I do not have an exchange sever for mail we go through OWA but I have been given a project to set up a public school calendar. How would I do that if I do not have exchange running?

Hi Matthew, Short question, you take OWA to connect where ? What do you think about a hosted solution for the school, such as Office 365 for education : http://www.microsoft.com/liveatedu/office365.aspx?locale=en-US&country=US
