MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / March 2006Is there a way to publish busy/free schedule in a Public Folder?
We use Public Folder Calendars quite a bit to schedule resources such as meeting rooms. A lot of us use the meeting request and "invite" the meeting room in order to book it for the meeting. It would be really nice if we could see the busy/free schedule in the meeting request. We don't want to create a user for the room just so we can do that. Anyone come up with any other solution? While we are at it, I wish Microsoft would add other features to Public Folder Calendars that are available in a user's calendar, such as holidays. Is there a wish list somewhere so I can post this and hope future releases will include it? Thanks. --Sandy you can copy holidays to PF - but don't count on improvements to PF as Microsoft is moving them from a future version of Exchange server. > We use Public Folder Calendars quite a bit to schedule resources such as > meeting rooms.

We are already moving some things from Public Folders to our intranet so looks like we need to be looking into another solution for resource scheduling as well. Does Microsoft have a preferred solution for doing resource scheduling that anyone here is familiar with? Hate to buy 3rd party solutions if we already have the tools. > you can copy holidays to PF - but don't count on improvements to PF as > Microsoft is moving them from a future version of Exchange server.

Is there a way to use something like the Add Holidays feature in the Calendar Options dialog that adds holidays to your personal calendar, but have them instead added to a PF calendar? Thanks for any help. ==John Cuthbertson > you can copy holidays to PF - but don't count on improvements to PF as > Microsoft is moving them from a future version of Exchange server.
