How to view shared Outlook Calendars in Entourage

Hi, I am using Entourage now with Office 2008 on a Mac G4 PowerBook running OSX.

I am trying to "Open other users folder" for viewing Calendars, but when I try to open another user, an error comes up telling me that it cannot find the user in the global address list.

I am using OWA - and I tried http://servername/exchange/username/calendar, as suggested in other posts, but it is still not working.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

This is something I have been trying to find a solution for for an absolute age; I have tried all the so called solutions on multiple pages but everytime getitng error messages until I stumbled across this solution posted by a blogger.

Find the person using the address book, then highlight them, click Advanced, then in that window type in the full URL to their OWA root
(ie: https://mail.whatever.com/exchange/email.address@sitename.com)

You're good to go.

Has to do with email alias not matching the login name... something that should be very easy for the client to cope with.

The KB is a little misleading. What it boils down to is this:
1) In Entourage, go to File "Open Other User's Folder".
2) Click the "Contact" icon on the right.
3) Click Advanced.
4) Fill in the name box with a descriptor (this is the text that will appear in Entourage next to the connection - purely descriptive)
5) E-mail Address box (this is the key) it must be one of the Fully Qualified Exchange SMTP aliases for that user (like joe@joescoffee.com).
6) Click OK and you should be all set.
