I run Entourage on both my laptop and iMac at work.  When I assign categories to items on my calendar from one computer they do not show up on the other.  We are running an Exchange 2003 server.

It's an unfortunate limitation of Entourage's Exchange Server compatibility that category information is not synchronized to the server and is thus not viewable when accessing your Exchange account via other methods.

Be sure to send this feature request to Microsoft.  In Entourage X or 2004, go to Help > Send Feedback on Entourage.  Otherwise, click on this direct link to enter Mac Product Feedback:

Well as Mickey mentioned, this is not natively supported.
I use a workaround for that. I have an AppleScript that copies
category names and pastes it in the Notes field and then another one
to do the opposite. The Notes sync through Exchange (and SyncServices)
so I can use this trick to get the categories to go accross.
You can find the scripts here:

Hi Bennett!

Unfortunately, Entourage does not sync categories to Exchange.
