    Good post, you are missing one important item on your list of access rights “limiteddetails” which allows free/busy subject and location. also you do not need the domain when adding a security group.

    Does not work… you have to add distribution group in exchange management.

    you can’t add a security group, it’s only for users that already have an email account on the server (it’s the equivalent of calendar’s tab “access rights” in outlook).
