Publishing Your Schedule From Outlook

I’m currently managing a team that uses Lotus Notes.  Because I need to use Outlook through my company’s mail server, making my schedule public – so that team members using Notes can see my schedule and schedule meetings with me – was problematic until I realised that I can have Outlook publish my schedule in standard vCalendar format.

In Outlook:-

• Display the Free/Busy Options Dialog (Tools>Options>Calendar Options>Free Busy Options).
• Select the Publish at my location checkbox and enter a local, network or FTP address as per the Outlook help file. e.g. ftp://account:password@www.yourname.com/%name%.vfb
