How do I go about getting an Microsoft Exchange Server so that my staff can exchange diaries?

Answer 1

In your Outlook (2000 or 2003), you would share your calendar, and assign access rights for other users, on the other users Outllook, open shared calendar.

In Outlook 2000, you cant have multi-columns, in 2003, you can have multiple users calendar display side-by-side in columns, so its a much better way to work.

Some companies prefer to create a 'OfficeCal' user, and share just one calendar, so every user will look and share the one calendar, not a good way unless you only have a few staffs.

Answer 2

to use Microsoft exchange server, you need a windows 2003 server!
then you need to buy client licences for each user, they come in 5 user packs!

then you can setup a domain, on the server and use exchange via outlook to exchange diaries!

it is more complex than this but this is the basic structure!

Answer 3

You pay large sums of money to Microsoft.
