Cannot import ICS into Exchange calendar
I am unable to import ICS invitations into my Exchange calendar, even if they are sent by other users in my organization. I get an error dialog box that says:
Cannot receive calendar objects: Cannot find user "ttabi@nvidia.com" between attendees
I can import the ICS into my local calendar, but then when I try to move it to my Exchange calendar, I get a similar error message:
Cannot create calendar object: Cannot create meetings organized by other users in an Exchange Web Services calendar.
If I open the ICS file on my Windows PC, I can import it into Microsoft Outlook without any problems.
I'm hesitant to upload the original ICS as it's an internal meeting invitation, but here is the header with some names redacted:
