I am running 10.2.8 server and 25 clients.  I have subscribed to a free
ICAL server page and set up some information that I want to share with
my users.  Users log in from client and get there desktop.  Is there a
universal place to copy the ICAl.ics file to the server or client?

The solution I have is to log in every user, one at a time, on each
computer, place the ical file in the /library/calenders folder and BAM,
they can now see it.  I have 90 users on 25 machines and that is a
whole lot of typing.

When a user logs in their home directory, it only contains a Desktop
and Library folder.  These are stored somewhere that I can not find on
the users workstation.  I could replace the file quickly as admin/root
if I knew where this is being stored on the client.  The Users folder
on the client only list the Admin and a shared folder that does not
affect Ical on the client.

I have also tried putting it on the server in the users home directory
at  /Users/name/Library/Calendars and still no luck.  The file is
there, ownership, and permissions are correct.  Any suggestions are
welcome and gladly accepted on forcing an Ical.ics file.
