Here is my problem if anyone has had a similar issue and found a way to deal
with it I'd appreciate your input.

We are a small company, so most of us do a wide variety of tasks. We have 4
support people that must man the phones each day and we usually need 2 people
at the phones at all times. The problem I have is in scheduling meetings for
these people. I need the non-support people to be able to identify the
days/times that all of the support people are already scheduled for other
meetings. I need some way for the organizer of the meeting to know that they
can not schedule a support person because 2 other support persons are already
scheduled, and scheduling the 3rd person will leave us with only 1 person
covering the phones.

Anyone have any ideas or have run into this before?

If you use Exchange server you could make a group schedule showing the four
people.

Or use this exchange add-on (www.ExchangeGroupCalendar.com) to collate the
personal schedules in one or more public calendar folders. When you make a
habit out of it to use categories or keywords, rules can be used to show or
hide the booked time in a certain group folder.
