Invalid XML Response Unable to Retrieve Availability or OOF Settings

Topic Last Modified: 2009-08-18

The Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer sends GetUserOofSettings and GetUserAvailability XML/HTTP requests to the Exchange Web Services service using the Exchange Web Services API to test operations used by Exchange clients and custom applications. When invalid XML is returned in the response, the Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer tool generates the following error:

"Invalid XML response, unable to retrieve Availability or OOF Settings."

The Microsoft Remote Connectivity Analyzer tool uses the GetUserOofSettings Operation and GetUserAvailability Operation to retrieve a user’s OOF settings and scheduled availability in the calendar respectively. These operations are used by clients such as Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 as well as custom applications.

For More Information

To correct this error, see Outlook 2007 crashes or you cannot access OOF settings after you install a package that contains the .NET Framework 3.5 with SP1 and the .NET Framework 2.0 with SP2 on an Exchange 2007 Client Access server.
