How to set up 4 computers to use 1 calendar for 1 person

Lets see if I got this right. I set up a user profiles on all computers called "Work". Are you referring to a Windows user profile or a mail profile here? The Windows username doesn't have to be the same across the PCs nor does the mail profile name, for that matter, but they MAY agree if that's what you want. Log in as "Work" on one computer (desktop 2), and open outlook. That should create a .pst file, which I can locate on the shared folder of desktop 2. Correct so far? Opening Outlook doesn't create a PST. I'm assuming that you already have Outlook running and a mail profile and PST created on one of the PCs. Once that's the case, then you can create the folder which you will share, move the PST to that folder and, when you start Outlook, browse to it to reconnect it to Outlook. Do I have to also create a user profile in outlook, if so in one or all copies? Outlook won't run without a mail profile. Naturally there will be a mail profile on each machine that runs Outlook. Then I can go to the other computers and log in as "Work", open outlook and select File Open and direct it to the shared location? If so, will that mean every time someone logs on to a computer as "Work" and opens outlook, it will automatically go to the shared file, or will Outlook have to be told open the shared file? Once you've opened a PST in Outlook, it will always open it when started. What about the outlook versions? Can I mix 2000 with 2003? Or just use remote desktop? Or? If the PST you're sharing is in ANSI format (Outlook 97-2002), then all versions of Outlook should be able to access it. -- Brian Tillman |
