Hi LeonPavesic 

 

Are you using Exchange Online? It's already possible there

I am not a big Fan of giving a ServiceAccount / ServicePrinciple Access to all the Calendars only to copy some Appointments from one Calendar to another.

And it's complex too:

- Changes of Appointments in the Source Calendar have to be tracked (move or delete)

- You need to take into account Appointment Series

 

If it's a small Number of Team Members is it not faster to just look at theyr Calendar?

If it is a big Number of Team Members the Shared Calendar will get messy and it will not be easy to figure out who is working from Home and not.

 

Kind Regards

Andres

    Hi Andres-Bohren,

    thank you for your input and the link to the Exchange Online blog. I agree with your concerns about using a Service Account/Service Principle with broad calendar access.

    I initially also suggested using work hours as a potential solution, but the management team want to have a shared calender with automation.

    Do you perhaps have a solution (or a reference) how to achieve this?

    Kindest regards

    Leon
