About ics attachment file TMS/TMSXE

[ChristopheM]

Hello,

Deploying TMS/TMSXE solution, I would know if we could receive invitation to calendar Outlook?

At the moment, my Customer receives just a notification mail in the mailbox, and wishes to receive directly an entry to Outlook calendar.

In TMS deployment guide, it could be possible to receive an ics file, but as my customer uses TMSXE (with Outlook 2010) to book some rooms, it seems that it's not possible, is it right?

Otherwise is it possibe to forward a mail to calendar automatically (ie by a script) please?

Outlook/Exchange version : 2010

TMS version : 15.6.1

TMSXE version : 5.5

Thanks.

Christophe

With TMSXE, you would book the meeting by using a calendar meeting invite, so it will not be an email with .ics attachments, it will be a standard meeting invitation just like you get with a non video/Webex meeting. 

When you create the meeting, you will "invite" the room(s) you want to book in addition to the users, and TMS will push the meeting information to the endpoints (if you are configured for one button to push)

TMS and XE process works today with organizer sending invite including some conference rooms with video endpoints configured in XE, who sends the invite to participants....the invite sent does not include how too join info...TMS then schedules the meeting and sends the organizer email with confirmation of meeting and how to join info...the Email received includes an ICS. The Organizer can copy/paste how to join into the original invite and resend or open the ICS add participants and send. This is how TMS & XE scheduling works today. Some enhancements to this is planned later this CY, can not go into details in this public space.

How do you edit the ics attachment? the Join using Skype for Business: hyperlink has "sip://XXXX@myco.com" so with the "sip://" the link doesn't work unless you manually remove it before forwarding the invite.
