Out of Office Assistant 1

[joanneh]

I was wondering if anyone knew if you can set up an out of office message on behalf of a user through active directory or exchange system manager.
A user has gone away for two weeks without setting it up herself and her staff are a bit anxious.

Thanks for any help.

No
You'll have to login to do that.
Depending on you Exchange Policy you may be able to do that on the exchange server using the exch admin domain account and then create a outlook profile using there account name.
You should check the legality of it beforehand, do you have an email policy that allows it and have they signed documents acknowledging it.

choices - change their password. Quick and simple.

Log into a client box as Exchange Admin. Set Outlook to their mailbox. Only works if security is right (i.e. wrong).
