OK.

I will contact them.

So how do I move those PST's to Exchange?

Change the delivery location to the Exchange mailbox, restart Outlook.
Select & copy over whatever you like. (for calendar, you might want to
switch to a table layout view)
When done, close the PST file to remove it from the profile, so there won't
be any further confusion.

We get about 1.5 Meg down 256 up. More or less. Probably less than
more. Cable modem.

That would probably work. You could always look into 'mailbagging' -
ETRN, so forth.... what you're doing now is probably even less
efficient when it comes to bandwidth, as all your clients are
individually downloading/uploading mail. SBS comes with a POP
connector, even - I'm not a fan of those, but it would be better
than your current setup.

OH...so we can't use our PST's even if it is just sharing calendars,
right?

Right, and you really shouldn't use them at all.

I am trying to share calendars, at the very least, in the
enterprise. I got SBS for that reason. But we have to use an
outside ISP in the mean time.

You don't have to!

So...I knew Outlook Express had profiles, but not Outlook 2003. Can
we use one PST for the outside mail, etc., then another profile for
shared calendars?

Do not use PST files. Just use the Exchange mailbox. Even if you
want to use Internet mail in Outlook, which I think is a very bad
idea, you don't need to use PST files. See
http://www.exchangefaq.org/faq/Exchange-5.5/Why-PST-=-BAD-/q/Why-PST-=-BAD/qid/1209



Anyway, simply wanting to share calendars now - while using Outside
provider for email.

Possible?

Yes, but icky. As I said, this is not efficient. The real problem
you're having is that you're using PST files.

I suggest you post SBS questions in
microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs - you'll get a lot of help in
there.

My organization has Windows 2003 SBS Premium. We use an outside
hosting company for our email and do not plan on hosting
internally.

I think that's a huge mistake, honestly. What's the justification
for that?

Cost. I can't justify a faster circuit, etc. We are a
government agency. Actually there is no funding for it.

What kind of Internet speed are you getting now? I've got several
small offices using pokey DSL or cable modems. Still no need for
POP. Plus, when they email each other, it's all local - no Internet
traffic used at all. Hell, not long ago, I was doing support for
companies using ISDN, and even dialup.


I know Exchange is installed, but that is it. Nothing
configured. How do I set it up so we can share Outlook 2003
calendars and maybe other things?

Thanks!

Trying to use Exchange and Internet mail in the same mail profile
invariably leads to problems with message routing. That said, all
you need to do with sharing is right-click on the folder in
question, choose sharing, and add the users/permissions you wish.
Then the other user uses file | open | other user's folder, picks
the folder, and it opens. After they've done that once, OL2003
should remember it, so if they click on the calendar button in
the navigation bar, it will offer them the choice of their own
calendar (for example) and the other calendars they've recently
opened.


Ok. Sharing is greyed out on all my local folders. How
do I share Calendars? Don't I have to do something with
Exchange?

No, but you must use the Exchange mailbox and not a PST file for
delivery in the mail profile. I would avoid using PST files at all,
if it were me.

I understand the problem of profiles, but can I setup a
different account for the person...like a local one?

I think you're confusing Windows and mail profiles. I'm talking
about Outlook profiles. What exactly is it you are trying to do?
