Class Question: How many calendars can I see at one time?

You have the ability to see multiple calendars at once in outlook. You can have up to 9 monitors in Windows Vista so that means you can see quite a view. Here is how to do it.

  1. Open Outlook
  2. Click Calendar.
  3. Click Open Shared Calendars.
  4. Type in the name of the users calendar you want to view and click OK.
  5. The other user's calendar will appear in the navigation pane in the People's Calendars group.
  6. Now, just check the box next to all the calendars that you want to view.

Tip: If you want to compare them on top of each other:

  1. Right click the name tab on top of each calendar.
  2. Click View in overlay mode.
  3. The calendars will become transparent and on top of each other.
  4. Reverse the process to undo it.

Error icon when creating a GPO Preference drive map

You may not have an error at all.  Take a look at the drive mapping below. The red triangle is what threw us off.  It is not an error.  It is simply a color representation of the Replace option of the Action field in the properties of the drive mappings. Create action This give you a green triangle. The Create action creates a new mapped drive for users. Replace Action The Replace action gives you a red triangle.  This action will delete and recreate mapped drives for users.
