We recently upgraded to Exchange 2010 and now have upgraded many clients to Outlook 2007 & 2010.
We have a department head who shares out her calendar with her staff. She has Outlook 2010, but some of her staff still have Outlook 2007.
She set her calendar permission to "Free/Busy with title, subject, location" for all her staff. Those staff with Outlook 2010 can see her calendar and the appointments she has on there as expected. However, those with Outlook 2007 can see her calendar, but it is completely blank.
She wants the ability to hide details of appointments from her staff, yet let them know if she's available.
I've read on the forums here that "free/busy" is really only functional for scheduling meetings, but the "free/busy with title, subject, location" works fine for staff with Outlook 2010. The recommendation seems to be to mark meetings "PRIVATE" if you don't want others to see details.....but the "free/busy with title, subject, location" seems to meet the needs for all involved and have Outlook 2010, except for the Office 2007 staff.
Is there something here we need to change so the Outlook 2007 staff can at least see some entries on her calendar and it not show up blank?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
