Hi,
I have a very odd outlook setup. We are running exchange 2003 as well
as normal internet email.
5 machines on the network use the exchange server for calendar
sharing. The entire email system still depends on a pop3 server (this
is a very strange setup I know, unfortunately I can do anything about
it, I just have to go with it!).
The problem is that the machines running the double account (Exchange
and Internet mail) puts the meeting requests in the wrong calendar.
Say for instance that person A sends a meeting invitation to person B.
Person B accepts the invitation. The meeting is then scheduled in the
personal calendar instead of the exchange calendar. Does anyone out
there know how to disable the personal calendar or make the exchange
calendar the default?

Thanks
Peet
 
You really can't since Outlook considers the Calendar folder in the default
message store (probably a PST in your case) to be the Calendar.
