resources
We have just recently implemented more Outlook user profiles for the purpose
of scheduling our conference rooms for meetings. This is now working very well. We also have a 4 portable projectors that are used by various employees as loaner machines. My question is, does anyone have a good idea of how this could be done without creating a new profile for each projector? I presume it would ideally be on one calendar that could be shared by everyone. I"m open to any and all suggestions. Dave French |

Hi Dave,
My understanding of the issue is: You want to know how to access two or mailboxes in one Outlook profile. If I have misunderstood anything, please feel free to correct me. Firstly, we have to create a primary Exchange mailbox account in Outlook, as you may know, each profile supports one Exchange mailbox account. And then, we can open other mailbox's folder in this profile, or add it as a secondary mailbox. For the detail steps, I recommend read this article: http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/permissions.htm Hope the info helps.

Completely the wrong direction.
In the easiest possible terms I want a solution for several different people around the company to be able to see what projectors (5 total) are available for a given day and for that solution to be easy to administer.

I suggest you open the projector's(not the primary user) calendar folder in your
current profile. Is this what you need? If you have further concerns, please feel free to post back. Regards, Pat Cai Microsoft Online Partner Support |

OK.
Another part to the same question. I see in Outlook 2003 (maybe it was available before that) a new line in the Scheduling called 'Resources'. How do we make the rooms and projectors etc. show up as a resource and not in the list of employees? Dave French "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/sk...rce.htm#ol2000 Please note that the resource mailbox will still listed up in the Exchange address list since it is a standard Exchange mailbox+Windows AD users. Regards, Pat Cai Microsoft Online Partner Support |
