MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / November 2005Upgrading to Exchange shared calendar
I have a client (small construction company) that I just upgraded from no server to SBS 2003, and they want to share their heretofor personal calendars. I can import the individual calendars from the respective PST files into Exchange and share them, but when the start up their Outlooks and go to the calendar they still only see the default personal calendar, meaning they have to select the shared calendar. They still receive their email directly into the PST files, and only actually use Exchange for the calendaring. Is there any way to remove (or reclassify as non-default) the personal calendar? As I was writing this, I came up with an idea... to accomplish this should I have them just direct incoming email to go to the mailbox on the Exchange server? That would have the secondary benefit of being backed up every night... and if I did that would I be able to delete the PST files altogether? Thanks for your help. Ernie Lowell You're spot on! In the account settings you can change the default delivery location.  SignatureRobert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] www.howto-outlook.com Tips of the month: -FREE tool; QuickMail.

Once that is done, then the only calendar (and only mailbox) that will show up is what is on the Exchange server.

While this is true, the calendar that shows up is a personal, not shared calendar. To access a shared calendar, the user must click on the public folder calendar that you have created on the server, not the calendar in their Personal Folders.
