Forcing Sharing of Calendars??

M

Matt

Does anyone know if it is possible to force the sharing of calendars?

I would like all our users to share calendars but it is difficult to get
them to do it. So I would like to force it to happen, so I know that they
are all done. Does anyone know if this is possible??

Many Thanks

Matt

Why would you want to do that? Were I an employee, I'd be balking at that
as well. I wouldn't want my mailbox shared. Why not use a public calendar
if you want many people to see calendar data?

We want to share all our calendars so that we can look at each others
appointments and meetings. So that we can tell when each other is busy etc.

I don't want to share the mailbox, just the calendars but I don't want to
have to create a public calendar for each of the users

Thanks

You have to share the mailboxes in order to share the calendars, since the
calendars are stored in the mailboxes.

I never suggested creating a public calendar for each person. One calendar
for everyone is what I had in mind. We do that where I work and it's very
handy.

Sharing at the folder level is sufficient. It is not necessary to share the whole mailbox. Tools are at http://www.slipstick.com/exs/permissions.htm#tools. I highly recommend PFDAVAdmin.
