Re: How do I connect to someone else alternate calendar?

To access a shared folder that isn't one of the folders listed on the File |
Open | Other User's Folder dialog, the mailbox owner needs to grant Reviewer
permission to the root of the mailbox, as well as appropriate permission on
the folder.

The user who needs access then goes into Tools | E-mail Accounts or Tools |
Services (depending on the Outlook version), brings up the properties for
the Exchange Server service, and on the Advanced tab, adds the mailbox.

For more information on folder permissions, with how-to screen shots, see

So we're saying that if Larry creates a secondary calendar & wishes to share
it with Curly, Larry's PRIMARY calendar has to be shared?

Does the sharing permission of the secondary calendar have to be 'equal to
or less than' the permissions of the primary calendar?

Thank you for the tip, but:
Granting Reviewer permission to the root to a big team, and having to
explain to each person to change the Exchange service properties, is too
intrusive.
All I want to do is share an alternate (non default) calendar!
Isn't there another, less intrusive way? Or should I just forget about it?

No, there is no other way.

Maybe you should be sharing a folder in the Public Folders hierarchy instead?

Hi-
I tried to create the calendar in the public folders and I got this message:
"Unable to create the folder. You do not have sufficient permission to
perform this operation on this object. See the folder contact or your system
administrator."
Should I ask my Sys Admin?
I looks like there is not a lot of content within the Public Folders, I am
starting to think that my request will be rejected when I ask for
permission.... my Sys Admin is not very open to creative requests... if you
know what I mean.
Pablo

Yes, you need to ask the Exchange administrator if there is a place in the Public Folders hierarchy where you can create a folder to share.
