Creating a Shared Calendar.

Creating a Shared Calendar.

If I am correct, you can create a Calendar in your Outlook and share it with other People. in this case I wonder when you are not in the company , whether other people will be able to use the calendar, assuming they have also Owner permissions on the Calendar.

I believe even if the Calendar is created on Outlook it should exist in Exchange server, and other people should be able to access it as long as they have permissions.


I  know that you can also create a non-user mailbox and use it as shared mailbox if you want to , and create a calendar in the non-user mailbox and share it.

So what it is the pros and cons of one approach versus another

Thank you

if a user who has shared the calendar leave the company, then other users cannot access the shared calendar ?
probably you are correct if the shared calendar even though it is in Exchange server but it got to be tied to the mailbox of the user who left the company.
The user who left the company will have his AD account disabled, probably noone can access his mailbox, unless if they re-enable the AD account.

Amit,

Public Folder Calendar, I remember it was the old way in Exchange 2000,2003..is it still the common way ?
I have heard that Public folders are going away

once the user will leave the company, other users will only be able to access the calendar till the time the mailbox is not disabled/Deleted, AD account does not control access, its the ACL on the object so AD account can be disabled.

so that's why it is best you that you use the Shared Mailbox and avoid using a shared calendar within the user mailbox.
