How to View published shared calendar more than 6 months ahead

Question

My shared Outlook 365 calendars only show the next 6 months even though there's data for the whole of 2024 entered. I have seen a thread that talks about entering commands in the Outlook Power Shell but I suspect this is way beyond normal user territory. Is there a straigtforward way to make Outlook shared calendar behave as expected? i.e. show the data that's been entered.

Answer 1

Hi @Peglets Web Services ,

By default, the published calendar will show events for 6 months. If you want to change the value to a longer period, please contact your Office 365 admins and run the following PowerShell commands:

1. Connect to Exchange Online PowerShell.
2. Run the following command:

Set-MailboxCalendarFolder -Identity ******@domain.com:\Calendar –PublishEnabled $true -PublishDateRangeFrom SixMonths -PublishDateRangeTo OneYear

You can see this article for reference: Set-MailboxCalendarFolder.

For end user, if you want to share a specific range of time on your calendar, you can follow these steps in this article: Send an Outlook calendar in an email message

Answer 2

My answer is that the PowerShell command while syntaxy correct and documented for Set-MailboxCalendarFolder, does nothing when it comes to change PublishDateRangeTo for a published calendar in Microsoft 365.
generated links for ics and html integration is still stack to the default | hard coded ? value of 6 months.

why not test stuff thoroughly before publishing docs and if there are limitation or exceptions, document properly and include interactive warning at the console. at the moment this does nothing silently. and so outlook integration for ics and htm calendar is useless for my use case. YO !!

Unless I miss something ? anyone ?

Hi Olivier

It worked for me. But I had to remove the calendar and add it again before it worked.
