Exchange 2003 and trying to share a "company calendar".
We are trying to create a company calendar on Exchange 2003 so that all users can add/view appointments for all employees. We have a calendar in the shared folders on the server however if I try to add them to anyone's Outlook 2003, we get the following error: Unable to display the folder. The server mailbox cannot be opened becausde this address book entry is not a mail user. I then go to the server and try to enable mail on this folder and I get the message telling me mail is already enabled.
I would think that creating and sharing a calendar would be that hard but we are having a hard time with it. I am willing to start from the beginning by creating a new calendar and sharing that one. Thank you for your help.

Your description sounds better...yes, I'm trying to create a calendar in Public Folders which can be accessed by all users however I am having difficulty with this. Thank you.
You can create a New public folder from Outlook itself and select the option "Folder Contains: Calender Items". Then add authenticated users or the user of your choice to give permissions on this calender.
If you want a calender to be added to all the users outlook calender, then create a resource mailbox.
With this users can compare those 2 calenders.

Yes I did and it worked for all except two users; they have the same configuration but cannot view the shared calendars.
Thank you for your help....you saved me a lot of time!

I've been creating shared resources for a long time and they work great. We were just hoping to be able to place a "calendar" in the public folder area, then share it and allow users to view it as a shared resource through Outlook, I really didn't want another shared resource calendar. If you have any further information it would be greatly appreciated.
You can create a calender in Public folder which can be accessed by all the users in your organization.
