Setting up outlook to run with microsoft exchange

[needyIntern]

Heres the problem, there are three computers all using microsoft exchange but
the sharing capabilities that outlook provides are not being used, for
example when I create a meeting in my outlook it does not appear on any of
the others. I;ve searched and searched and all I could manage to figure out
was how to share contacts through the "public folder" but this is not ideal,
i would like to have Contacts, Calendars, Tasks, etc to be shared on all
computers!

To be honest I am not 100 percent certain that is the case, We have three
seperate emails that go through the exchange server, not sure if that is
useful information but I've been thrown into the middle of this problem and
don't have much information besides that!

You need to setup the shares. Make sure you have the Navigation Pane
viewable (Alt + F1). You won't see this option unless you are using an
Exchange Server, which you said you are so this option should be viewable.
You will need to select who has permission to view/edit your calendar,
contacts, and tasks. To do so you need to do one of the following:
1. Allow anyone access
a.) In the 'NAME' box click 'Default'
b.) Under 'Permissions' (in the Permission Level list) click the
permission you that you want. You can create custom permissions by selecting
the check boxes and options under 'Permissions'.

2. Specify who can access
a.) Click 'Add'
b.) In the 'Add Users' dialog enter the 'Username' you want to have
access.
c.) Under 'Add Users' click 'Add' and then 'OK'.
d.) In the 'Name' box, click the name of the person you just added.
e.) Under 'Permissions' (in the Permission Level list) click the
permission level that you want. Again, you can create custom permissions by
selecting the check boxes and options under 'Permissions'.

Hope that helps.
