Creating a shared event that doesn't have to be accepted

K

Ken Alper

My company is about to move to an Outlook/Exchange server environment.
Currently, some users use Outlook and others use QuickMail to access a
POP3 mail server.

Right now, two of us are using the Exchange server in a testing mode,
but haven't been able to figure this out yet.

We want to be able to create events that appear on every user's
individual calendar, without having to send them as appointments that
each user will need to accept individually. Ideally, one user (the
schedule keeper) will be able to create these calendar entries (for
things like project due dates) on his calendar, and have them
automatically show up on the calendar of everyone else in the company.

We'd rather not resort to a public folder that people have to manually
look at -- we'd rather this be in each user's OWN calendar -- and due
to the sheer number of these events we need to put out (some days will
have multiple events attached to them), we'd rather not have to go the
appointment route, since that will inconvenience the users to have to
accept hundreds of these things.

I'd think there has to be an easy way to do this -- other companies
must want to put corporate events (payday, company holidays, the
annual holiday party) on everyone's calendar, no?

Any help would be appreciated.
