Cannot Connect SharePoint Calendar to Outlook
Everytime I try to connect a SP calendar to Outlook I get the following error message. "Outlook cannot add the requested SharePoint folder. Contact the SharePoint site administrator." I can connect to other SP lists but not Calendars for some reason. This is affecting all users across all sites. I am the impromptu site administrator but I don't know a lot about SP yet. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Mtrosper,
Try to create a new SharePoint site, let’s say team site template. Then open the default calendar, click connect to Outlook, check the effect.
Or you can create a new web application, then create a new site, check the effect.
In addition, make sure the name of your calendar doesn’t have the space "%20".
If you were using WSS 2.0 or SharePoint 2003, you can refer to the following article:
"Outlook cannot add the requested Windows SharePoint Services folder" error message when you click Link to Outlook to add a Windows SharePoint Services Events list to Outlook 2003
