Exactly same problem as Florian, can no longer search shared calendar since KB2956128 update. Taken all morning to work it out by removing Office, reinstalling and applying the recent updates one by one. We have Outlook 2010 and Exchange 2013. Removed this one update and works again.

Edit: Slightly different error message actually:- "The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found". We use custom Outlook forms.

We are having the exact issue as you stated. Currently looking into what might be causing the issue.

So glad I found this. A couple PC's in our environment that are setup to test the latest updates had OCS crash every 2 or 3 min after installing updates from the February patch release. Both PCs are running Office 2010 x32 with OCS 2007 R2.

Here is the crash message:

Problem signature:

Was able to at least control the crashes using this tip I found here: OCS client crash fix

"Method one: Configure PIM to sync with None or Windows Address Book

Office Communicator does not crash if you set the PIM to sync with None or Windows Address Book. However, Communicator operates with limited Outlook Integration.

1. Start Office Communicator.
2. On the green button menu, click Options, and then click Personal.
3. In the Personal information manager list, click either None or Windows Address Book."

Unfortunately, my search function was still broken. Began to dig around on this and while I found no Office Communicator patches released and installed from the February patch Tuesday, I found it odd that KB2956128 was actually listed as being installed twice on both affected machines.

After I removed both instances of KB2956128 and set the OCS Personal Information Manager back to "Microsoft Office Outlook (Contacts, ...." it has been running without any crash for 30 min now.

HOWEVER, I still don't have the search function in OCS after having removed KB2956128, but glad it is not crashing every 2 min.

UPDATE: Search function appears to have restored now as well. Perhaps there was a file that needed to sync and/or rebuild? OCS is now fully functional on the two PCs after removing KB2956128 and giving it 15 to 30 min for search function to be restored on the PC with OCS running.

Hi,

We have Outlook 2010 with Exchange 2010. After installing the latest Patches for Outlook (KB2956128) we had problems with the search. We couldn't search (Advances search) in shared calendar.
Error: Outlook cannot perform your search. Outlook cannot display this view.
After unistalling this patch the search works fine. Has someone the same problem with this patch?

Thanks

Hi Florian,

We have Outlook 2010 with Exchange 2003. The issue we experienced did not affect searches, but it did result in a login dialog being presented to the user every 2 or 3 minutes, which they had to cancel. Supplying correct credentials did not clear the dialog. We likewise had to pull this update due to the effect on the end user.

Regards,

Ben

Same issue as Ben regarding login dialog (Outlook 2010 - Exchange on SBS2003). Removed update and problem goes away.

We have Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 SP1 with Exchange 2013.  I have not seen a problem with searches, but Outlook kept restarting.  I uninstalled patch KB2956128 and it seems to be stable again.
