Free/busy information

[Guest]

I am the mail administrator for an Exchange 5.5 environment. Our users are
using Outlook 2002. Currently, I am able to see all users appointments when
I schedule meetings. Other users are not able to see the appointments (which
is what we want). I have other mail administrators who also cannot see the
appointments of other calendars when scheduling appointments. How come I can
see the appointments?

Its been a long time since I looked at this. However if you look at the
top of the user mailbox tree in Exchange Administrator you will probably
see that you are listed as having rights. The other admin users probably
don't.

It may also be setup as distribution group permissions. ie you may be in
the Exchange admin group or have equivalence to. Once you get into the
tree it is pretty easy to work out. Users can (normally) also assign
rights to the top of their mailbox tree or to any subfolder. This is how
for example one user would grant access to another user to read or read
write etc your mail/contact etc folders. It's pretty slick!

I assume you are talking about the ability to "see" another's complete
calender rather than just knowing whether they are available or not (ie
free/busy) That would be likely another issue.

Cheers Bob

Thanks for the info, but I am talking about the Free/Busy info that I can see
when I schedule appointments. When I include someone into a scheduled
appointment, I can not only see the times/dates they are available, but I can
also see what the appointment is.
