MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / May 2007Public folder calendars not working properly
Hi All, I'm and Exchange 2003 Admin and we've just recently upgraded from Exchange 5.5. We have shared a number of meeting room calendars using public folders so that people can access them more easily. The problem I have is that when a user views a tentative appointment in one of these public folder calendars it automatically creates a copy of the appointment in the users local Outlook calendar. All public frolders have been migrated over to Exchange 2003 and I am almost ready to start switching off my Exchange 5.5 boxes. Any help on this would be great Many Thanks Alkesh Chandegra This is a known issue, resolved by upgrading to Outlook 2007 or by using a mailbox for each resource calendar rather than a public folder.

Is there not a patch available for this as it is a known issue? Going back to mailboxes means that my users will not be able to view the meeting rooms nicely grouped as public folders and will mean more of a management overhead, so if I can avoid this then that would be good. > This is a known issue, resolved by upgrading to Outlook 2007 or by using a mailbox for each resource calendar rather than a public folder. > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > > > Alkesh Chandegra The resolutions I suggested are the only ones I know of. Given that public folders are not intended for use as resource calendars, I would not expect a fix to solve this problem. Users can use the Group Schedule feature to view meeting rooms grouped together.
