Calendar entries categorized but not colored in Exchange environment

Question

In a small three-user environment running Outlook 2007 on Exchange 2010, all users previously just used one user's calendar as their main calendar. New employee #4 has been set up with his own calendar per the owner's request, they use colored categories for their calendar events, and his categorized activities are not showing up as colored on the other users' Outlook calendars - only his own. What settings should I look at to enable the correct color coding again?

Solution

I've found that if a user renames the default categories or in any way uses the default colors for their own custom categories it will not color in the items on the calendar. Everyone must use the default color scheme or all use the same custom categories. Maybe by pushing them out to all OL clients.

Maybe these categories are not in your Master Category List?
