使用outlook 2010打开失败时可以检查下面几点：

Applies To:

• Workflow Conductor 2.1 and higher

• SharePoint Server 2010 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

• Microsoft Outlook 2007 and Microsoft Outlook 2010

In Workflow Conductor 2.1 and higher, e-mail notifications sent for workflow tasks can be recognized by Microsoft Outlook as SharePoint tasks. Outlook adds the Edit this Task button (Open this Task, in Outlook 2010) to the Outlook message toolbar to allow users to update the task in SharePoint.

Full SharePoint task integration in Microsoft Outlook is only available with SharePoint Server 2010 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. TheEdit/Open this Task button does not work if the workflow task was created in SharePoint Foundation 2010 or Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. This is a SharePoint limitation.

The following additional requirements must be met for the Outlook Edit/Open this Task button to work with Workflow Conductor tasks:

• The SharePoint server and the machine running the Microsoft Outlook client must be in the same Active Directory domain.

• The SharePoint site where the task was created must be a trusted site in IE. To check if the site is trusted, open a new IE browser window (close all other IE windows first). Browse to the site. If you are prompted for a user name and password, the site is not yet trusted. Add the site to the Trusted Sites list in IE to enable Outlook Edit Task functionality.

When you see the Edit/Open this Task button at the top of a workflow notification message, click on it to view the workflow task in SharePoint and perform any required actions.
