Outlook 2003 & Public Folders Calendar

[Guest]

Hello
I am running a SBS 2003 with Outlook 2003 clients connecting to the Exch.
All is well and works as expected, with the exception of two computers (2
different users)

Setup:
using a public calendar for companywide events that anyone can add items to.

Problem:
to get the public calendar to outlook's "other calendar" section it needs to
be added to public favourites. on all machines , when you right click the
calendar and select add to favourites, it creates a link to the calendar and
all is well (note if you go to properties of this item, most options are
greyed out).

On two machines, when following the same procedure, it appears as if a
"copy" not a link is created. The "Global calendar" does not show items in
global calendar in public folders and any item posted to this "link" does not
show on anyones computer in the public folder global calendar.
When you go check the properties, although all items point to same location
as on the other pc's, I noticed that all options are available to be modified.

the two users in question do not have any special priviledges on domain.

Anyone ran into an issue like this?

Thanks

Did you try to have those 2 users log on a diffrent machine and try to work
with the public folder calendar from there?
If it works then you can assume that something is wrong with their local
windows profiles...Recreating them might solve the problem

that is the one thing I can not test at the moment, any other ideas?
