Share Calendar with SBS 2003

[Georgija]

At our 20 users company, I installed Microsoft SBS2003 and we all use
Microsoft Outlook 2003.
I would like to set up one calendar, so that each user can view/edit. This
will be our company shared calendar. I know that each user can share it's
calendar, but, I would like a separate one.

Question is:
Is this only possible only by creating an additional user on the SBS2003
server (example: Calendar) and use its mailbox/calendar for these sharing
purposes?
Or is there another solution?

Thanks,
Georgija

Hi Georgija,

The preferred solution would be to create the shared calendar as a Public
Folder.

1. Right-click 'All Public Folders', select New folder... Under 'Folder
contains:' in the 'Create New Folder'-dialogue choose Calendar Items. Name
your folder and click Ok.
2. Right-click your newly created calendar. On the Permission Tab, assign
Default the Editor role.

The other method would be to use the Vacation calendar on the sharepoint
Companyweb site included in SBS 2003.

I guess I gave an "OK" - Answer too soon!
When doing the suggested, I have the following message:
"Unable to create folder. You do not have sufficient permission to perform
this operation on this object. See the folder contact your system
administrator."

What next?

Did you contact your system administrator?

Is your user account a member of the Domain Admins group? If not, log on as
Administrator in order to create the shared calendar object and assign the
appropriate permissions.

Thanks. It worked.
I did not make the user account memeber of the Domain Admins (it is the
secretary in the company), but, rather, logged on as the Administrator and
created the calednar with permissions myself.
Cheers,
Georgija
