No Information in Scheduling Assistant?

[LAB]

Just started a new job and find that when I try to make a meeting or
appointment there is "no information" available on my attendees. I checked
with others in the building and they have the same issue. Seems they have
not used this feature in the past, but I would like to start them using it.
How do we get visibility to be able to see if a person is "busy" or "Out of
office" etc....
Thanks

You must be using an Exchange server and everyone must publish their free/busy
info. Tools>Options>Calendar Options>Free/Busy Options. Make sure the months
value for publishing isn't zero.
