[WinMac] Outlook Exchange Mac Client seeing Calendars
Larry Larraga(larry[at]udel.edu)
Here's what my testing shows: Exchange Server 5.5SP2 Outlook 98 or 2000 on NT or Win98 Outlook for Power Mac Client Exchange Server Edition 8.1 (SP2) A calendar created on a PC by one user can be viewed by another user (give appropriate permissions) in Calendar format on the Mac client (using the Calendar icon in the Outlook Bar of the Mac client). That calendar *cannot* be viewed by the user that created/owns it on the PC platform from the Mac client (the calendar is empty). The calendar entries can be viewed, though in a "mailbox" format with much information missing, by clicking the Calendar icon in the folder list in the Inbox view. So, I'm larry in the Exchange Server. I create and maintain a calendar on my PC using Outlook 2000. I give joe Permissions (under Properties on the Calendar) to edit or peruse my Calendar. Joe can open the Mac client, open the Calendar from the icon on the Outlook Bar, then choose "open other's appointment book" from the File menu, choose larry from the user list and see my Calendar in Calendar format. If I (larry) go to my Mac, opening the Calendar from the icon on the Outlook Bar yields a blank calendar (or it will show only what was input from the Mac client). I can see a whole list of calendar items from the PC by clicking the Calendar icon in my Mailbox list of folders, but the information there is in next to useless form. So, the cross-platform calendar integration seems to work. You just can't be a user that wants to get at your Calendar from your PC *and* Mac. Comments?
