Product Description:

Synchronize your events and tasks, book people or resources for meetings, respond to meeting requests, view Free/Busy time and much, much more. All with no need to install additional software on your Exchange server.
What's new in this version:
Groupcal 3.15 (2006-04-06-1) released on 2006-04-06
There are significant changes in version 3.15 that should help in numerous situations:
- fixed a problem where Exchange events, once sync'd to iCal, would loose their busy status and private attribute—events will now have the private attribute/busy status as a prefix/suffix (respectively) to the event summary in iCal (as was done in Groupcal 2)
- the full task status from Exchange is now being maintained, although iCal will only show the "Completed" status and only allows the status on a task to be set to "Completed" or "not"; i.e., the checkbox was checked or unchecked (however, the statuses not shown by iCal are defined in the specification so, presumably, will be shown in iCal at some point)
- extended Groupcal's state-management model to fix a problem where Groupcal's sync services registry could get out of sync with sync services ... this should prevent duplicate records and data loss in certain cases where preference files are deleted or corrupted (although this may cause some deleted records to reappear, this is much preferred over data loss)
- fixed problems causing categories to be lost in the "round trip" of an event/task from Exchange->iCal->Exchange
- fixed problems that prevented the Event/Task summary prefix/suffixes for Exchange info from working in Groupcal 3
- fixed a problem where Groupcal's main window wasn't remembering its position

Anyone knows of an alternative ? - Version: 3.94, 5/22/2008 08:05AM PST

After a few months of usage - when there are more than just a few occurrences to sync - it takes forever (easily 20 minutes or more). But of course that if I'll disconnect the laptop from the net, the entire sync will be destroyed .... So if anyone knows of an alternative (that supports 10.5 at times when Apple thinks of 10.6 already), PLEASE let me know.

No dates on KB articles (convenient for them)
Stated Q1-08 Leopard support and no word yet as of 3/14/08
Stated Exchange 2007 support possible Q4-07 and no word yet
As bad as we need Exchange support this company looks to be a bad idea to deal with.

As Groupcal screwed my settings for the fourth time in the last 4 months (including duplicating iCal calendars), and again I had to use the annoying menus to set up the synchronization protocol (I have snapshots of the settings since there is no way to backup these), now I have time to write down this review (I hope that this time Groupcal will not duplicate events on the server, as my secretary is already annoyed with me using a Mac). I read Groupcal whining about Apple’s 10.5 (not too convincing), but this might give them opportunity to fix basic bugs, one such is to postpone logout or restart when Gropucal is synching. I don’t really blame Groupcal, its the company’s poor choice of MS exchange server that makes our life difficult (Windows user too). My recommendation below is "don't use the product if you don't have too", but there's no competition ...
