We have monitors outside of our conference rooms displaying the Outlook
calendars for the respective rooms so people can see whether a room is booked
if they want to have an ad hoc meeting or to ensure they're at the correct
room for a scheduled meeting.

We use the weekly view as the most useful, but every Monday, someone has to
go to the computer that drives the display and manually advance the week. Is
there any method to do this automatically or programatically (such as a small
script that would restart Outlook on Monday at 0100)? We are using Outlook
2007.

BTW, I did try to embed OWA in a webpage that refreshed itself periodically,
but OWA logs off when the webpage refreshes.

Thank you!

You could kill the outlook.exe process with a script. It's not a nice way of
doing this but since it is for a conference room monitor only, I think you
could take the risk of possible ost-file corruption (just rebuild it in case
it happens or do not enable Cached Exchange Mode).

You can find a kill script in the backup script at the botom of this
article;
