[ExchangeList] Re: Exchange 2003 Free/Busy

I tried Google Calendar Sync but it was only replicating about 60% of my appointments.  Posted an issue on the Google forum about a month ago, no replies yet.  I also saw that others were have the same issues.  So take that into consideration.
 
I tried a couple of other free sync tools that work with Google and Outlook calendar publishing to a public location.  The Office.microsoft.com option is the best I've come across yet.  Just wish the external person didn't have to sign-in to Live 1st to view it.

Another potential option: Google Calendar.  Easy on the part of the 'sharer' via google calendar sync.  A bit less convenient on the part of the 'sharee' as they probably need to go to the web to check on free/busy info.  I don;t know that there is a great solution to allow free/busy lookups across the two platforms, yet.

An example of how this works well on an individual basis, though, is what I am doing now.  I have an Exchange mailbox/calendar with my client, another with my firm, and a google calendar.  I use the google calendar as a go-between for both Exchange systems, keeping all three in sync.

A bit kludgey but free and works very well.

On a per uses basis you can use Outlook 2007 and office.microsoft.com to share F/B with external users.

I am sure a lot of people would be interested in this as well. A lot of company's now outsource and it is difficult to know if someone is busy or away when trying to schedule a meeting.  If anyone has suggestions I would be interested as well!

Hello all –
Any one recommend a solution for sharing Exchange 2003 Free/Busy information with external organizations (without using IOR tool)?
