Symptoms

When a user tries to access the Calendar by using Outlook on the web (formerly known as Outlook Web App), that user receives the following error message:

This calendar isn't available. Please try again later.

Additionally, other users in your organization may be unable to see that user's free/busy information.

Cause

This problem can occur for one or more of the following reasons:

  • Corrupted items in the user's Calendar
  • Corrupted custom views
  • Corrupted navigation pane settings

Resolution

To resolve this problem, follow these steps.

Note

Before you perform these steps, make sure that the user has an Outlook profile set up.

  1. Run the Calendar Checking Tool for Outlook (CalCheck). To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Download and install Calendar Checking Tool for Outlook.

    2. Open a Command Prompt window, and then run the following command at the command prompt:

      calcheck -f -r

      Note

      This command creates a CalCheck folder, moves error items that it flags to the folder, generates a report, and then sends the report to the Inbox.

    3. Review the items that are flagged by CalCheck. If they are no longer necessary, remove them.

  2. Exit Outlook (if it's running), and then do the following.

    Note

    If you don't have access to an Outlook for Windows client, contact Microsoft 365 Support.

    1. Select Start, type outlook /resetnavpane in the search box, and then press Enter.

      Note

      After you run this command, you must restore any previously shared calendars to the user's Outlook profile.

    2. Select Start, type outlook /cleanviews in the search box, and then press Enter.

  3. Start Outlook on the web, and then try to access the Calendar again.
