Shared calender NOT showing...

[Marc]

Hello all,

I am trying to setup a shared calendar for some of the employees. We have Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 in a Server 2003 domain environment.

We also have Outlook 2003 with multiuser licences for all employees.

Now, using my Windows login account, I went into my Outlook, created a new calendar for testing. I made it to be shared and added in the other employees and gave them Publishing Editor access. My limited understanding at this point tells me the people who I just granted permissions to should see this calendar from their Outlook accounts...right?

But the problem is they can't see it. And the whole process looks too simple to be true. Is it a issue with my access priviledges? Should I do this from the Exchange server?

I am a bit confused at this point...please help!

Regards,
Starbuzz

No, that is not how it works. If you share a default folder, they need to
open it using File, Open, Other users folder. If you created the folder,
they need to open it in a secondary mailbox.

I see. So, it's impossible to share a new folder so creating another mailbox is the only way. hmm...I did the steps you wrote but I see that the permissions are not applied as I can see all the user's folder. :x

you're not creating another mailbox - just opening a secondary mailbox in
your profile. But yes, it's the only way to access non-default folders.

Can you only see the folders or also open them?
