How to view Free/ busy information...

[Rambo]

Is there any way we can get the Free/busy information of a scalix user in exchange user calendar(exchange user being the organizer) and vice versa ?

There isn't a way to convince Exchange to look at the Scalix freebusy information live on the server.

It might be possible to make use of Outlook's ability to publish FreeBusy information to an FTP site however, from what I remember, this requires a lot of jumping through hoops to even get a test setup working correctly and requires hard-coding some information in the setup. Either way, it's not something that Scalix has tested so we can't give a recommendation as such.

How can a scalix user(organizer) will be able to know whether his invitee has accepted the appointment.Is there anywork around.In outllook and in Exchange we have a tracking tab...which can be utilized to get the response even after 10 days.

I think there shd be some workaround for user convience... :-) ..as this is very essential.

TNEF is important to ensuring that you can send/receive meeting requests and replies from Exchange.

You have a some choices here.

If you know for certain that a particular domain is always going to be Exchange, you can run the commands

Code: Select all

omconfux -T domain.com
omoff -d 0 unix
omon unix

This tells the Internet gateway to send outgoing messages as TNEF to any address belonging to domain.com.
If you want to add more domains, you need to specify all the domains in the command again, i.e.

Code: Select all

omconfux -T domain1.com -T domain2.com

If you don't have that configuration in place, you can tell Outlook to send to a particular recipient as Rich Text. Right-click on any recipient in a message ( before you send it ) and click "Send as Rich Text". You can also set this property on any personal Contact you may have.

If you have internet users in your SYSTEM directory and there are lots of individual domains, you can change their route from /internet to /internet,tnef through SAC.
