Hello.

I'm wanting to setup Outlook calendars so that they can be shared amongst the office. I have a SBS, so from what I'm reading, I can use the version of Exchange that's packeged with SBS to do it.. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm not finding much material on how to.. Only information on how to do it, if you don't have Exchange (Paid products).

Thanks
 
do you have exchange running with SBS and are your users using exchange (its unclear from your post)
 
I do not have exchange setup yet, but would for this. However, our email is not hosted in-house. It's on an external IMAP server.

Can we still use outsourced email, and only use Exchange for sharing of calendar's?

Thanks

 
You can have several different accounts in you Exchange Profile, one for Exchange, one for POP3 accounts, etc. So I guess you could get it to work. However, if you are going to implement Exchange, I would consider making it your mail server.

You can set up calendars as public folders if you want them shared.
 
i would like to add that it is better to have your emailed filtered off site, singlefin.net can do this, or your current email host may also offer something similar.

and only accept incomming messages from that server. security's a bitch and its an easy way to get a grip on spammers and email viri
 
If I'm understanding Exchange correctly.. I'll have it only accept from internal connections on the domain, for calendar sharing. That's all it will be used for.

Then I'll write a small script to have it upload the ics files to an external server (Where email/website is hosted) for viewing purposes only.

Thanks for everyones suggestions.. I'm now hunting for some documentation on setting up Exchange for calendar sharing...

Thanks
