Does anyone know how to make Evolution and Microsoft office sync together? I am running a linux box and a PC box that has office. I would like to have the same contacts and calender updated easily between both computers. is this possible?

You need webmail to be enabled on your Exchange server and a program from Novell/SuSE which may be called OpenExchange.

you first need to get your IT department to configure and secure the exchange web-mail function as it is not default.

then you need to buy the openexchange (IIRC it has a fee), but the fee should include support.

I believe openexchange is free now. But Webmail needs a licence - c'mon, it is a Microsoft product!

get what? the webmail for Exchange server, or OpenExchange?

the webclient you have to call MS and order the license, then you have to get the IT department to configure that.

as for OpenExchange, just google for it, it should be one of the top responses.
