MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / March 2008Calendar and working time
Outlook 2003/Exchange Server Most of my team is located in different time zones. When scheduling meetings, I can see free/busy time for all attendees, adjusted to my time zone; however, there is no indication of working hours. Yes, I now I can limit my display to show my working hours. How can I see the actual scheduled working hours of everyone else, so to schedule a meeting when everyone is actually at work. The way it is now, after hours time appears to be free time, and I have no idea where these folks live. I've resorted to blocking on my calendar, all non-working time with dummy appointments ( 5PM to midnight, midnight to 8AM ). This, although will work, seems foolish to have to do. Alternatives? Rick outlook only shows your working hours, not the working time for others.

I come from a Lotus Notes shop where the abilitye to see normally scheduled working hours of invitees was an invaluable feature. Isn't this a big hole in the invite scheduling process? How, in a large enterprise environment, spanning continents, can a scheduler not take into account that what shows as free time is not really free time - but normally scheduled non-working time for the people invited?

Ie, it's difficult for someone in the PT zone to schedule appointments during standard business hours with someone in the UK since their business hours don't overlap - either the person on the west coast has to come in early or the person in the UK has to stay late.
