Hi there.
Yes, you can create a shared calendar. I just set this up as a matter of fact.
The simplest way is:
1) In the Public Folders folder in Exchange, right click and choose "New Folder"
2) Provide a name for the foder (i.e. Company Calendar)
3) Choose "Calendar Items" from the "Folder Contains:" drop down box.
4) Click OK and your calendar is setup.
The last step is to go to each client's computer and add a shortcut from Outlook to the shared calendar. (i.e. Public Folders > Company Calendar).
You'll be up and running and sharing your calendar in no time.
Good luck!

Yes it does. You have a small version of Exchange which allows you to have public folders. These are folders where multiple users can add items to (or send mail to). You can also have permissions to takle over the mailbox of that other user..
