You receive a meeting request that has a "not supported calendar message.ics" attachment in Exchange Server 2016

• User A's mailbox is hosted by Microsoft Exchange Server 2016.
• User B uses the Israel time zone, and sends User A a meeting request that has a customized .ics file added. The meeting request may be sent by using a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) tool, such as Telnet.
• The .ics file may be generated manually by Exchange Server 2013 or by some third-party tools.
• The .ics file contains both RDATE and RRULE properties for DAYLIGHT and STANDARD. You can open the .ics file by using a text editor, such as Notepad, to check the properties.

In this scenario, user A receives a meeting request that has a "not supported calendar message.ics" attachment.

To fix this issue, install Cumulative Update 12 for Exchange Server 2016 or a later cumulative update for Exchange Server 2016.
