Hello, I'm new to Exchange 2003. I am setting up a Windows Small
Business 2003 server and require a group calendar. I've created a
folder in Public Folders however I see no way to specify it act as a
calendar. I've looked through documention and several books and I see
all kinds of third-party software that created calendars for you,
however I see no instructions as to how to setup a group calendar
nativley in Exchange 2003.
Can anyone lead me to a website that has exact instructions or forward
me a set of instructions as how to do this? Even a basic outline of
what to do would help as I can figure out the rest.
Thanks!
This may sound a little unorthodox but this is a solution I set up and
the company seemed to like it. They wanted group calendaring as well
and had small business server so wanted to use exchange. They all used
outlook for thier mail client. I set it up via Outlook Web Access. It
was a small company so I'm not sure if this will work for you. This is
what I did. I set up a user account called group calendar (gave it no
rights really), disabled the mail option (pop3 connector) and enabled
Outlook Web Access. I gave the domain group that needed access to it
rights to the mailbox to read and write. I then gave the clients the
url to connect to the calander (http://"exchange
domain"/exchange/"groupcalendar"/calendar). They were able to populate
it as if it were thier own and everyone that needed access to it and
was granted access used it and while minimized even popped up
reminders for them. They were happy and that worked for me. Like I
said, it may be a bit unorthodox but on the fly, it did the trick.
Hope that helps to give you maybe a different angle to look at.
