Cheating? You lose real estate by opening a separate browser because you have yet another window open on your desktop which takes up space on the taskbar and in the background. Being able to manage e-mail, tasks, notes, contacts, and calendaring from one application is what customers want and what Outlook is for. Because we cannot access Exchange data through MAPI in untrusted domains through a single Outlook profile this is a perfectly functional solution that keeps it within Outlook. Configuring an Outlook folder to automatically open a specific URL (a calendar in this case) allows some one to access a mailbox from a non-trusted domain through HTTPS without having to run 2 separate Outlook profiles or opening a separate IE Window to read a calendar instead of having all that data displayed in Outlook, which was the desired outcome :-). It may be cheating, but it works and its what the customer (for the poster) wants. The requirement was to do it from Outlook, not a separate IE window.

There's no way that's any better than opening it in a web browser; in fact it's worse because you lose real estate. It's still OWA.

Not quite OL2003'ish, but it works for situations like this. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley [MVP] Sent: Friday, July 29, 2005 7:35 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: A Strange Outlook Request That's all fine but Outlook will open only one of them at a time.

You could do this with Exchange 5.5 I suppose if you have OWA setup, but it won't be nearly as pretty as Exchange 2003's rendering of the Calendar. Best regards, Steven -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ajay Kulsh Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 12:16 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: A Strange Outlook Request We have two domains which have good connectivity but are not trusted. Is there any way a user of one domain can see Calendar of a user in the other domain in the Outlook? Currently we have Exch 5.5 but will soon be moving to Exch 2003, if that matters. Thanks.
