default calendar delegation

[chrisj_0]

Is there a way that I can have certian users calendars delegated to someone with out needing to go through Outlook? I have several managers that want to be able to see their employees calendars. Some don't mind if their users know others would like it to be "super secret".
I'm sure that there's a way to do this directly in the directory which I could script so I could do all of them at once rather than each at one time.
Any thoughts?
TIA,
chrisj

You'll have to designate an account with mailbox admin capabilites with:

ommodu -o "user name/mailnode" -c +mboxadmin

To access a mailbox with the mboxadmin account via Outlook here's what
you need to do. Due to a change MS made in the mail control
panel (I think it occurred between Win2K and XP) you can no longer
create a profile using the Control Panel unless you have the password.
To work around that limitation you can use our special tool for profile
creation called sxpro. It can create Outlook Profiles
from scratch and it doesn't validate the username or password. What you
do have to do is create a file called INSTALL.INI and point sxpro at it.

To get sxpro.exe locate the scalix connect setup.exe and run:

setup /e

Then, for example, take the example INSTALL.INI file below and the SXPRO.EXE
and save them to C:\ . Now, edit the INSTALL.INI file with something
like Notepad. You really only have to change three lines, The
InstallUsername (from User Name to the user whose mailbox you want to
open), the InstallDefaultProfileName (from PROFILE1 to a unique name for
this profile) and InstallMailServerName (from scalix-server.domain.com
to your Scalix Server's FQDN).

Next, resave the file and open up a command prompt (SXPRO is a command
line utility). At the prompt, type CD \ to go to the location of the
SXPRO program and type "sxpro -i c:\" and hit enter. You will now have
a profile for that user. Now, start Outlook, select the profile you
just created and enter in the password field:

SU=mboxadmin-username;PASS=mboxadmin-password

in the password field. Note: SU and PASS are case sensitive.

Here is an example install.ini

Code: Select all

[Install Flags]
InstallMailServerName=scalix-server.domain.com
InstallLogfileUpLoadLocation=\\clientlog.txt
InstallDefaultProfileName=PROFILE1
InstallWithServerStore=1
InstallAllowSavedPassword=0
InstallSetDefaultProfile=0
InstallMigrateExProfile=0
InstallLogFileLocation=\\temp.txt
InstallUsername=User Name
InstallPassword=anything

Once you've done all of that you, as the mboxadmin user, can log on to each account and set up delegation.
