In all other cases, parameters on the DESCRIPTION property are ignored.

The specification states that the DESCRIPTION property can be specified within the VEVENT, VTODO, VJOURNAL, or VALARM components, and may be specified multiple times in a VJOURNAL component.

Microsoft Exchange can export at most one DESCRIPTION property on a VEVENT component. Microsoft Exchange exports exactly one DESCRIPTION property on a VALARM component, and the value is "Reminder". Microsoft Exchange does not export a DESCRIPTION property for any component other than a VEVENT or VALARM.

On import, if multiple DESCRIPTION properties are present in a VEVENT component, Microsoft Exchange ignores all but the first. Microsoft Exchange ignores DESCRIPTION properties on any component other than a VEVENT.
