Fix for Google Calendar Sync Issue
I’ve had a problem with Google Calendar Sync for awhile. While trying to sync my work outlook account to my google calendar account the process seemed to only sync the appointments and not the meetings. I’ve tried multiple things over time to no avail. Today however I found a fix.
Apparently Google Sync needs to resolve the names it finds on your meetings. To do this it tries to access the address list, but does not look in all your sources. So when JohnDoe@mycomany.com sends me an invite Google Sync tries to find Joe in my address book. The problem is Joe is in the company book not my local copy. Since my address book is first in the list, Google doesn’t find Joe there and errors out, thus leaving the invite unsynced.
To resolve this you need to set your global address book as the first source for address resolution. In Outlook 2007 go to Tools > Address Book > Tools > Options. Update your outlook settings so the Global list is first. Restart outlook, and perform a Sync. Voila! All your meetings and invites are now loading into Google Calendar

Best of luck, let me know if it worked for you.
