Best posted to an Exchange group as OWA is a part of Exchange, not Outlook.
microsoft.public.exchange.clients is a good place to start.

After furious head scratching, Anvigos asked:
| I'll answer to myself
|
| HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\O utlook\Options\Calendar
| Value Type: DWORD
| Value Name: UseLegacyFB
| Values:
| 0 or not set - default behavior of using the Availability Service
| 1 - use public folder Free/Busy information (what you need to emulate
| 2003 behavior)
|
| However, this requires a Public Folders hierarchy in the Exchange 2007
| organization.
|
| Still looking for information on how to do the similar thing with OWA

| Thanks!

|| Hello,
||
|| We have a solution in place that replicates the free/busy data from
|| another org and assigns it to AD contacts in our org (the solution
|| just writes free/busy messages in the F/B public folder, using
|| contact's legacyExchangeDN).
||
|| So, here's what we've got:
|| Outlook 2003 w/mailbox on Exchange 2003 = can view contact's
|| free/busy Outlook 2003 w/mailbox on Exchange 2007 = can view
|| contact's free/busy Outlook 2007 w/mailbox on Exchange 2003 = can
|| view contact's free/busy Outlook 2007 w/mailbox on Exchange 2007 =
|| can NOT view contact's free/busy
||
|| Apparently, Outlook 2007 users with mailboxes located on Exchange
|| 2007 cannot view free/busy because in this case Outlook 2007 uses
|| Availability Service to retrieve free/busy, but that requires a
|| mailbox to exist , which is not the case for contacts.
||
|| So, is there anyway to switch Outlook 2007 to legacy mode of
|| retrieving free/busy (from public folders) even when it is connected
|| to mailbox located on Exchange 2007? Or, is there any otherway to
|| resolve this (configure Availablility service to read free/busy not
