In SharePoint 2007, each zone supports one method of authentication. &nbsp;You can extend the web application to add another zone to add another form authentication (like forms based authentication on SQL).<br />

In order for people to be added in any fashion to SharePoint, they have to be in one of the authentication providers (i.e. AD). &nbsp;If you setup an extended web application to add another authentication zone with forms based authentication, your meeting attendees could come from both providers.

OK, I'll need some clarification and a couple of definitions.<br />
<br />
I'm not familiar with zones in SharePoint. &nbsp;I also don't know what authentication providers are in AD. &nbsp;Can you explain what these are and how to do what you've proposed?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

I am trying to add attendees in a SharePoint 2007 site. &nbsp;When I click on Manage attendees I get a dialog to add employees, but not non-employees. &nbsp;I've added several people who have domain accounts with no problem. &nbsp;The remaining people I need to add are in the AD only as contacts; they don't have domain accounts.<br />

How can I add non-account people to the attendees list?<br />
