Shared Outlook calendar not updating
I work in the IT department of a college campus and I have several out look users who's calendars are not updating correctly for all users. This is causing a lot of scheduling problems. Some are running Outlook 10 and some are still on Outlook 7. The server is an Exchange server and we also run Windows 2003 server. Today I took the following steps to fix the problem:
Control panel, mail, edit account, change, more settings, advanced tab,
clear the check box “Download shared folders”. Then click OK as you must to
save settings. Then restart Outlook.
Not sure if it helped waiting to see results when more users are here scheduling with those calendars.

Outlook 10 and 7
