Setting Calendar Permissions Centrally

[Ian C]

Hi

I manage a small network (about 18 users) running win 2000/XP, Server 2000,
and Outlook 2002 on the clients. All users on the network need to have the
same basic level of access to each other's calendars and I'd like to be able
to set this by default. At the moment every time a new member of staff joins
I have to ask all the separate users on the network to individually add them
on to their Outlook delegates list.

Is there any way to set standard level of calendar access centrally?

I've looked at the possibility of getting each user to add our "all staff"
distribution list to their delegates list, in the hope that this would simply
grant permission to all users currently included in that list. This doesn't
seem to work, however.

Also, I've tried looking for any global policies on the server which I might
be able to set, but can't see anything that looks appropriate.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Ian

Get the free PFDavAdmin tool from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=635BE792-D8AD-49E3-ADA4-E2422C0AB424. It can manage mailbox folder permissions, as well as public folder permissions.

Thanks - I'll give that a go and let you know if it works out.

I've installed this tool now and it works a treat. Thanks for the help.
