Ok, first technical post. I recently had to figure out the best way to do shared calendars in Exchange 2007. I used to do this with public folders and it worked well enough, but the word is, thats a no-no anymore. So we have to go the shared mailbox route. By no means am I an exchange master, but I don't see why public folders aren't the best option for this, instead of creating a whole mailbox, why couldn't they just add some basic extensions to the public folder options to give them more functionality, and leave the mailboxes to what you would think they would be for; a person receiving mail.
Anyway, since Windows and Exchange 2007 seem to be going the command line route, we have to change some settings and permissions through the exchange management shell. Further in this post, I'll go through the commands that I needed to get my install working.
