$h = Get-MailboxDatabaseCopyStatus -ident "Main Database\EXCHANGE-DR"
$c = $h.CopyQueueLength
$s = $h.Status
if ($c -gt 0){

Public Folder Calendar not showing events for 1 user

Clarify: Single user cannot view the items on public calendar folder, right?

Troubleshooting:

1. Go to affected user’s OWA, check public calendar folder from there

2. Open affected user’s outlook in safe mode Run->outlook /safe>

Notes: it can disable the influences from most 3rd-party Add-ons

3. Open affected user’s outlook with switch “Cleanviews” < Start->Run->outlook / Cleanviews>

Notes: Restores default views. All custom views user created are removed

4. Add a new mail profile with same affected user’s info on affected pc, check if the issue still persists

5. Create a new mail profile for affected user on a testing pc, check if the issue still persists

Collect info:

Windows client OS and outlook version

One user can’t see public folders on outlook.
