Thanks for the reply. I can ping the GC server from the computer that is running evolution. My computer and the GC server are both inside of the only firewall that I know of, but the GC server is inaccessible from outside my company's network. I've been able to search the global catalog address book, so that seems to be working. I can also access my own calendar on the exchange server.
I also tried substituting the GC server name for the IP address, and nothing changed, so I haven't been able to reproduce Bill's behavior. I'm not at all familiar with the Exchange architecture, but I've been able to figure out that there are at least three servers involved so far: the exchange server (that the Outlook client connects to), the webmail server (which Evolution uses), and the GC/GAL server that holds the master contact list. Is there yet another server involved in subscribing to another user's calendar? If there is, is there a way for me to figure out what that server is using Outlook or Evolution?

Hi Tom, Can you access your GC server from outside firewall? Evolution gets the required domain/host info from the GC server and then tries to connect to it using the host name. If the host-name doesn't get resolved, it shows "Generic Error". Check your DNS setup or add that ip/host-name to your /etc/hosts file and then try subscribing to other user's folder/calendar.
