Unwanted "Calendar on behalf of" problem

[Calvin C]

To All,
We're using Outlook 2007 and Exch 03 ENT.

It's very common we all have some other users' shared calendars in the
Outlook. However, some times by mistakes, users send out the invitations on
behalf of one the "shared calendar's users" in Outlook instead of himself.

After investigation, I found out if I click on one of the shared calendars,
says John Doe's, then click on the "Calendar" bar in the navigation bar
(left pane in Outlook), then I'm in John Doe's calendar instead of me. I can
see the Outlook title has changed from "Calendar - Microsoft Outlook" to
"John Doe - Calendar - Microsoft Outlook". Therefore, if I ignore it, the
invitation I send out from John Doe on behalf of myself.



Please advise that how can I avoid this problem.

Thanks
Calvin

Only give all users Reviewer rights on the shared calendars.
