Powershell example of what I’d be looking for:
# Create a new Outlook application object
$outlook = New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application# Get the MAPI namespace
$namespace = $outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")# Access the Calendar folder

$appointment = $calendar.Items.Add(1) # 1 denotes an appointment item# Set properties for the appointment
$appointment.Subject = "Team Meeting"
$appointment.Start = [datetime]"2024-09-04 09:00"
$appointment.End = [datetime]"2024-09-04 10:00"
$appointment.Body = "Discuss project milestones."
