you need to log onto a client machine as the account that has the public calendar. Then configure Outlook.

Once in Outlook ... Tools | Options | Calendar Options | Resource Scheduling and tick all three tick boxes ..... you may want to set permissions.

Hope this helps.

This it what i did in exchange 5.5. The problem is the only calender i can manage is the calender of the user(s). I can't manage the public calender from outlook to set this specific option.

It seems that you're trying to set up a calendar for direct booking. I don't think this is something you can do on a calendar in a public folder; I believe direct booking requires a user account.

I'm going to quote another resource website (don't hate):

Maintaining a resource in a public folder is a variation on the direct creation theme. Users who want to schedule the resource make appointments directly in the public folder. Use permissions on the folder to restrict who has access to the resource.

The two disadvantages of this method are that the folder resource's availability is not shown in the Meeting Planner, where you see the free/busy times for everyone else, and you cannot invite the folder resource to a meeting. You must book it directly by making an entry in its folder.
