macOS Ventura Update Causes Problems to Microsoft Exchange Users | Here's What We Know So Far

After macOS Ventura (the latest macOS operating system) was rolled out, some users complained about problems that occurred on their Microsoft Exchange account.

The problem seems to be specific to macOS Ventura. Users running on macOS Monterey have not encountered the same issues, MacRumors reports.

Calendar, Date And Time, Other Related Bugs

Below are some of the issues the users have reported on Twitter, the Apple Support forum, and MacRumos Forums:

1. Microsoft Exchange Calendar. Users said the Exchange Calendar does not properly sync with the reminders list or Apple's calendar.

2. Date And Time. In other instances, the calendar syncs with the built-in calendar Apple. But a different issue was reported, such as the dates and times do not sync correctly.

3. Other Related Bugs. In addition, users also reported other related bugs, such as the reminders not syncing and event invitations do not come through.

macOS Ventura Update

The Cupertino tech company rolled out the new version of macOS Ventura to users on Oct. 24

Apple, according to Macworld, confirmed that macOS Ventura supports the following models of Mac, namely:

MacBook models from 2017 or later
MacBook Air models from 2018 or later
MacBook Pro models from 2017 or later
Mac mini models from 2018 or later
Mac Pro models from 2019 or later
All models of Mac Studio
iMac models from 2017 or later
All models of iMac Pro

That being said, the following Macs, which Monterey had supported previously, were taken off the list:

iMac (models from 2015)
MacBook Air (2015 and 2017 models)
MacBook Pro (2015 and 2016 models)
2014 model of Mac mini
Mac Pro (2013 model, the 'trash can')
2016 model MacBook

Although these Macs had fallen off the list, people who had purchased these will take comfort in knowing that macOS Monterey still supports them, at least for two more macOS generations.

The Hype

Was it all hype when Apple introduced the new macOS Ventura?

Apple enumerated the amazing benefits Mac users can get from the update, such as:

Mac can get even better with macOS Ventura with a swath of ways to get things done, collaborate and share using your apps of choice, get supercharged with its next-level games, and make the most out of the other devices.
The users will enjoy the new Mail features with its improved search function and receive suggestions before typing.
Enhanced image search.
Improvements with Safari.
Messaging gets better with a host of amazing features. Users can edit a recently sent message or unsent it if it suits them.

Either MacOS Ventura or Microsoft

The cause of these problems was not yet known. Maybe, it's not a macOS Ventura thing. Microsoft might have the ball in its court.

But some reports said some Mac users operating on macOS Monterey had not encountered the problems.

The best thing is that all users running on macOS Monterey and maintaining Microsoft Exchange accounts should wait for these issues to be resolved before they get the macOS Ventura update.
