Hopefully this is a dumb question as it is driving me crazy.

My Director has requested that I create a few public calendar items to represent boardroom bookings that all of the users of the company can view to see if they have a meeting in a specific room. This is easy but the addon that he wants is that there is a computer in our lobby that is logged in as a generic user and has access only to view the calendar items, this user must be able to see the scheduled appointments but must NOT be able to open a specific item....this is where I hit the wall. I have the entire thing set up but either the "generic user" can open the appointment or it doesn't see that the appointment even exists. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance to you all.

Generic User needs to be either an existing user in AD, or you will have to use the everyone group.

The permissions you want are Read Items and Folder Visible. Under Roles, set it to Reviewer. This is in Exchange SysMan, Admin group, Server, public Folders Etc...Permissions

Been there already, the reviewer option allows the user (who is a member of AD) to open all of the items and read what is inside. I (my boss) wants this user to see the item listed in the folder but he wants it to be denied access when they try to open the item.

I personally feel that this cannot be accomplished with the available permissions within exchange but he says it worked at his last company but doesn't know how it was configured.

thanks again for the suggestion.

The List Folder Contents permission allows users to list the contents of a folder without having permission to read the files. If you assign the Read Data permission on the contents of a folder without the List Folder Contents permission on the folder itself, users receive an "Access Denied" error message in Windows Explorer or at a command prompt.

another option might be the Access Based Enumeration.

Bottom line is that information contained in a Calendar which is stored in a shared folder still has shared folder & NTFS permissions that will apply to it.
