Does anyone know of a way to share Calendars between 2 Exchange 5.5 sites located on 2 seperate Windows 2000 Forests? I need a complete share not just the Free/Busy options. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You might look at this spipstick article titled, "Sharing with Exchange Server Public and Mailbox Folders"

http://www.slipstick.com/exs/pfshare.htm

(REMOVE SPACES from the pasted URL.)

Sharing Calendar Folders:

To share your own calendarwith someone else, grant access with Tools | Options | Delegates or with the File | Properties dialog for the Calendar folder. If you don't see the Delegates tab and you do have Exchange Server in the current profile, use Tools | Options | General |Add-in Manager to add the Dlgsetp.ecf add-on.

There are dozens of additional links within this very thorough article including, but not limited to, the following:

More interesting links found nested within that article:

Live Group Calendar Tools:

Copies all Outlook appointments from Microsoft Exchange Server into a central database and uses Microsoft Internet Information Server to publish it. Users access the calendar and can create meetings through their web browsers. Supports Exchange 2000.

Enterprise Calendar:

This is a complex sample application that shows how to synchronize data from users' folders to a central public folder automatically. It uses custom forms, Exchange Server script and a .dll created with Visual Basic. Many thanks to Tom Howe, who has demonstrated this application at many conferences.

For Exchange 5.5, click here to download sample code and a white paper explaining the application in detail (479kb, 8 Aug 1999).

Exchange 2000, Enterprise Calendar uses event sinks to resolve some of the limitations in the original version. Click here to download sample code.

There are indeed quite a number of possible tools.

Thank you for the response, however after researching this site, many options here work within a single Exchange Site/single Forest structure. The problem here is there are 2 Exchange sites and 2 Forests, 1 Exchange Site in each Forest. In order toshare the Calendar you need to have the people on an address list so you can set permissions. We tried using MMS to poulate the other sites lists but the permissions for Exchange will not cross with MMS. I fear this is not going to be possible usingMicrosoft tools.
