How can I change a person's Mailbox calendar to a public calendar?

Hello,

I've created a company-wide calendar within the structure \\Public
Folders\All Public Folders and called it CompanyCalendar". However I want
to change some persons mailbox's calendar to point to the public folder one
instead.

If you go to the properties of the mailbox's calendar, there is a LOCATION
property of "\\Mailbox - My Name". There must be a way to change this
LOCATION property.

If you have any ideas or have seen a solution, could you please let me know
what it is

Thanks
 
You can't. The mailbox calendar is always the Calendar folder in the mailbox.

Thanks for the response but are you saying "you can't do it out of the box".
Because I just came across Add2Exchange products which in their description
seems good, just that I haven't looked at their solution yet.

So I thought smply, there must be a way .... changing some sort of Exchange
mailbox template would work but that could just be Domino, which is feature
rich.

Have your attempted to build a solution for this type of configuration and
gotten nowhere?

On the flip-side (you may be right), with so many 3rd party products trying
to provide a similar solution to my problem, the clean solution might not
exist.
 
I'm saying it can't be done, period, AFAIK. The default Calendar folder is the Calendar folder in the default store. That is the one calendar folder that is (a) always guaranteed to exist and (b) always guaranteed that the user has full control permissions on it. No other folder can meet those requirements.

You might find an application to synchronize its contents with that of another folder, but that doesn't change the location of the default folder.

I can't argue with you. You're an industry expert, worked with
CDO/VBA/etc... more than I have and ever will. I'll check out your books to
learn the ins and outs of the product. Thanks again.
