A couple of more tips for anyone doing a conversion like this:

  • Outlook wants to tell you that you can’t set up an exchange
    connection while Outlook is running the first time you open it. Just
    click cancel and go right back in and do the same thing again and this
    time it will let you. Typical Redmond.
  • Do the 1-step migration if you can. It will import calendar
    items into schedule+ data on the exchange server and import it
    automatically rather than having to save that .sc2 file and import by
    hand.
  • When it comes to sharing folders like Calendar and Contacts, it’s
    not enough to just assign permissions in Outlook. You have to also go
    into Active Directory Users and Computers and give the person who will
    be accessing the folder Full Mailbox Rights to the person being
    accessed. I know it’s crazy but I confirmed it on newsgroups and
    that’s the only way I could get it to work too.



So far so good. We’ll see if everything blows on Monday.
