To apply these holiday sets to an existing Response Group Service, run the following for each year:

$HolidayHours = Get-CsRgsHolidaySet “service:ApplicationServer:<poolname>” -Name “<Name of Holiday Set>”

$y = Get-CsRgsWorkflow <poolname> -Name “<Name of Response Group>”

$y.HolidaySetIDList.Add($HolidayHours.Identity)

Set-CsRgsWorkflow -Instance $y
