Publish your free and busy times for others to see
Show All
Hide All
For people who don't have access to your Outlook calendar, you can
publish the times that you are already booked and the times that you are
still available to a shared Internet or intranet location. (If you're a
Microsoft Exchange user, others in your organization can see your free/busy
times (free/busy time: In Calendar, time status and user defined labels are
indicated by colors and patterns.) by default when they schedule a meeting
with you.)
Regardless of how you publish your free/busy times, you can change how
often Microsoft Outlook publishes this information and for what period of
time.
1.. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click Calendar
Options.
2.. Click Free/Busy Options.
3.. To specify how often Microsoft Outlook automatically updates
your free/busy information on your Exchange server or one of the servers
used in the situations described below, enter a number in the Update
free/busy information on the server every x minutes box.
4.. To specify how many months of free/busy data is available on the
server, enter a number in the Publish x month(s) of Calendar free/busy
information on the server box. You can publish up to 36 months of free/busy
schedule information.
To publish your free/busy times to the Internet or Intranet, do the
following:
a.. In the Publish at my location box, type the name of the server
where your free/busy information is stored.
Notes
a.. The name you specify, such as
file://computername/public/name.vfb, can include FTP, HTTP, or file URLs.
b.. Anyone who you give the location to or who acquires it through
other means can access your free/busy times.
What about those instructions are not clear?

Milly Staples said:Again, here is the link to a wealth of information on sharing Internet
Free/Busy but you have posted nothing about what resources you have to
accomplish this. Do you have an FTP site, a Web Page (perhaps through your
ISP), etc.
It is very hard to tell someone how to park a car if they don't even have a
car.

After furious head scratching, aehan asked:
| Hello
|
| I've been looking for information on how to publish my free/busy time
| to the web and came across this series of questions and answers. I
| have sympathy with Ty - I don't understand fully either. The thing
| is - does this apply only if you have Exchange Server? I am working
| on a stand alone PC and accessing the Internet and Outlook Email
| through an ISP using a POP server. Can I still publish my free/busy
| time? What's confusing me is the reference to a shared location -
| which makes me think I can't do it... Again, please forgive an
| amateur, we don't profess to know as much as th experts, and that's
| why we ask.
|
| Thanks for your help

Publishing free/busy information assumes that it is available via the
Internet. You will need either a FTP site, a web site or someplace
dedicated on the Internet to publish this information, perhaps a space on
MSN or other free service.
From the Outlook Help files:
For people who don't have access to your Outlook calendar, you can publish
the times that you are already booked and the times that you are still
available to a shared Internet or intranet location. (If you're a Microsoft
Exchange user, others in your organization can see your free/busy times
(free/busy time: In Calendar, time status and user defined labels are
indicated by colors and patterns.) by default when they schedule a meeting
with you.)
Regardless of how you publish your free/busy times, you can change how often
Microsoft Outlook publishes this information and for what period of time.
1.. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click Calendar Options.
2.. Click Free/Busy Options.
3.. To specify how often Microsoft Outlook automatically updates your
free/busy information on your Exchange server or one of the servers used in
the situations described below, enter a number in the Update free/busy
information on the server every x minutes box.
4.. To specify how many months of free/busy data is available on the
server, enter a number in the Publish x month(s) of Calendar free/busy
information on the server box. You can publish up to 36 months of free/busy
schedule information.
To publish your free/busy times to the Internet or Intranet, do the
following:
a.. In the Publish at my location box, type the name of the server where
your free/busy information is stored.
Notes
a.. The name you specify, such as file://computername/public/name.vfb, can
include FTP, HTTP, or file URLs.
b.. Anyone who you give the location to or who acquires it through other
means can access your free/busy times.
