Deleted Profile - missing calendar

[jstein1206]

Okay, here's a weird one. I think. Long story short.

Running Small Business Server 2000. Client has Outlook 2000. Client
had shared outlook calendar setup. Today someone went in and removed
the Profile (under Control Panel/Mail/Profiles). Then re-added the
profile. Everything works fine, mail is there and personal calender is
there. However, the shared calendars are missing. I'm sort of getting
in the middle of this. Obviously the mail and her personal calendar is
stored on the Exchange server. Is the shared calendars also stored on
the Exchange Server?

I believe I know the problem... when the profile was deleted and
recreated we didn't specify the location of the PST file that has the
shared folders. However, I could be wrong.

SO my question is... if the shared folders are on the exchange server,
why aren't they showing up? and if i need to "point" the profile where
do i point it to?

or... if the PST file is stored locally, where can i find this? i have
pointed the profile to multiple PST files on the local C drive and the
only one I have found is when i try to open the shared calendar it says
"location has changed".

also, tidbit of info.... this same person got a new pc about 10 months
ago. After adding the PC to the domain, had the user sign on and
EVERYTHING appeared automatically in outlook... including shared
calendar, i didn't do ANYTHING... didn't move any files over,
everything was already there... which leads me to think everything is
on the exchange server?

thanks...i know this is confusing...

What shared folders are you referring to? Outlook doesn't use a .pst file to store any folders shared with Exchange.
