I'm decommissioning a meeting room scheduling [web] tool in favor of the same Outlook's functionality. I'd like, however, to publish (read-only) a "Group Schedule" view in a web page.
To make the idea more clear:
On Outlook's Calendar view, select Actions / View Group Schedules and then create a new group for say, Conference Rooms. This new view will give a global view of Conference Rooms occupancy. I need a way to publish this room's occupancy.
Any idea or suggestion?
Thanks in advance

Click the Calendar icon at the bottom of your Outlook screen to open the calendar view. 2. Locate the section labeled My Calendars on the left side of the window. If you do not see any rooms: • Click on “Open Calendar” on the ribbon • Select “From Room List” This will pull up the meeting rooms.
To display available rooms, select a room list from the Show a room list box. If a room list is selected and the room is still not visible, verify that the room is visible in the GAL.
Locate the meeting room resource you want and click Open. Go to settings and click Calendar. Navigate to Resource scheduling. Configure the Scheduling Options and Scheduling Permissions as needed.
For Exchange 2007 and onward come with a handy web service API. A good place to start on that would be to check out the Exchange Web Services Reference.
However, if you're using an older version of Exchange, I think you'll have to look into WebDAV. I've only retrieved calendar events from Exchange 2003, and it was pretty messy. A good article on WebDav can be found over at Marc Charbonneau’s Blog.
Not a complete answer to your question, but it might be a start.

I'm no Outlook Guru, but if you use an iCal (?) calendar provider on the web, like the ones on Live.com, you can view them in Outlook.
