Hi!
On our network some users connect to and use the Exchange server folders
(Inbox, Calendar...) and some uses a .pst-file and all new mail arrives to
the Inbox in Personal Folders locally.
If they use a .pst-file and set up a meeting in the calendar, it?s not
displayed in the server calendar.
Now we have a third-party application that scans the server calendars for
entrees and if they are in the local .pst the application doesn?t find them.

How can I sync the server calendar with the local .pst-file calendar so
there?s the same information in both??
The sync must go in both directions. I want to copy new entrees in the
server calendar to the .pst calender and also new entrees in the .pst
calendar copied to the server calendar.
Automatically??

Regards
Conny N

Your best course of action is to move all the data from the .pst files into
the mailbox and get rid of the .pst files.

Conny, I am trying to do the same exact thing. However I
only want the .pst items synched to the exchange
calendar. I have had no luck finding a pre-made app or
script to do this, so I am embarking on a journey to do
this myself. So far it looks like the only way to do
this is to use the Outlook Object Model get a list of all
calendar items since you last ran the script/program,
then create those items up on the server's calendar for
that user. I just hope both of these MAPIFolder calendar
items are available for access equally under the same
Namespace - outlook has thrown so many curve balls at me
as of late, it wouldn't surprise me if this was not
possible. I will post this as soon as I have something
workable.
