Receive notification when someone's calendar is updated

[peter.larsson]

Hi there,

We have a small company with 6 employees where the procedure when
adding calendar bookings has been to invite all other employees so
that they get notified about the new appointment and can see it in
their own calendar. We now want to move to individual but shared
calendars instead (the "correct" way), but a big disadvantage I see is
that when A adds a new booking, B does not know about it if he doesn't
actively look in A's calendar.

My question therefore: Is there any way to "subscribe" to calendar
updates to get notified if someone adds something to their calendar?
For example, as manager for the company, I like to know when someone
books say a customer visit.

Thank you in advance!

PS. We are running Exchange 2003 with Outlook 2003/2007 clients. DS.

You could use a Public Folder Calendar for these appointments but I don't know of an automatic method for notifying each person when the calendar is updated. See this page for some possible assistance: http://www.slipstick.com/addins/calendar.asp
