If you're dealing with Exchange, look up Exchange web services (EWS). It's quite powerful.

From Considerations for server-side Automation of Office: Current licensing guidelines prevent Office applications from being used on a server to service client requests, unless those clients themselves have licensed copies of Office.

So you not only need to have it on server, you need to make sure your clients have Office too. And whose tasks/calender you plan to post to? There isn't a user profile in service.
