outlook 2013: no free/busy data, autodiscover problems
charles recently brought this issue to my attention. we’ve had more than a handful of outlook 2013 users complain about calendaring issues and being unable to connect to exchange servers (and so on). turns out the problem is caused by having outlook 2013 and certain MS updates installed. microsoft released a fix for the issue on dec 13th, 2013: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2837618/en-us
