Maybe a stupid question, but has this worked before, or are you using
the calendar publishing for the first time?

We are using the Publishing Calendar for years but not very often and just 4 or 5 users. I am honest i can´t remember if this worked before....

Yeah, I ask because I have only tried the calendar publiching host twice
myself over the years, and it has never worked for me, failing in
exactly the same way as yours. So maybe it's SR time?

Hi,

before you open an SR, check that all communication works correctly.

Calpub works nice for us and even with the updates - on 14 SP2 and 14 R2.
The one important thing to get it working is that the POA needs to be able to access and trigger calpubhost. If you set the POA logging to verbose then you'll see it tries to register users and periodically triggers updates. Here an example from my server, just checking and changing the published calender several times (redacted):
07:59:13 66D8 Http Client Call /gwcal/poamsg/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX?action=Cache.FB.refresh&po.id=521d5a279e041445dd5754 to XXXXX publish resulted with rc = 0
07:59:30 66D8 Http Client Call /gwcal/poamsg/bWZhdXN0QG1mbmV0LmNoP2NuPTUyNTMzMzc0Lk1GTkVULlJBUFBJLjEwMC4xMjQyNDI0LjEuREJCQkIuMQ?action=Cache.Calendar.refresh&po.id=521d5a279e041445dd5754 to XXXXX publish resulted with rc = 0
07:59:54 66D8 Http Client Call /gwcal/poamsg/bWZhdXN0QG1mbmV0LmNoP2NuPTUyNTMzMzc0Lk1GTkVULlJBUFBJLjEwMC4xMjQyNDI0LjEuREJCQkIuMQ?action=Cache.Calendar.refresh&po.id=521d5a279e041445dd5754 to XXXXX publish resulted with rc = 0

If you don't see "RC = 0" something is off, the communication does not work and only the calpub host reads the calendars when it is restarted...
In one setup the calpub is in the dmz - so we had to open http and/or https for the POAs to the calpub host - then it worked.
