller
Server B: Win2K8 x64, domain member, SQL Server 2008 R2, SharePoint 2010
Client: Win 7, domain member, with Office 2010 RTM (most every component installed, including the OSC)
I've added my domain users to a group. In SharePoint, I granted that domain group permissions to access the site. As any of the domain users, I can use IE to log on the My Sites pages. From there, I can add lists, blog posts, status updates etc.
In Outlook, I can add a SharePoint contact to my Contacts list. But, all I see in the People Pane is emails my users have exchanged. I don't see any of the other SharePoint status updates. When I try to use the "Add this person to a social network" link to connect them with my My Sites, the process fails. It doesn't give any sort of error message that helps me figure out why. Just a "Try Again" button that likewise fails.
Any guides, links, suggestions?
I'm pretty novice-level with SharePoint but mildly adept with the other technologies.
