Unable to share calendars with local Exchange and hosted Exchange users
- We're in e-mail coexistence mode as we migrate users to MOS. I just noticed that migrated users cannot view the calendars of non-migrated users and vice-versa. When I try to share my calendar with a non-migrated user, I get an this error, "Calendar sharing is not available with the collowing entries because of permission settings on your network:" I am selecting the user from the Global Address List.
Going the other way, local Exchange users can't see the current calendars of the online Exchange users, they can only see the un-synched and now stale calendars of the migrated users.
This is a big problem until everyone is migrated.

Yeah, this is a common problem. The only solution I've been able to find is from Cemaphore (http://www.cemaphore.com/index.php). They make a utility which can perform a 2 way sync on users on premise and online mailboxes, so if a user has a calendar entry in their on premise mailbox it syncs it to their online mailbox and vice versa. A solution like this would require a drastic change to your migration and would incur additional cost, but it can be done. It's probably easier just to migrate everyone to Microsoft Online as quickly as possible.

- Unfortunately, this is by design. We are considering in implementing this feature in future versions of Microsoft Online Services. At this time, this is not possible with our service.
