Create a recurring appointment in Outlook for the Friday of every month after second Tuesday

I want to create a recurring appointment in Outlook for the Friday of the second Tuesday of each month to schedule server reboots because of Windows updates. Some months the second Friday is not the same week as the second Tuesday. I am not sure if this is even possible to set up within Outlook as the options aren't as advanced as this.

Solution 1:

This is an easy work around from using VBA. Unless you absolutely have to have this in the calendar, it just occurred to me you can use Tasks to do this. If that is OK, keep reading. If it has to be in the calendar, disregard.

Tasks let you set the reminder date and time, where the appointment doesn't.

1. Set up a trecurrencescece of every second Tuesday with the due date of the same.
2. Set the Reminder to the Friday following the due date. Save and close.

Every time you get a reminder for this Task and complete it, it will generate a new one for the following month. I already marked the one for January complete and it generated this one for February. Hope that helps.

Solution 2:

Bit of a cheat, but simply set the appointment for the second Tuesday, but give it a four day reminder so that it prompts you on the Friday before the second Tuesday!
