I wrote a calendar sync script for Outlook to sync calendars between Exchange accounts. If you need to sync your calendars, accounts should be in same Outlook profile. I didn’t figure out how to sync between different profiles yet, but will work on it.

Every time you execute the script, it checks the duplicate entries. So you can’t sync if same appointment is also exist on other calendar. Also I thought to sync only new appointments, so there is a date checker too. You can change it if you want to sync all time appointments.
