Sync personal calendar with calendar on server

[skipr1]

Our agency uses Microsoft Office 2003 Pro with Windows XP Pro. Our server is
a Windows 2000 exchange server. I created a "coverage calendar" on our
server that all the managers can log who was absent, and who covered for
them. We are in the process of switching all of our desktops to laptops, and
I have one laptop that is just for the "On Call" manager, and it will pass
from person to person each week depending who is on call. We need the
coverage calendar information availible on the managers on call laptop when
they are at home or out running around. How do I make that computer's
personal calendar sync with the coverage calendar on the server so they have
access to that information while out of the office and disconnected from the
network?

Is the calendar in a mailbox or in a public folder in Exchange? If the
laptop is configured to use cached exchange mode changes made to the
calendar will be updated with the server regularly.

Thanks for the input. I just figured it out. I have to add the server
calendar to "favorites" then in options select "download favorites for
offline use", and then it will be accessible. Thanks for the help.
