Introduction An Exchange Calendar Only User Mailbox is useful to people that want Exchange calendars, but prefer to use another e-mail package. Exchange was never intended to be used as a Calendar Only solution, but can be configured to work that way. An Exchange Calendar Only User Mailbox has the following features and issues: Users create and accept calendar invitations, as well as manage their own and delegated calendars using Outlook, Outlook Web App, or Entourage the same as a regular Exchange calendar. A copy of all Calendar invitations, updates, and responses from Exchange users are forwarded to an external e-mail address for notification purposes only. The admin configures this forwarding address which can only be to a single UM mailbox, for example, uniqname@mail.umich.edu. It cannot be forwarded to the UM e-mail gateway at uniqname@umich.edu. Users need to be trained to recognize Calendar invitations in their external e-mail system and act on them through one of the clients above, as there is no way to tell that these invitations are from Exchange. A copy of all e-mail from Exchange users is forwarded to an external e-mail address and then automatically deleted from the Exchange mailbox. The Deleted Items folder is automatically emptied once a week. Directory entries for the user should NOT be changed. Only calendar and e-mail items from other Exchange users should go to this mailbox. The user needs to use their Windows Active Directory password to log into their Calendar mailbox. Refer to Choosing and Changing a Secure UMICH Password.
Note:This document has several sections: 1. Administrator Steps to Create a Calendar Only User Mailbox. This section is aimed at Self Serve Administrators that create Exchange mailboxes for their users and ITCom CSRs that create Exchange mailboxes for Full Service Exchange customers. This section discusses creating the mailbox and configuring forwarding to an external e-mail address. 2. Administrator and User Steps for Completing Calendar Setup on Clients This section is for both Self and Full Serve Administrators responsible for client configuration. The administrator and user need to work together to configure a rule in the us ers mailbox to delete all noncalendar e-mail. Important: The rule should be created as closely as possible to the creation of the Calendar Only User Mailbox so mail does not accumulate in this mailbox before the rule is created. 3. Deleting a Calendar Only User Mailbox 4. Converting a Calendar Only User Mailbox to a Regular Mailbox 5. User Training This section is for Self and Full Serve Administrators responsible for supporting users. There are some important training issues that users need to be aware of to successfully use Calendar Only Exchange mailboxes.

Administrator Steps to Create a Calendar Only User Mailbox Self Serve Administrators and ITS Com CSRs who create a regular Exchange mailbox can create an Exchange Calendar Only User Mailbox. The basic steps are as follows: Remove the Exchange Attributes from the uniqname user object. Create a Contact, a type of user object that contains the e-mail forwarding information. Create a regular uniqname Exchange mailbox. Configure this Exchange mailbox to forward mail to the Contact. Configure the Exchange mailbox to be identified as a Calendar Only User Mailbox for billing and Deleted Item maintenance. Send a welcome message to the user. This is required for ITSCom CSRs and optional for Self Serve Administrators.
Remove Exchange Attributes within Exchange 2010 Exchange Management Console Exchange Attributes need to be removed from the mail enabled UMROOT user. Self Service users will be in the Accounts/Dept OU. Full Service users will be in the People OU. 1. Query the user in EMC. 2. Right-click on the user name and click Disable. 3. Click Yes.
Create Contact A Contact object needs to be created in the Active Directory for the user that includes a forwarding address. This forwarding address can only be to a single UM mailbox such as uniqname@mail.umich.edu or uniqname@<dept>.umich.edu. It cannot be forwarded to the UM e-mail gateway at uniqname@umich.edu. Tip: You can determine a reasonable forwarding address by having the user look at their Forwarding Address in the U-M Online Directory. Self Service Admins must create a Contacts OU within the Exchange OU in the departmental UMICH/Organizations OU at the same level as Calendar Resources and Department Mailboxes. (UMICH/Organizations/<Department>/Exchange/Contacts) ITCom CSRs must create a Contacts OU within the departmental OU within the UMICH/Exchange OU. (UMICH/Exchange/<Administration>/Contacts.

(Optional) Send a Welcome message to the new users mailbox.(ITSCom TAs can use the Calendar Welcome script.) Administrator and User Steps for Completing Calendar Setup on Clients Create a Rule in Outlook to delete all e-mail messages A server side rule needs to be created for the mailbox that will delete all regular e-mails as they arrive and retain only Calendar invitations and updates. A weekly job on the server will empty the Deleted Items folder. This rule needs to be setup on an Outlook client by the user or the user and admin working together. Many Calendar Only users may possibly use only OWA to access their calendars, so administrators may want to create an Outlook profile on a test machine, have the user log on to their account, and then the administrator can create the rule for them. The rule contains the following: Apply this rule after the message arrives delete it except if it is a meeting invitation or update
A rule has been created that can be downloaded and imported. The rule file is named calendar-only.rwz and is available at: http://www.itd.umich.edu/exchange/files/calendar-only-forms.rwz Note: We do not recommend that you modify the above rule. If you do, do not change the delete it to permanently delete it. This will change the rule to a client side rule and will only be in effect when you are logged into Exchange. 1. Install Outlook and create a profile for the user.
65 of 78
2. Have the user log on with their Windows Active Directory user name and password. The user name is umroot\uniqname. The system may prompt you for something different. Make sure it begins with umroot\ followed by the uniqname.
3. Once Outlook opens, from the Tools list, select Rules and Alerts.

User Training
There are some very important concepts and idiosyncrasies of the system that are not obvious and must be understood by the user or they will become frustrated and think the system does not work. Exchange was designed to be a Calendar and E-mail system and we are taking away half the normal functionality. Integration with a second mail system complicates matters. Finally, users tend to use a calendar system less than an e-mail system, so they will have less practice getting used to the features. The user can use Outlook or Outlook Web Access on a Windows computer to accept and create calendar invitations and manage their Exchange Calendar. Entourage or Outlook Web Access Basic can be used on a Mac. Delegation works the same way it does for regular Exchange mailboxes. Users will read their forwarded e-mail and calendar invitations on the client they normally use for e-mail including Eudora, Mulberry, Pine, Thunderbird, Outlook Express or Outlook. Information on delegating your calendar and accessing someone elses calendar that has been delegated to you is available here: http://www.itcs.umich.edu/exchange/docs/delegation.pdf Calendar invitations from Exchange will be forwarded to these clients for information purposes only. The user must use one of the Outlook or Entourage clients above to accept the invitation. There is no indication that this is a calendar request from Exchange. The user must learn to recognize the format of the messages. The Accept button will send a response to the meeting organizer, but will not actually accept the invitation within Exchange. Dont use it. Note: The mail.umich.edu web client is a special case. The calendar invitation shows a Meeting Proposal form with an Accept button. Some IMAP clients show calendar invitations as just text e-mails. Thunderbird and Pine are examples. In these cases, Outlook or OWA need to be opened to accept the invitation. Some other IMAP clients such as Outlook Express, Outlook, Mulberry and Eudora show a file attachment in addition to a text message. With these clients, if you have also configured an Outlook client to access your Exchange Calendar Only User Mailbox, some extra integration is available with Outlook. See example below.
71 of 78
Thunderbird Example Text Only Calendar Invitation To demonstrate how this all works, a test e-mail and calendar invitation were sent from a regular Exchange user, tweil, to a Calendar Only Exchange user, winweil. Thunderbird shows both the test e-mail message and calendar invitation that was forwarded from the Exchange user. Both appear as regular e-mails. For this type of IMAP client, the calendar invitation e-mail is only a text alert and the user needs to go to Outlook or Outlook Web App and accept the invitation.
Once you have received the calendar invitation in Thunderbird, you need to open a supported client that is configured to access your Exchange Calendar Only User Mailbox . In this example, Outlook is being used, but it could be OWA or Entourage.

9. Open the Calendar Invitation, click Accept, edit the reply, and then click Send.

Note: If you go back to the Inbox and look at the Deleted Items folder, you will notice that the e-mail test message that appeared in the IMAP mailbox, has been automatically deleted:

4. Check the Calendar to see that the meeting has been placed on your calendar.
77 of 78
Mail.umich.edu When you read your calendar invitation using http://mail.umich.edu, the message has a meeting proposal form that will allow you to accept the meeting. If you click Accept, it sends an e-mail to the meeting organizer, but it will not put the meeting on your schedule. The user needs to go to an Outlook or OWA client and accept the meeting.
