Exchange calendar from SQL

[timtom]

Is anyone aware of any tools or utilities that can push or pull calendar information (i.e timetables) into Exchange (2010) calendars?

 

I've found a couple of small utilities that may or may not work. Otherwise I suspect it'll be configuring a very specific SQL view and running overnight export from SQL then an import/update in Exchange that will probably break every time we change service pack.

 

But before I start on that headache of a plan does anyone know of a fantastic application that will do the job?

 

Thankyou!

Whats the specific need for this, who has asked for it?

 

Seems like a big task!

Slightly confused, Calendar information into Exchange. As in Office Calendar? Gmail? etc etc? You say i.e Timetables but I'm unsure of your platform?

If it is SQL, I'm not sure why it would take all night.

Er maybe I missed a couple of words. I mean pull staff and student timetable information from our management information in a SQL database and use it to populate Exchange calendars

I think you can pull into an MS SQL file and use that (Don't hold me to that).

 

This could be of some use:

Which MIS are you?

 

There's a SIMS to Exchange timetable app on here somewhere; I followed it for a few days but we have a custom implementation already so haven't actually used it.

Thanks Peter - Corero

Bradlys - I've been looking at that but their subscription model is incredibly expensive. I'm hoping either to custom build something or work on Corero for a module...

 

It's a back-burner project!
