What's an easy way to import holidays into all my Outlook 2010 users Calendars?
Is there an automated software to import holidays into all my Outlook 2010 users Calendars? Why have an Outlook 2010 environment and Exchange 2010

There is no built-in way of doing this. I can do it with a bit of scripting. If that's an acceptable solution, then I can provide the script and instructions on how to use it.

check this URL out, also note that the author did mention some issues he has had to face with this method. test it out before rolling it out. Or like in the post above, a script would be another option.
gud luck. .

BlueDevilFan if i am definitely open to your script. I have already planned to use the link that JunaidIT provided http://blogs.msexchange.org/walther/2011/07/14/centrally-adding-location-specific-holidays-to-exchange-2010-calendars/ if all else fails but if your script automates it so to say i am open to that. Thanks for your responses

Also if i did want to add permission in the script where would i add that at?

No worries. What kind of permission are we talking about?

For example if the person I delegate to update the holiday calendar and other company info doesn't have calendar permissions company wide. Can the script be configured to run with added permissions for an account that has company wide calendar rights for everyone in my Exchange organization? If not its no biggie

The holiday file is just that, a file. There aren't any permissions involved (i.e. Outlook has no provision for permissions when it comes to adding holidays). I don't know what "other company info" means in this context. The script just automates the process of adding holidays, it doesn't deal with any other kind of information. You could of course place the holiday file and/or the script in a location that's protected by file/folder permissions and control who can update it the file and/or run the script. That has nothing to do with Outlook though.
