Default Employee In/Out Calendar

We are wanting to create a shared calendar to track if employees are in or
out of the office. Anyone have any suggestions on how to best do this? We
are running Exchange 2003 and the Outlook clients are 2003 and 2007.

I found an article at http://www.cgnet.com/Exchange/inout.htm
It appears to be for an older version of Outlook.

Public folder calendar works for us. However, public folders are
deprecated.

Use a Group Calendar and use the Free/Busy option to see if employees are in or out - or if simply busy.

Actually, the Microsoft Exchange Team just came out with the updated
Exchange Public Folder Guidance. They point out the the use of the
word "De-emphasized" has been mis-interpreted as dead, and this is not
true. Public Folders will have full support for 10 years from the release
of the next major Exchange server release.

Not to nitpick since the recent announcement is good news - but they
announced in 2006 that public folders were depreciated in the "next version"
(2007) and would be out of the following version - that is "dead" to many
since a lot of sites do upgrade to the latest and greatest. The recent
announcement (smartly) reversed that announcement. We will have the use of
public folders in the next version of Exchange - this means they will be
available in a supported version of Exchange for at least the next 12 yrs or
so (based on the assumption Exchange 14 will RTM in 2 yrs) - for any site
site who chooses to stick with 10 yr old software. And if they don't need
support, they can have them forever as has always been the case.
