Well this was a minor annoyance I could have done without. Fortunately the solution is very simple.
If you are trying to SHARE a Calendar in Outlook and you receive the dreaded:
Calendar sharing is not available with the following entries because of permission settings on your network
you have likely typed the recipients email address in or used the address from your cached addresses. That will not work. What you need to do is click the TO button and select the intended recipient(s) from your address book. I used a corporate GAL and bingo all was well.

I’m trying to share my calendar with persons from two different outside organisations. It works fine for the one org., but for the other I get the above error. None of them are in my GAL.
So is there a setting on the recipients side I should be aware of?

It works 100% …. still in 2017-July yahoo!!!

Thank you. It worked and we have hosted exchange and only a work group. The key for us was selecting from the GAL.

I had similar problem where permission for the shared calendar were given as full owner to another user but still they couldn’t do anything., I found if the original owner removes their colleague from the share and close down outlook, re open and re add them with permissions. Then get the other user to remove the calendar close outlook re open it go to open a shared folder choose the users calendar and they should then be able to do what permissions are set.

If I hadn’t just witnessed it on a user’s computer, I would be calling bullsh*t. Yet, it works. Maybe best we don’t question it – if we understood it, it might bring the universe down upon us and replace it with something even more bizarre and inexplicable – which has probably already happened.

Also make sure the address book is set to the GAL and not some other as was the case for one of my users. Fixed the issue.

I do not even have the option to share. I don’t get an error message because I even click on the share button, as it is shaded out. Any suggestions?

I am sorry to say I have not seen that problem before.

Hi Courtney
You’ve probably worked it out by now, but make sure you’ve selected your calendar – if you’ve selected a calendar that’s shared to you, it won’t work. Just had this happen to a user who called me at work.

Excellent. Why this works is another question.
David H · June 26, 2015 at 6:20 am
Perfect, thank you.
Was driving me crazy

Nice fix. Simply click TO, select recipient and BOOM. Interesting to see that the issue is still in Office 2013, and newer exchange servers as well. This is my network:
Server 2003
Exchange 2008
Office 2010
Must be one of those issues that MS insists “Oh, it’s supposed to work like that.”
“But it doesn’t work”
“Uhh… Yeah, it’s supposed to work like that.”

This does not work for me. The user can send to everyone else but one specific person. Anyone know of more solution?????
