Calendar Permissions to a Group do not work?

[Scott Townsend]

Seems like if I give a Group Author Permissions to my Calendar,
the people in the Group do not end up with Author Permissions?

So I have groups set up like

CompanyName
OfficeLocation1
User1
User2
OfficeLocation2
User3
User4
Employees
User1
User2
User3
User4


On the Calendar If I add CompanyName or Employees as Author, they cant see
my calendar.
If I add User#, they are able to see the Calendar


We are using Exchnage Server 2003 SP2, Active Directory on Win2003, Outlook
2003 & Outlook 2007 clients.

Thanks,
Scott<-

You can use a mail-enabled security group (not a distribution group) to set
permissions, as long as you've got AD running in native mode.

I've got all Win2003 AD machiens Except 1. ITs Win2000.

I've Tried with Security/Distribution, Domain Local, Global, Universal and
none of them seem to work.

The Group that I'd like it to work with is:
Type: Security Group - Universal
It is Mail Enabled.

So Maybe its not the Group? So what is the 'Default' in the Permissions?
A new user has in it, an Anonymous and Default. I can only seem to get
users to be able to see other calendars if I add them directly or change
default to Author.

Thanks,

Make sure all those nested groups are also mail-enabled universal
security groups.

Blimey! A Nested group was a Distribution Group! Flipped it to Security
and all is Grand!!!! thanks!

So is there a place that gives a good explaination on what the Differences
between all of the otpions are? Security/Distribution, Domain Local,
Global, Universal

Thanks!

A text on the AD basics should provide that, but /briefly/:


A group contains a collection of objects in a property named
"members".

A distribution group isn't a security principal, it can't be used to
ACL anything.

A security group is a security principal, it can be used to ACL
things.

The "scope" of the group defines what may be placed into the members
property (objects from only its own domain or objects from other
domains). It also defines where the members property values can be
seen (within the same domain or from other domains).
