The first Embed should be your calendar code set to the Month view. The second Embed should be your calendar code set to the Agenda view.

C:\>ping wpad Ping request could not find host wpad. Please check the name and try again. C:\>nslookup wpad <DNSServer1> Server: <DNSServer1>.domain.net Address: <IPofDNSServer1> *** <DNSServer1>.domain.net can't find wpad: Non-existent domain This of course, is a big problem. It took a little investigating, but I found the cause. Windows Server 2008 introduced a new feature, called "Global Query Block list", which prevents some arbitrary machine from registering the DNS name of WPAD. This is a good security feature, as it prevents someone from just joining your network, and setting himsel
