Free/Busy not visible on Exchange Server 2007

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
Email Client: Exchange

Hello All,

This is an issue that I've been trying to solve for a few months now. I've seen bits and pieces here and there about this is or isn't possible to solve but I want to get the final answer. My company has 40 users, an Exchange Server 2007 up-to-date with all patches running on Windows 2003 Server, about 30 of our users are on Macs. We can't use any of the shared calendaring functionality of Exchange which basically takes away half of the reason why we switched to Exchange from Qmail. What do I have to do to get this running 100% reliably?

Thanks,

Alex

Your public folder server is not necessarily the same as your Exchange
Server. Verify that you are using the correct address.

If your public folder server address is something like:

server.example.com

then try using something like:

server.example.com/exchange

Finally, verify whether or not you need SSL enabled or disabled.

Hope this helps!

Bill,

Thanks for the reply. Currently, our Public folder address is like:

server.example.com/public

If I replace the "public" with "exchange", I can no longer view the public folders. Also, we utilize SSL and the connection is configured as such.

Thanks,

Alex

Thanks for the reply. Currently, our Public folder address is like:

server.example.com/public

Sorry, that should have been:

server.example.com/public

If I replace the "public" with "exchange", I can no longer view the
public folders. Also, we utilize SSL and the connection is configured
as such.

By default, you shouldn't need to include the "/public". Leave that off
and see if that works.

If that doesn't work, then go into Safari and log in to your account
there. Go to your public folders there. What is that address?
