Can't set work time in OL 2010, all options are grayed out. Using Windows XP Pro in an AD environment. After OL 2010 was first installed, I was able to set it, now my work hours are back at the default (7 to 7) and I can't make any changes as every option is grayed out. I have a co-worker who set his, it is still set at what he set it to but his is also grayed out. He cannot change his either. OL/File/Calendar/Work Time (Path to options). Anyone know why this may have happened?
 
it sounds like there is a group policy set. While you can't change it, you can look in the registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook and see if its set there.
 
Thank you for the response. Well, it seems I am so busy that I forgot to troubleshoot this issue. Today, I remembered and went to the registry key you provided, nothing there that I could see that related to setting work time. I went back in to check the options again to see if they were still grayed out and they we not. Now I am able to set the time again. So, not sure what happened or what changed. I know I have rebooted since then, maybe that was it? IDK. So, my fix was to either 1. Reboot, or 2. Give it some time. Again, thank you for your quick response. :)
