Windows 7 Lync Presence Not Updating with Outlook

[Danny1]

On my calendar I have a couple of appointments, but my status on Outlook still says "available" and "free for the next 8 hours". This is the case even though "Update my presence based on my calendar information" is checkmarked in Lync settings.
