This topic explains how to use the Transporter Management Console or the Transporter Management Shell to configure a Free/Busy Connector.

Before You Begin

Complete the procedures in the following topics before you configure a Free/Busy Connector:

Verify that the local Notes ID has Reader or higher access in the Local Free Time Info application's (busytime.nsf) access control list (ACL) and can access the Lotus Domino server that is running excalcon.exe.

To perform this procedure, the account you use must be delegated Exchange Server Administrator role and local Administrators group for the target server.

Procedure
