Hi: I want my IT group to put 4 conference rooms into the Outlook calendar,
so that each facility can see if the room is open or not without calling and
checking on a log sheet. I can't seem to get them off dead center on this
subject. It is the 21 century for god sake! So...I need someone to tell me
how to do it....so I can encourage this to happen. what a waste of time...

Please send me details on how to competle this probably very simple task.
My original e-mail was from 2005! Thanks, Hazel
 
Under Public Folders / All Public Folders / right click and make new folder /
folder will contain calendar items / make one for each conf. room
It will show up in everyones public folders.
You may have to do something with permissions, but when the IT department
sees you are doing things yourself, that will get their attention
 
Public folders are a poor solution, because they do not publish free/busy time. See http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/skedresource.htm for info on how to set up mailbox Calendar folders to handle rooms.
