    Exchange 2000/Shared Calendars?

    I'm feeling i'm definitely missing something here from a domain admin point of view, I wish to setup some shared calenders and i've found the only way to do this from a central administration setup is to provide access to people's inbox's via the Advanced Exchange tab in AD. (far too much access for what i'm trying to do with shared calendars)

    Yet in outlook I have a much finer set of setup granularity of editor/(add/view) and just view commands on calendar or anything I want to grant permissions on.

    However I don't want to have to go round individual machines and set this up, Am I missing a feature?, or am I right in thinking i can't do this from a domain point of view?.

    Help please?

    Are you wanting to create resource calenders ( for meeting room bookings etc ?)
    Sharepoint has some nices ones which will integrate with outlook.

    You can also have calenders in public folders.

    Re: Exchange 2000/Shared Calendars?

    Hate to say it but I disagree, sharepoint calendars suck big time, i've set one up and its poo, no link to WHO is attending via exchange without major effort, and no i'm not trying to do meeting room bookings. That easy enough to do I agree, i'm trying to do something much more engineering/booking orientated.

    Public folders still doesn't do what I want either. Shared calendars provides what i'm after, just without the capability to manage it centrally, its fine once its setup (at least on the test i've done). I just need to understand if i've missed something on the admistration side.

    Thanks

    Calendars in Public Folders are the way I'd do it, but I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do (the reference to engineering/booking isn't 100% clear) - can you go into more detail without having to kill us?

    Re: Exchange 2000/Shared Calendars?

    I need a single or limited set of people person to be able to see many people's calendars and set where they are going to be and link them to job sheets. Shared calendars don't allow you to set other people's appointments without you personally being invited.



    Is this granularity in AD/Exchange?.

    I bet Lotus Notes does it....

    but only if you're One Armed, with a black socks on your fingers and you are called Ambrose the Leader, and you have a hamster called Shark Killer.

    And if you have 4 buttons on your mouse

    And you love mushrooms in icecream
