Hi, I have 12 calendars that I keep up to date (not counting my own!)
Can you tell me an easier way of putting the same meeting on all the
calendars?
I know how to right click and drag, but that's time consuming to do over and
over again.
I don't want to send it with everyone scheduled because that looks like I'm
running the meeting (or my boss is) and these are meetings that others are
running.
Is there an easier way to put it onto everyone's calendar at once? Or am I
stuck with right click,drag,right click, drag, lol.

I don't think you mean Meeting but Appointment item. A meeting is one
item with several attendees.
My company has a product for this. It's called the GridView tool, but
to use that you must be running our 'Exchange GroupCalendar' server
add-on.
You can simply select the people and click the "New Appointment" button
and all will get the same appointment.

I think I mean Meeting.
Someone sends me an announcement about a meeting they're holding, and they
want "x" people to come to it.
I want to add the meeting to all these people's calendars.
I suppose that could be called an "appointment". . .
:)

You shouldn't have to do that.  Have the original sender create a meeting
request and include the intended attendees and Outlook will put it on their
calendars automatically.

Well ok.. so you could adjust the calendars of those 12 to autoaccept
meetingrequests
You simply make a new meeting in your calendar, invite the 12
(distribution list) and send it

The only "issue" is that you are the organizer. But you could type in
the subject "hey it's not me, the party is held at jack's"

Good luck

Sure.  Create one Public Folder calendar and update that one only.  Tell
everyone else to update it if they want their appointments seen by others.

Ahh if it were only that easy :) I work in a Hospital for two of the
directors and between the two they have 10 managers. If I don't keep their
calendars updated, they turn into bumper cars ... no one knows where they're
going or why, lol.
I'm the traffic cop. :D
