Is it possible for users using outlooks diary function to update each others diarys? Basically we need users to be able to update the boss's diary from their own PC's. I know you can do the schedule meeting thing, but he needs to accept the meeting, doesn't he?

We have an exchange 2000 server and clients runing office 97, 2000 and XP. Can this be done?

Another minor problem we have is - How do you add people to the global address list? Is it possible to do this with people that don't have a local account on the exchange server?

OUTLOOK
Use delegates. The delegates by default can accept meeting invites, with the proper permissions these same delegates can also access other areas of the mail account (Inbox, Notes, Journal, Tasks, etc).

In outlook 2000:
Tools -> Options -> Delegates tab

GLOBAL ADDRESS LIST
Since you are using Exchange 2000 you need to add users via the Active Directory console for Users and Computers. Using this MMC console you can create new mail accounts, custom recipients, distribution lists,etc. If you are unfamiliar with AD, I recommend doing a crash study on it before diving into it head first. There are various books and documents available on how to 'administer' Exchange 2000 and Active Directory.

Good luck.
