Public Folder Calendar - how do I make it show up?

We are running SBS2003 and Exchange, some clients run Outlook 2007/ some 2003.


I have created a public calendar in Public Folders and shared it with all
users. So, the functionaly of the calendar exists but it wont do the company
any good unless it is visible. As a sysadmin I am able to navigate to "public
folders" and look at the COmpany Calendar. Common users are not able to do
this, it is to advanced for them - also unless the public calendar is visible
under the calendar tab no one will use it.

So what I am asking is how is the public calendar automatically added to all
existing and future users calendar tab?

I can do it manually by just drag and drop the public calendar to my
personal folders and get a copy of it there. But again, this is to advanced
for our users (they check mail and write documents, they have no
understandings of computers beyond that).

If all fails, would it be possible to create a vsb login script that makes
public calendar visible under calendar tab?

Hi Job:

Can you use the calendar shown on Company Web, or create additional ones?

Easy, no public folder required.

Open the Folder List - Public Folders - All Public Folders. Right
click on the calendar you wish to add and select Add to Favorites from
the context menu.

Have the users drag the public calendar folder to Public Folders\Favorites.
Itshould then show up under the calendars view (navigation pane button) as
another shared calendar. Each user needs to do this themselves.
