Share Private Exchange Calendar with Entire Organization

Outlook 2010, Exchange 2007.
Scenario:
We have a few users who need to share their Exchange calendar with everyone in the organization. Right now, their private calendar is synced to a public folder calender using a third party tool Add2Exchange. This way, everyone can easily browse the Pubic
Folder tree in Outlook and find a (almost live) copy of these calendars.
Problem:
The sync software sometimes fails, and this causes conflicts in scheduling as the private and public calendars are out of sync.
Idea For Solution:
We want to delegate direct access to these private calendars, and give everyone Read-Only access to them, so there would be no need for a sync.
Problem With This Idea:
Users can no longer simply browse their Outlook sidebar and find calendars this way. They must go through the process of "Open User's Folder", Chose calendar, chose the user, attach the calendar. This would have to be done for everyone in the unit,
and for multiple calendars.
Is there a way I can automate this? I just want to delegate the calendars, and then have them automatically show up in everyone's calendar list next time they open Outlook. Is this something that can be scripted and deployed through AD? I can't seem to find
anything online to address this.
Are there other ideas I should consider?

Hi,
As what ED Crowley says, there is no solution in AD or Exchange server to automatically map shared calendar to users’ Outlook client.
We can create a public folder “Share Calendars” for sharing a user’s calendar to all users. Then add Publishing Editor permissions for UserA, UserB to publish their Calendar to Share Calendars. And UsersA and UserB need to manually update the Calendar of
Public Folders in their Outlook client. For more information about
How to Add Permissions for Client Users to Access Public Folder Content in Exchange 2007, please refer to:

    Hey newly Iphone,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I found a couple of articles that should be able to assist you.
    If you're wanting to share a calendar account with people who use the same calendar service, check out the following article:

  • Share my Outlook calendar with icloud?

    I use Outlook with the company's exchange server and want to publish the exchange calendar with icloud so that I can then share the icloud calendar with someone else. The company blocks directly sharing the exchange calendar so I'm looking to publish it/sink it with icloud calendar. 

    Hello ramirofromstrockholm,
    The steps detailed below explain how to go about publicly share a calendar (which doesn't require that one be an iCloud user to accept).
    Click the Share button to the right of the calendar you want to share, then select Public Calendar.
    Note:   You can also share the same calendar privately. For instructions, see the previous task, “Share a calendar privately.”
    To invite people to view the calendar, click Email Link.
    Type one or more email addresses in the To field, then click Send.
    The people you specify automatically receive an invitation email that includes the calendar’s URL. An invitee doesn’t need to be an iCloud user to accept an invitation to view a shared public calendar.
    In the sidebar, a shared calendar has a dark Share button.
    You can also resend invitations to one or more invited participants at any time.

  • Can i share my iCloud calendar with others? If so, how?

    Can i share my iCloud calendar with others? If so, how?

    do you mean, the 'Publish' option? That only gives me two options 1 mobile me, which is now defunct. and 2 a private server, which I don't understand. thanks!
    sorry, after a further read, the comment was about icloud not ical. I don't have icloud because I don't have Lion because it doesn't work well with FCP7. So I don't know how to share my ical. Can you help?

  • I tried to share my iPhone calendar with my husband using iCloud. Now he has both our events on his phone but my phone only has just my events, not his.

    I tried to share my iPhone calendar with my husband using iCloud. Now he has both our events on his phone but my phone only has just my events, not his.

        D13, thanks for these details. This an awesome clue. Are you able to connect to this Wi-Fi connection with other devices? Let's try a few steps to resolve this issue.
    First, reset the network in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network and power your device off/on.
    Secondly, delete the Wi-Fi connection in Settings>Select your Wi-Fi>Forget this Network and the try to connect to that Wi-Fi again.
    Lastly, try creating your Wi-Fi connection. Tap Settings>Enable Wi-Fi ON. From Choose a Network, select Other. Enter the Wi-Fi network name. Select Security. Select the Wi-Fi network type then select Other Network. Enter the Wi-Fi network password then select Join
    Keep us posted.

  • Can I share an icloud calendar with a person who has no apple id?

    As soon as I switched to iCloud my shared mobile me calendar no longer updated.  It appears that to now share, all parties must be an iCloud subscriber.  The person with whom I share this calendar is not an Apple user and has no interest in acquiring an iCloud account.    She does, however, need to view my calendar.  Are there steps I am missing to allow her to view the calendar in either outlook, or using a web based format as was available before the change?
    Thanks!

    You can't do this: when you migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud the calendars will be transferred there and no longer available on MobileMe.
    You can share calendars privately or publicly from iCloud: private calendars can only be viewed by nominated iCloud members; public calendars can be viewed by anybody in a CalDAV client such as iCal or Google Calendar (though they are non-editable).

  • Can't share my iCloud calendars with 30 boxes

    Was using 30 boxes to post my iCloud calendars to my website (as a former Apple employee, I get that certain features have to be worked out; but really not being able to host calendars on a webpage or share with google for years is just plain sad...especially when it's for such petty reasons) for quite some time with no problems. After I updated to Yosemite, I re-organized my calendars and realized they were no longer updating to my 30boxes calendar. I tried to re-sync them, but now 30boxes won't recognize any of the webcal links. As I use this calendar on my business' website it's caused major confusion with my staff and I'm trying to desperately get my calendar back up without having to switch entirely to google calendar.
    I'd love to be able to ask 30boxes about this, but they have no support forum and it seems likely that this is one in a long line of iCloud compatibility issues. I heard about 30boxes on this forum (sadly it was the closest thing to a fix anyone here has been able to point to for a lot of Apple's calendar problems) so I'm hoping others here have a work around, or maybe another 3rd party site I can use? I really don't care how, I just want to share my calendars with the my non-macintosh employees easily.

  • Ability to share contacts and calendar with my associate?

    Is there any other way to allow access to my calendar (for scheduling appointments) and my contacts (to add/modify clients) other than sharing my user id and pw?  thanks.

    You can share iCloud calendars with people who also have iCloud accounts. They are able to access your shared calendars using Calendar (on a Mac with OS X Mountain Lion, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch), iCloud Calendar at www.icloud.com, iCal (on a Mac with OS X Lion 10.7.2 or later), and Microsoft Outlook.
    Private shared calendars can be viewed only by iCloud users you invite. You can give the users read-only or read-and-write privileges.
    Public shared calendars are read-only. People can subscribe to the calendar using its web address.
    To share an iCloud calendar, see this help topic:

  • How do I share my server calendar with external users on google calendar?

    I need to share some server based calendars with google calendar.  I know how to export but how do I keep the connection live so that when I put a new event into iCal on the server it automatically updates to google calendar?  I was looking for a way to publish my server calendar to a hosting server but I can not even work out how to do that.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Presuming you moved the entire iTunes folder to the shared folder the other users need to start their iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and select the iTunes Library.itl file in the shared folder.  Only once should be necessary.  Note that any changes anybody makes will be seen by everybody, so you have to trust each other a lot.
    If all you moved are media files each user will have to add those files to their iTunes library.

  • Can you share an icloud calendar with someone using gmail?

    I manage all my calendars on icloud and want to share one of them with my partner, who uses gmail and android phone. The events do not show up on his phone. This is because its not possible to do this or because we are doing something wrong?

    You can only share a read/write calendar with another iCloud member. You can share a read-only calendar with a non-member: the recipient can subscribe to it in iCal. Just get them to open an iCloud account if they have Lion on their Mac.
