Preventing Duplicate Calendar Events

[DryDoc]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Email Client: Exchange Even with the upgrade to MacOffice 2008 I am still getting multiple duplicated events off of exchange server. I have my MobileMe and iCal set to no sync, but it is still occurring. I see references in forum with 2004, but does someone know of a fix or third-party plug in that will scrub the calendar?

Are you running any antivirus on your Mac?

Delete Duplicate Calendar events for Exchange Users:

Use Duplicate Killer Merger for Microsoft® Outlook

<http://duplicatekiller.4team.biz/>

Be sure to quit Entourage while running DK. Essentially it will clear your
Entourage cache when you began syncing it with Exchange again.

For Entourage's calendar "On My Computer".......

There is a scrubber for iCal call iCal Dupe Deleter. You could clean up in
iCal then use sync to overwrite everything with iCal. Be sure to turn off
Sync Services while you are cleaning up your data.

We have a script, Remove Duplicate Calendar Events Author: Jolly Roger
posted for Entourage, but it can take hours to run.

I ended up using Jolly Roger's script and is running now. I have used Duplicate Killer previously on Windows, but it isn't available for Mac that I know of.
Thanks for the advice.

There is also Spanning Tools for Mac. I like their suite of applications.
