Hello, Running Exchange Server 2003 Std currently, and Outlook 2010. Users would like to create a central company calendar that can take advantage of the Outlook features such as appointments, color categories, reminders, flags, etc, so everyone can see them. Example: User A creates an appointment in the central company calendar and then adds a color category to it, and sets a reminders on it. We'd then like Users B and C to be able to see the appointment in the company calendar, see the color assigned to it and the reminder. Is there a way with the new Exchange Server 2010 or a 3rd party app that can support calendar sharing this way? Any input is greatly appreciated! Thank You!

You can do this today utilizing Public Folders within Exchange. Same functionality in Exchange 2003 as 2010. Other option is using SharePoint to create shared calendars.Tim Harrington - Catapult Systems - http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com

The only issue with Public Folders is that you cannot invite a public folder to a meeting. However if you are looking to have an electronic version of a company diary, where all entries are made manually, then public folders are ideal. However I don't think reminders will work on a Public Folder. Who would be reminded? Public Folders don't belong to anyone.

Hi rjw3326, Per your description, I would do as below to achieve the target. Create a account&maibox ("CompanyCalendar"), make a rule that send an email to the CompanyCalendar whenever everyone make a meeting or appontment in the company. So CompanyCalendar account would receive all the appoinements or the meeting requests, that is catch all the calendar information. Then share the calendar to everone which want to read the information with permission readonly. If any one want to have other permission, you could gave them other permission such as owner, note, you also could make other account as delegate to control it. Please make a test to confirm whether it meet your needs. Regards! Gavin
