Situation: CEO currently walks his Palm to 3 PC's on the LAN (each PC has a
cradle) on the network (his own PC, accountant's PC, and secretary's PC) and
syncs to each individual unit using the Palm Desktop software. Needless to
say, this is inefficient and time consuming. I have limited Palm knowledge
other than syncing Palm data with Outlook instead of the Palm Desktop
software, but only using one PC. I have never done this in network setting
where the data was to be accessible by multiple parties.
Network: I have just rolled out SBS 2003 Premium, all XP Pro clients,
Office 2003 Premium, complete with all of the latest updates and patches. I
am using Exchange 2003 internally and to pull POP accounts from our web site
into the network. Public folders are being used for shared Global contacts
and calendars. I would of course like to ultimately take his Palm data via
one cradle and import it into a MS solution, using Exchange/Outlook/Public
Folders. It would have to be easy or scripted as obviously I do not wish to
get involved with the daily synchronization. The palmOne Tungsten C
handheld is running on an ultra-fast 400MHz Intel processor, Palm OS 5.2.1
and 64MB of memory.
Questions:
1. Can I set it up so he could easily sync his data locally to his Outlook
2003 and perhaps publish it (automatically) to or create this data in a
public folder?
2. Should I just have him sync his Palm to his Outlook locally and
subsequently share his calendar with the other people?
Please feel free to offer any thoughts you may have.
Yours Truly,
