EXPERT RESPONSE
Yes, you can export Exchange public folders to another location. For your public folder calendar, you'll need to use Outlook to connect to the public folder and then create a view for the folder that displays all the items as follows:
- In Outlook, select View -> Arrange By -> Current View -> Define View -> New -> Table (name the view whatever you'd like) -> OK twice -> Apply View.
You will now see all the calendar appointments in a view that's easy to manipulate.
- Next create a new Outlook .PST file.
- Then create a new folder in the Outlook .PST file that 'contains appointment items.'
- Select all the items in the Exchange public folder and drag or copy them into the Outlook .PST folder.
Once this is done, you can use the same process to copy the data to any public or private calendar folder. You can then change the view back to day/week/month or whatever you prefer.
