      The issue is I don't know where that calendar is located in Exchange. If it's under a specific user, I have no idea which user. Powershell might work, but in my opinion, shouldn't I be able to find it in the GUI also?

        You can do it through Outlook if you have access to it. You can also look up the owner via powershell. Exchange isn't something I've touched in a couple of years (especially since we are Office 365 now).

          What command would that be? For looking up the owner?

            @thanksaj I'll look and see if I can't find it... I feel like it was Get-MailboxCalendarFolder---- something...

            This may do it although you would have to filter to find the owner:

                It's under the individual. I believe that your user in the GAL is a mailbox, correct? Right click, go to contact card, that will be the individual ID for the mailbox.

                Multiple ways to do it.

                Quick and easy, OWA.

                Quick and dirty, Outlook.

                Console, more of a pain in the ass:

                  I have searched the entire Exchange server and can find no users with that name or anything similar. My fear is that a random user created the calendar and that I have to track down the creator.

                    The issue is I don't have a machine I can easily just remote into to find out who owns the calendar. If that calendar is connected to a mailbox, I can't find it as of yet.

                      A personal calendar is the wrong way to do that anyway. Can't you just copy it and create a shared calendar?

                        I'm pretty sure it is a shared calendar but I can't be 100% sure. I've been trying to find it on the backend and can't...

                            I need to give a user specified by the client permissions to the calendar.

                                    Righto, I'm not going to pass judgement on the person who set up the calendar except to say "Don't let them do it again".

                                    From the looks of that icon and the fact that you can't find it under Recipient Config --> Mailbox, I'd say it's a Public Folder with a calendar bolted on. Hence why you can't see it in the aforementioned location.

                                    Go to Toolbox --> Public Folder Management Console. Have a look there for it.

                                    Give that link a go and if that doesn't help, we'll move on to plan B.

                                        @nadnerB YOU ARE MY HERO! Sure as anything, it was a public folder with a calendar attached to it. I added the user as a Publishing Editor, which should give him all the permissions he needs, and I think we're good! Thanks a bunch!

                                          Btw, @nadnerB, it wasn't until tonight that I realized there was a second n in your username. I had been under the impression it was "naderB" this whole time. LOL

                                            11 hours too late, but it sounds like you guys had it sussed back @nadnerB called it as a public folder + calendar. It probably would have taken me a little while to get to that point as well, since I don't do a lot with PS in Exchange (we have a very low volatility environment here) lately.
