Calendars - Entourage & Exchange Server 2003

L

Lee C.

My oiffce just bought a new server with small business server 2003
installed. We network a couple of PC's and my Mac. I configured
Entourage 10.4 to work with the server and my email works fine.
However, when someone schedules something on my calendar it shows up
as an email, not as an entry on my calendar. Also, I can't schedule
stuff on other people's calendars with Entourage. So what's the deal
- I thought that Entourage was supposed to offer calendar
synchronization?

Well, WebDAV is on and IMAP is working fine. I can access my calendar
through Explorer by way of webdav, but I want to access it through
Entourage!

Please help! The PC administrator will try anything to make this
work, if possible, IS IT?

1) How do I configure the server and/or my mac to allow for at least
the posting on my calendar of calendar events that my secretary posts?

2) If this feature, just won't work is it going to added to the next
update of Entourage (please MacBU people, I have seen your posts,
please answer this question)?

I would really appreciate informed responses.

It needs the free/busy server to be configured correctly. What you see
usually means it isn't.

Well, WebDAV is on and IMAP is working fine. I can access my calendar

Entourage!


Entourage gets calendar and address book through OWA (webmail services)

If your webmail server address looks like that:
http://www.webmail.com/exchange
then you need to edit the setting for this account in Entourage and add
as the free/busy server www.webmail.com/public (enable SSL if you need
to access webmail through an https address).
