exchange 2007: iCal access
apple iCal evidently requires specific permissions to be set on exchange 2007 calendars for access. for MS outlook users the usual permissions typically suffice for calendar viewing (free/busy time, subject, location). for iCal to function the user who access is shared to must explicitly be defined as a Reviewer for the calendar. this should resolve iCal reporting having “no access” to the calendar.
