Hi! At my work we utilize mail and calendars in Outlook 2007 through an exchange account for each employee. My default Outlook contains one calendar, named "Calendar", whos meeting will show up as "busy time" when another user tries to book a meeting with me.

To keep myself organized I set up a second calender, called "Training", where I'll keep all my booked in-house courses. The problem is that if another user tries to book a meeting with me, only the appointments in the default "Calendar" will show up in their appointment planner. All meetings in my second calendar are ignored/not visible.

My IT-departments says this is not something that can be achieved, but dont give me any explaination why? Do anyone have a suggestion on this matter?

Best regards,

Henrik

Additional Calendars in a Exchange Mailbox are for personal use and the meeting requests will be placed on the default calendar only. So the meetings or appointments created on the calendar will accessed by you and there is no option to redirect the meeting request to additional calendars.

To complete your request, you can do two things

1. With the help of Exchange admin, you can share the additional calendar to your colleague to see the meetings or appointments in the additional calendar, and if he want to schedule a new meeting with you, he will directly create a new appointment in your additional calendar. I know this wont be your requirement.

2. Ask your exchange admin to create a new room mailbox called Yourname-Training and they will create a mailbox and add full access permission to your account on that mailbox. Now you can add that mailbox as a additional mailbox in your outlook. Ask your colleagues to send new meeting request to yourname-Training mailbox, the free busy information will be published to them.

Please inform if anything is not clear.

Hi,

Agree with the above suggestion, the additional calendar are for personal use. And  Ive tested it on my lab and it has the same result with you.

Except sharing the calendar and creating a new room mailbox, we can create a new Public Folder Calendar and make others can access it.
