jgrienke - 27 Feb 2006 20:54 GMT How do I share sub calendars? I try to do share the sub calendars individually and all they are able to see is my main calendar.
Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook] - 27 Feb 2006 21:17 GMT The process of adding another user's Contacts folder to your own address book display is somewhat involved. You will need to be able to create -- at least temporarily -- an Outlook profile that opens another user's mailbox as the primary mailbox. Proceed with these steps while logged in under your own Windows account, not the other user's:
1. Create an Outlook profile that connects directly to the other user's mailbox, not your own, and start Outlook with that profile.
2. On the Properties dialog for the other user's Contacts folder, make sure that it's set to display in the Outlook Address Book and give it a display name other than contacts, such as Joe's Contacts.
3. Close Outlook.
4. In Control Panel | Mail, edit the *same profile* (i.e. the one from Step 1) to change the mailbox from the other user's to your own.
5. Still working with the same profile, on the Advanced tab of the Exchange Server service, add the other user's mailbox as a secondary mailbox.
6. Restart Outlook, and you should see the Joe's Contacts in your Outlook Address Book as well as your own Contacts folder.

Sherry Phillips - 27 Apr 2006 20:56 GMT I have never been able to get this to work. Is there some setting on the Exchange Server that has to be set in order to allow granting of access to a sub-folder? I get the following message when I try: The delegate settings were not saved correctly. Unable to active send-on-behalf of list. you do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object.
Thanks, Sherry

Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook] - 28 Apr 2006 07:30 GMT Are you working with the Properties dialog for the subfolder? That's where you should be setting its permissions.

I've tried working with the properties, and to Delegate -- nothing seems to work. I have assured that I have given the individuals I want to see the calendar permission, but they still cannot see the sub-calendar, they can see my main calendar, but nothing that falls below that calendar. I have a calendar set-up for reserving our Training Lab and want everyone in our department to be able to see, modify, ect. this calendar. When I try to delegate by going to Tools, Options, Delegate -- I get the following error message:
The delegate settings ere not saved correctly. Unable to activate send-on-behalf of list. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object.
Since I get the message regarding sufficient permission, I wondered if it had something to do with permissions on the Exchange Server.

Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook] - 29 Apr 2006 14:59 GMT Nothing in Tools | Options | Delegates will assist you with sharing subfolders.
Did you also grant Folder Visible permission for the main Calendar folder and the root of your mailbox? Has the other user added your mailbox to their Exchange account settings?

I've been out of the office in training. Yes, I gave permission to the main caldndar folder and the root of the mailbox. The other person has also added me to their mailbox. Any other ideas? Someone informed me that it could be a problem when we converted from NT to Exchange - something about the permissions for SELF - however, I have been unable to find anything on SELF - have you heard of this?
Here's the lead from the smallbizserver.net web site.
I ran into this problem today. I found that it was related to my accounts that were migrated from our NT4 domain. SELF does not have appropriate rights to the Active Directory user object to modify the send-on-behalf-of list. I manually set the SELF rights to the same as a newly created user object and I no longer get the error.
Our network administrator has also been unable to find out how to manually set the SELF rights and very leary of making changes without clear instructions.
Thanks for any help.

Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook] - 09 May 2006 22:04 GMT You might be thinking of the article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813929/, but that refers to delegates, not folder permissions.
You didn't say what the other user is actually seeing in their folder list.

The other person doesn't see anything, only their folders.

Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook] - 10 May 2006 23:09 GMT So they are seeing something, but only folders, no items in the folders? What folders do they see?
