Consolidating Calendar Colours in Outlook

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

I have an Exchange server 2003 with clients running both Outlook 2003 and
Outlook 2007.
The calendar categories/colours are different across the office versions.
Users are modifying and creating their own categories/colours.

Is there a way of consolidating the colours for everybody on the exchange
server ?

Thanks for any advice

There's no way to synchronize category colors without a third-party tool.
You might try Category Manager for that, please see the link in my signature
for details and the dowload.

Anyway, only Outlook 2007 uses category colors. The flag colors in Outlook
2003 are another story; I don't know if there's a tool to synchronize the
flags.
