Default Is Exchange intervention required to create a group calendar?


So my project team wants a group calendar. This should be a no brainer.
Exchange/OL2003.

It seems that I can share *my* calendar, but when I create a *new* calendar
folder in OL, there is a sharing/permissions tab on the properties dialog,
and I granted everyone access, but no one can seem to get to it from their OL
clients. They can only see my default calendar (named "Calendar" under the
"My Calendars" group), not the shared one (named, "Team Calendar").

Does this have to be done on the Exchange server by the person(s) who manage
our Exchange server? Because that's like moving mountains.

Thanks!

To access a shared folder that isn't one of the folders listed on the File | Open | Other User's Folder dialog, the mailbox owner needs to grant "folder visible" permission to the root of the mailbox and any other parent folders of the shared folder, as well as appropriate permission -- at least Reviewer -- on the shared folder itself.

The user who needs access then goes into Tools | E-mail Accounts or Tools | Services (depending on the Outlook version), brings up the properties for the Exchange Server service, and on the Advanced tab, adds the mailbox.

For more information on folder permissions, with how-to screen shots, see http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/permissions.htm and http://office.microsoft.com/assistan...HA011134811033
