Hosted Exchange & iCal - can't add shared calendar

I am having a problem with my Hosted Exchange account and iCal. Prior to the widespread issues with Hosted Exchange and Mac Mail in late March/early April, I was able to add shared Exchange calendars in iCal by going to Preferences-Accounts-Delegation, clicking the + and typing in the first few characters of a colleague's email address (a colleague who has shared their calendar with me). I have four shared calendars right now that are working perfectly, I can see their appointments and the shared calendars update when changes are made.



The problem is that I can't add a new shared calendar using this method. I have three new employees whose calendars I need to add to iCal and the process to add a shared calendar is not working. I type the first few characters of their email address like I did before and nothing happens. I have tried (on another Mac) to delete the account and re-add it, I can't add any shared calendars there so I've lost the four that I had before and can't get them back.



I have verified that this is working fine in Outlook 2010 on a virtual PC, it appears to be another problem with Hosted Exchange that is crippling Mac productivity.


Anyone else seeing this problem?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Making sure contacts syncing was enabled fixed it for me. Once it is enabled, I can see other users on the server and add delegates and grant access to my calendar. Then I cam turn off Contacts syncing and it still works.


Maybe that second account is the issue. You might try deleting both accounts and starting over, assuming the data will be preserved on the server.
