Importing Holidays automatically (OL2002)

[Gamharter, Peter]

Hi!

Is there any possibillity to import the holiday file information into
outlook via script, policy, command line switch...?

In our company we work with outlook 2002 with different service pack levels.

The holiday information ends with 2005 and manually removing old holiday
entries and importing new items means a lot of work. (we speak about 4500
mailboxes and 8000 users...).

Thanxs for your answers!
Peter

PS: It would be nice if holiday items would be shown in a color and marked
as boiled in the monthly overview window equal to appointments on the left
and not as free but as "busy" or "out of office" in the calendar overview it
self. Is there any possibility to change this behavior generally???
