DTOO285 - Internet calendar integration in Outlook must be disabled.

Information

The Internet Calendar feature in Outlook enables users to publish calendars online (using the webcal:// protocol) and subscribe to calendars that others have published. When users subscribe to an Internet calendar, Outlook queries the calendar at regular intervals and downloads any changes as they are posted.
By default, Outlook allows users to subscribe to Internet calendars. When an organization has policies that govern the use of external resources such as Internet calendars, this feature will enable users to violate those policies.

Solution

Set the policy value for User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Outlook 2013 -> Account Settings -> Internet Calendars 'Do not include Internet Calendar integration in Outlook' to 'Enabled'.
