Anybody got Exchange Calendar working? When I add mine, "Calendar Agent" process maxes out my CPU and then I eventually get an error that my Exchange Calendar could not be refreshed. My events never show up. CPU stays maxed out until I remove Exchange account.

Advise?

Nope - can't get it to work either - just shows an error...

It was working in Mavericks - so I assume this is a bug they have to resolve..

I'm getting the same results. I did hear that some folks accessing Exchange 2013 do not have this problem. So I'm guessing its something plaguing 2010, and older...?

I'm on 2013... Office 365 hosted enterprise Exchange.

Interesting!? Then it must be some setting, or setup piece we're missing. If this worked, I wouldn't mind using the partition its installed on as my daily driver. But without it, I'm kind of stuck.

It is definitely my biggest showstopper too. I am considering doing a clean Mavericks install on that partition, setting up Exchange on it, then upgrading to Yosemite to see if that works.

Heads up...

If you upgraded from 10.9 with a working Calendar to Exchange do NOT delete the account and try re-create it again, mine was working great in 10.10 then I decided to see if they had improved 'auto discover' only to find I could not get the Calendar connecting again.

So...restore to 10.9 then upgrading back to 10.10 for me, 10.10 is worth that effort for me

I can also confirm that this works. I can now really test the beta...

Nice find iFoggy!

Unfortunately this still doesn't work in DP2 and I can't upgrade from 10.9 as a workaround. Anyone been able to figure out a way to get the Calendar to sync with Exchange?

I posted in another thread that I was able to successfully connect Calendar/Mail/Contacts to my Exchange Server 2013 and Office 365 account, and I checked again - with success.

I did not use auto-discover, even though my Server is configured for it. Events synched in real time, no issues.

There are a few threads on the Apple Developer forums, however, I did not post there. I talked with a friend who could not connect - as I had included in one of my posts, System Preferences truncated the "@" and everything that followed in my user name during set up, and I simply added the @ along with my domain. My friend's set up in Calendar had the same missing data in his Calendar log in - changing his username to the full "username@domain.com" fixed that.

Is anyone else finding the Exchange / Calendar is not working as well in DP2 compared to DP1?

Appointments arrive in mail, don't get passed through to Calendar and when you double click them in mail they 'sometimes' get inserted but you cannot see it happen

Also the appointment details are not available to view in mail so you are double clicking blindly.

...having to rely on my iOS device to accept meeting requests and it looks like 'acceptance' is not being passed back to the sender either.

I have 2 Exchange accounts on my DP2. The first one I added (work, O365) does not sync the calendar. The second one I added (personal, O365) does sync.

Both were added in the same way.

Thanks for the tip - that worked for me. I was having the same problem connecting so I I keyed in the full username with the domain, and voila - Exchange calendar up and running! Thanks!

Would you be able to provide the steps to make that change? I think that would enable me to get the calendar working again...
