Entourage 2008, Exchange 2007 Advanced Settings and Calendars

[Chris Ryder]

Filling in the advanced public folders.

My exchange sever is services.xxxxxxxxxx.net using ssl. This is the
Exchange 2007 front End Server

I have Tried
just services.xxxxxxxxxx.net
services.xxxxxxxxxx.net/public.

The OWA does not even use the folder tree shown here (DNS mapped server and
hidden tree) so I cannot see it there. Using the OWA settings only worked
with Exchange 2003 the latest 2007 does different things.

The host company assures me the shared folders have not been renamed or
moved.

Regardless of what comes after the servername (/public /foo) I can now see
the free/busy for another user but not their Calendar. (I have checked that
I have access and can see it in Outlook 2007 on a PC).

From this I would deduce that the folder bit is not needed and just the
servername is required, Entourage works out the rest internally. (A
Confirmation from MS would be nice)

My Questions.

1. How do I see other peoples Calendars? When I try File->Open Other User's
Folder and select Calendar from the list. I always get 'The user's folder
could not be found' Entourage could not find a mailbox for the user and then
the correct Global address book name.

2. I cannot update my Calendar from Entourage I get a Sync Error -18500 and
no update on the server. Can this be related?

you need to have delegation rights for the corresponding accounts, and
then you should be able to subscribe to their calendars.
If it's the free/busy information you are simply looking for, you can
already get it when you create a new event and attempt to invite these
people,

I'm not with Microsoft but I can confirm that you should only need the
server address. Adding the "/public" may be necessary in some cases but
only when necessary.

Hope this helps!

I do have delegation rights (I can see these Calendars in Outlook 2007
under Windows on a PC with the same account).

Any further suggestions?
I am beginning to suspect it has something to do with the lack of an LDAP
server but I am shooting in the dark here.

Did you enter their login in the list of people you are delegate for in
the Delegate tab of the setup of your Exchange account?

I'm nto sure LDAP is requred (but I have never tested without it).

That's not good... There has to be something wrong in your settings.
