shared calendar/contacts

C

Chris

We would like to have a master list of contacts, some entries would be
employees who have mailboxes on the exchange server, some would be external
people (companies we deal with) We'd like to maintain this master list
centrally, and have it's entries show up combined into each users Contacts
list in outlook.

Same basic principle for Calendar, we have a master list of important dates,
and we'd like to have these show up merged into our users calendar in
outlook.

We've seen that we can create a calendar and share it, and then users can
view that shared calendar. But it's akward to use, and we can't see how to
view a shared calendar in OWA.

We've also tried creating a public folder, but we can't seem to make the
public folder a "calendar" folder.

We are using Exchange 2003, with a mix of Outlook 2003 and OWA clients.

Thanks,
Chris

We've also tried creating a public folder, but we can't seem to make the
public folder a "calendar" folder.

To create a public calendar folder, choose Calendar Items from the Folder
Contains drop-down list on the New Folder dialog.

You can create a public contacts folder, too.

Question one:
That's not standard on outlook or exchange.
third party tool: www.Teamcontacts.com

Question two:
Go into public folders and do New-Folder but
select "folder contains appointment items"
that will create a public calendar and you can view it in
OWA as well.
