Central calendars without Exchange?
LockedA few users at our university are using Outlook 97 to access (read) central calendars, necessitating running an Exchange 5.5 server solely for this purpose. The administration of the Exchange server is very problematic and time consuming, so we havedecided to abandon it as soon as possible. But what to do with all the central calendars (5 central calendars with 3 to 30 persons accessing each simultaneously)?
We are using both Novell NetWare (4.11) and NT-Server (4.0) in our facility. A migration to Novell GroupWise or Lotus Notes, like Exchange, seems to be a poor option for us, as it seems to be overkill without simplifying our situation.
Client OS on WS is NT 4.0, client for www and e-mail is Netscape 4.7. Mail server is SUN Ultra Enterprise 450 (Solaris 5.7) which is very reliable.Points are given as follows:
1) Price of product (best: free [for universities]),
2) Lower effort to change our environment (server – client)I will close this question and award points as soon the Exchange server is down forever!
