Just a caution on "private" items from the Outlook CHM;

Important You should not rely on the Private feature to prevent all
access by other people to the details of an appointment, contact, or
task. To make sure that other people cannot read the item that you
marked as private, do not grant them Read permission to your
Calendar, Contacts, or Tasks folder. A person who is granted Read
permission to access your folders could use programmatic methods or
other e-mail applications to view details in a private item. Use the
Private feature only when you share folders with people you trust.

Sure. And if it's your company's mail server, don't put in task details
about mysterious red rashes or contacts for known local procuresses.

Most importantly, what is the reason for this access. Without
knowing the reason, it is hard to determine the best solution. A
patient can say "give me medicine XYZ", but self-diagnosis is not
always the best method.

Personally, I don't need everyone in my office to know my
mother-in-law's birthday, or when my dog needs her shots. Or when I
have to get my teeth cleaned, or see the proctologist.

Find the reason for the calendar access. If it is to forecast
availability for court, or staff coverage for different functions,
you may be better off using the sharepoint calendar or a shared
calendar via Outlook (easier for me). Double-posts may be
required, but privacy is maintained.

With a shared calendar maintained via Outlook, the calendar owner
can assign permissions. Not up to each user to configure the
settings whenever staff/users are added or lost.

Good point - but it's also important for the users to remember that
the company mail server is exactly that - the company mail server,
and the boss likely has the right to say "I want to see XY and Z" -
and even say whether or not users are permitted to put non-business
items in their mailbox calendars. The mailbox calendar is just so
much more convenient to use than a PF calendar or Sharepoint,
honestly - via Outlook, OWA, or sync to any sort of handheld.

Remember, also, that items marked "private" will not be visible to
others. So, your recurring Gamblers Anonymous meeting appointments
can just look like mysterious gray boxes to your co-workers.

Hi I have a client, a firm of solicitors with a sbs 2003 server
with outlook 2000 clients about 50 in 3 different offices the
partner wants all users to view each others calandars this will
require changing the mail box permissions and calandar permissions
on each users mail box to allow everone read access and then each
mailbox will need to be added to the folder list via advanced
exchange server properties in outlook. does anyone know of a way
to do this without actually going to each users pc and doing it,
there must be a way to add the permissions to each users mailbox
remotely as the administrator in exchange system manager and a way
of remotely updating the outlook folder tree. can anyone help or
point me in the right direction?
