Sharing Calendars in Outlook Web Access

Many Office Manages and Practice Directors need shared access to Physician calendars, which is easily setup in Microsoft Exchange 2000 or later. But when working remotely and using Outlook Web Access (webmail version of Exchange) the feature is not as readily available as with Outlook on the PC.

One trick to resolve this is to log into your Outlook Web Access (OWA), the url string should look like: http://mail.practicedomain.com or something similar. Then to access Dr. Jones' calendar type in his/her username, forward-slash, calendar. For example, http://mail.practicedomain.com/drjones/calendar.

Assuming you already have rights to view this particular Physicians calendar within the office, this will pull up Dr. Jones' calendar. This feature only lets you see his/her calendar and will not provide the comparison calendar between multiple users, but at least give you a view.
