Personal Calendar as Email[-][--][++]

A user of OWA (outlook web access) cannot create an event on a public shared calendar and invite attendees, the invite \
button is grayed out. This is by Microsoft design (google it).

In order to allow an OWA user to create a calendar event with his calendar, other users calendar, and a public calendar, \
the public calendar must be assigned an email address and the OWA user must create the event from his own personal \
calendar, then click invite, then search for the public calendar as an attendee. When he saves the event, it will \
be saved on his personal calendar, the public calendar, and any other user attendees he has selected.

For dynatron, I setup a 'Conference Calender' and a 'Impl & Trng Calendar' public calendars. Note, to get email \
working as a resource for these calendars you do NOT have to create an Active Directory user and an exchange mailbox. \
These public calendar emails will not even use an exchange mailbox, just the address. So no AD editing needed. \

Just open the exchange System Manager on your exchange server. Expand 'Administrative Groups'->'first administrative group'-> \
'Folders'->'Public Folders'. Properties on your public calendar folder name. E-mail Address tab. Add theemail@domain.com \
SMTP. Goto Exchange Advanced tab, uncheck the 'Hide from Exchange address lists' box (this way it shows up in your \
outlooks Global Address List). And thats it.

If you wanted a calendar as a true resource, to deny duplicate bookings etc... you cannot do it with a public \
calendar. In order to do this, the calendar has to be owned by a regular AD user with a regular exchange mailbox. \
See http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/skedresource.asp So you would setup an AD user, then login to outlook as that \
user, goto Tools->Options->Preferences Tab->Calendar Options->Resource Scheduling and check the first 2 or whatever \
checkboxes. Then delegate users to manage this calendar and allow others to view/edit etc...

Doing this user calendar instead of a public calendar will also allow others booking an event to see the calendars \
free/busy information (cannot see free/busy info of a public calendar http://support.microsoft.com/kb/260724)

Create a public folder[-][--][++]

calendar/mail/contact...
Just open outlook as admin, or one who has admin access, and right click public folder, create, then select the correct \
'Folder Contains'. Then if you want it as a resource like above, goto exchange System Manager and goto properties on \
the new public folder item...
