SharePoint & Exchange: Synchronize Tasks
How do I Access "My Tasks" in SharePoint?
Open your "My Site" site. On left navigation, select My Tasks.
Requirements to Synchronize Tasks between SharePoint & Exchange
- Exchange 2013 is required
- You must install Exchange 2013 Web Services Managed API 2.0 on all SharePoint Servers
- Installing the EWSManagedApi.msi on a single SharePoint server is not enough to make the integration work.
- You must install EWSManagedApi.msi version 2.0 (I have tested version 2.1 and 2.2; I was not able to install these versions in the SP 2013 environment)
- User Profile Synchronization must be configured for the SharePoint farm
- For information about configuring user profile synchronization, see: Plan user profiles and identities (SharePoint Server 2013), and Manage user profile synchronization in SharePoint Server 2013.
- Work Management service must be configured in the SharePoint farm
- For information about creating the work management service application, see: New-SPWorkManagementServiceApplication
- Secure Socket Layer (SSL) must be configured for the Default zone for the web applications that are deployed in scenarios that support server-to-server authentication and App authentication
- For more information, see Create claims-based web applications in SharePoint 2013 and follow the steps for creating an SSL site collection and server certificate.
- If you are using a non-trusted SSL (ex: Self-signed SSL Certificate), you must import the SSL certificate to SharePoint and from SharePoint to Exchange

How Do I Disable Task Synchronization?
After a while of searching we could found that Integration between SharePoint Server and Exchange Server can only be disabled on-premises who will resolve our issue. To disable it, you turn off the Farm Level Exchange Task Sync feature by going to Central Administration è Manage farm features. This action deletes the timer job and disables the UI integration, bringing back the legacy sync behavior to Outlook.

Troubleshooting
When a user navigates to the SharePoint’s My Task page, that user can find the Sync to Outlook button in the Tasks pane of the ribbon.

After clicking that button, the opt-in dialog box is shown. Select the Sync tasks check box to opt in.

When try to synchronize My Tasks with Outlook 2010 or 2013 you get the following error:
We weren’t able to start syncing your tasks because one or more prerequisites for connection to Exchange server could not be found. Please contact your Administrator to resolve the issue.
