How to get the ICS of shared mailbox
Dear all,
Does anyone know how to share an calendar and get the ICS address for a shared mailbox calendar?
I have tried the steps to share a calendar and it seems to only work for my own calendar even tho I have full admin rights, also I cannot login to the shared mailbox calendar since the shared mailbox does not have an office 365 license.
- Exchange online powershell: try the following I think it should work on Shared mailbox by turning on publishing and then getting the URL to use.
Run Set-MailboxCalendarFolder <Username>:\Calendar -PublishEnabled $true
Run Get-MailboxCalendarFolder <Username>:\Calendar |fl or Get-MailboxCalendarFolder <Username>:\calendar |fl publishedcalendarurl. This will output the published calendar html (and ics) urls. Others can use this url to view the publisher’s calendar.

Hello - sorry to daisy chain off this conversation but I'm getting a "permission denied" when I try to start a new discussion.
I'm trying to create an ICS file from a shared mailbox. It works fine, however all of the formatting is lost from the original Appointment in the ICS file.
I've attached a screen shot of the original appointment which contains the desired formatting as well as the ICS file that is created which loses the formatting.
Thanks for any help!
Hi Peter,
For the second question, no, you cannot login as a shared mailbox. The shared mailbox does not need a license, but the user who is accessing the mailbox must have a license.
