Sharing Outlook Schedule or Sync Calendar for Group

[ValS]

Can we create a group/department calendar?

Each person maintains their own calendar in Outlook, but sync that
information to a group calendar? Point being that a post would only have to
be made once to their Outlook calendar, there would not be a list of 30
Outlook "People" Calendars.

Or can we create a "group" under People's Calendars and be able to select
this group and view everyone's schedule within the that group on one calendar.

Lastly, if I can't do any of the above, is there a way for me to setup a
group Outlook Schedule and than share that with everyone in the department?

We do have access to Microsoft Exchange, but that would still mean that a
person would be posting appointments on their own Outlook calendar and than
on the shared calendar?

Thank you

With Exchange, I would set up a mail enabled calendar in public folders and
have the users create meeting requests 'inviting' PF calendar - or create
the appointments in the PF calendar and click the add to personal calendar
button.

There are also utilities that can be used to sync the personal and public
calendars. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync-mail.asp
