I've asked this before but I'm not satisfied with the answers... And now I can't even find my old post, so here goes.I want to be able to share out a PUBLIC FOLDER calendar (that was originally created when we were on Exchange 2003) out to the anonymous web users via a web link, with read-only priviliges of course. We used to be able to share out public calendars on our web page to our public over the Internet publicly, but now that we've "upgraded" to exchange 2007 on our Win2008server we seem to not be able to share them out any more. People tell me that I need to spend an additional $10,000 to get SHAREPOINT and license it for the public use of such folders. Seems rediculous to me. Then I've read at this post: http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2008/03/31/448537.aspxthat public folders are still supported in Exchange 2007 but doens't go into any detail about sharing out the public calendars over the web. I could replicate the data to our existing web server if needed and if possible. Is there a way, is there?? Thanks in advance for the help.Dave Niemeyer

Have you seen below?

Thanks Vinod. I'll research these methods and let you know if one does the trick for our situation. (OH, AND I MEANT EXCHANGE 2007, not 8.)Dave

O.K., I think we'll go with a webdav server and I'll just use Outlook 2007 and share it out via that server. We don't have one now, I think our other IT guys are thinking that webdav opens up a lot of perimssions all across the web server, not just certain folders, so perhaps we'll just make some other server than our existing web server as a webdav webserver and only put calendar-like info on it. So I think for now, vinod, yous is the answer, above. Thanks. One more related question: Can someone point me to a link of an existing calendar that's on a webdav server so I can see what it looks like? Also, I read thatthis methodDOES NOT share out the associated documents that might be attachments on the calendar item. With exchange 2003 we got really used to the idea that calendar items like board meetings could be posted along with the minutes and agenda publicly (outto the web via a web link)right on the calendar. Is there a workaround for the webdav server and sharing via outlook 2007 method as described above?Nemo (dave)

I'm getting feedback from another guy here that the method of using Outlook 2007 to share the calendar to the web, a webdav server,doesn't make a web link. It makes a link to be emailedthat a person can click on in their email program, I assume Outlook, and then they can view the calendar, but it doesn't allow anonymous users to view over the web. If that is true then this isn't the answer. Come on somebody.... There's got to be a way to share out an exchange 2007 public calendar out to the web for anonymous review over the web. Sharepoint won't be the solution. I've been quoted $10k for ourinstitution to use sharepoint publicly. That's not reasonable to have to spend that much money to recover functionality we had before the "upgrade" to exchange 2007... How bout 3rd party? How bout a method to replicate the calendar to a web server every so often? But it has to be viewable to anonymous visitors over the web, not require authentication.Dave N
