Question : Adding Outlook Calendar entries from server

I'm wondering if there is a way like creating a distribution group and adding users, then setting up Outlook calendar appointments for the group, which go to each users Outlook calendar?

Alternatively, is there a way to do this directly from the server to each users calendar?

From a 2003/2008 server to Outlook 2007 clients.

Thanks

This should only add one appointment per day.
