It is not possible to fully syncronize your DTU Exchange calendar in Thunderbird. We have not found a method where everything works. Instead you can open your calendar in a browser mail.dtu.dk on Linux or use Outlook on Windows and Mac.
You may also use the full Outlook available via DTU's Citrix setup.
