Create Lync Response Group Holiday Sets

I have built a script to create holiday sets for Lync Response Groups and apply them. Its a pretty manual process gathering all the holidays for a particular year and entering those details in to the script. If your Lync deployment happens to be in New Zealand then I have already done the hard work for you for 2014 :)

Set your Lync pool:

I have split the script in to 2 sections - The first section creates the holidays and the second applies the holidays to a specified response group:

I have split national holidays and regional holidays so you will need to specify which regional holiday you want to apply to a response group in addition to the national holidays:

Its pretty crude and I do hope to make it a little more automated in the future.
