Live@edu bulk subscribe to ical calendar

[robk]

I am sure I have seen powershell code to add a subscription to a shared calendar, However, now I need to do it I can't find the details!

 

Can anyone share the powershell code to add a ical subscription to a users mailbox? I dont want to have to do 1400 manually!

 

Thanks

Is this a Google/Apple calendar or one that exists inside Exchange?

Is this the one?

Not sure if you can with Live@Edu but customising this XML

Outlook Web App User Interface Customization XML Elements

may let you add an icon on the main bar pointing to the required URL.

@GrumbleDook unfortunately not. We have done that stage. @SYNACK We have a Apple style ical file published on our webserver, so I need to programmatically subscribe users to the correct ical file accessed via http. I can do it manually, but of course with that sort of number I don`t want to have to do it for every person that way!

Anyone have any other suggestions? Starting to panic....

More of a hack but can you use wireshark or an internet packet moniter the http post/get commands that are sent when a user does it manually from OWA then use my above hack to make it a single click operation for users or hack the template to do an onload javascript that triggers the same action. Probably not an option on Live@Edu as I think that all that is locked down but might be worth investigating. I looked through all the powershell cmdlets and could not find any that would add a calendar automatically for a bunch of users. Even the SDK was remarkably unhelpful.

Here's the app I was thinking of: Fiddler Web Debugger - A free web debugging tool very handy for development involving web stuff.
