Outlook w/o Exchange Server







Outlook w/o Exchange Server

Outlook w/o Exchange Server 12/10/2002 10:56 AM

John's finding that Outlook has limitations when used without an Exchange Server: I work at a company where there are roughly 900 employees. There are many different platforms and OSes running thoughout the organization: Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9, Windows (name your favorite flavor), various flavors of *nix and other proprietary stuff in between. We don't have an Exchange Server at all, yet my department uses Outlook XP (great upgrade to Outlook 2000 btw). The first thing I tried to do was show some of the office staff how to share calendars last Monday... little did I know that we weren't able to do that... and the sad thing is, to me that's over half the value of Outlook. [_Go_] Note: If I was at work and folks were around I'd save this link for later due to John's pretty pictures. I think John's definitely right about this -- not only is NOT being able to share calendars bad but, what's worse, is that Outlook / Exchange client used to have this and Microsoft took it out. Clearly to drive more sales of Exchange Server. But you know something? Even if they had an Exchange Server, their wide variety of clients -- Mac, Unix, Windows, etc, would prohibit everyone from taking advantage of it anyway. Exchange Server really works best with Outlook as its client. I'm sure there might be a way to take advantage of it from a Mac but for everyone else? Nope. This makes me think that WebCalendar might be interesting to him. WebCalendar is how we personally do calendaring and we recmmented it to our consulting clients as well. WebCalendar is a web based, open source, php implemented calendar. It is totally free (GPL), supports single user and multiple user events and works like a snap. Here's how we make it seamless: We tell our clients to drag the link to it into their Outlook Sidebar. This means that it can be clicked on from our Outlook just as if it was the Outlook Calendar. [_Picture_] [_More_] The big disadvantage here is that you don't have an offline version of your calendar. Although we haven't implemented it yet, we know how to solve this -- setup the calendaring system with either an automatic job or a manual function which emails an HTML version of your current calendar to your Outlook account. Is that perfect? No. Is it better than paying for Exchange server for 900 employees if all you really need is calendaring? You bet your life it is. Although, since I use this on a daily basis, I'm definitely biased here. Oh and here's the obligatory advertisment: If you need a calendaring system for your company let me know. We've done this for clients and it's a very powerful, very sophisticated calendar that we can install for you.
