    Hi all,

    I checked further and I see we got a support case with this issue. In this case the root cause was that OWA had not been used and configured before it was disabled. In case this could be the issue can you try these steps below?

    Workaround:

    • enable OWA for a user experiencing the issue
    • open OWA - language/timezone page should be shown - fill language and timezone, enter to OWA
    • exit OWA
    • disable OWA (OWAEnable=false)
    • try to repro the issue.

    A bug has been opened to investigate a fix for this scenario.

    Confirmed, this worked on a user I tested it on. Unfortunately, this isn't really viable for the entire organization... but helps on the most vocal people.
