Notification who accesses shared calendar

[Eric]

Hello all

Our company decided that everyone should have read-access to all other
calendars. Personally I do not see what this brings and see it as an
invasion of privacy. However, I cannot do anything about it just yet.
Management is slow.

Is there a way to get a notifications when someones opens my calender. As
Exchange-Admin I can install components to all systems and to the exchange
server.

Does anyone know countermeassures I could take to keep my appointments
unread by others.
Making them "private" does not work, because our tech-team needs to read
them (and they have good reason).
Or should I set all entries to private and then make the tech-team owner of
my calendar. Which is not really what I want, but maybe it is a solution.

Exchange 5.5 (2003 by the end of the year)
Outlook 2000/2002/2003

Any help is appriciated.

Greetings
Eric

This isn't uncommon. I imagine these computers and servers are company
property. People should probably be careful of anything they put on a
company system.

Not really. If you have auditing enabled you may be able to see that user X
was the last login to user Y's mailbox, but that doesn't tell you much.
What would this really accomplish, anyway?

What does your company wish you to do on this front? What is it they want
others to see?

Making them "private" does not work, because our tech-team needs to
read them (and they have good reason).

They can probably see whatever they want anyway, so I'd probably go with
marking items private.

Or should I set all entries to private and then make the tech-team
owner of my calendar. Which is not really what I want, but maybe it

Not if your management wants other users to be able to see your
appointments.
