Out of Office

[OCS1]

Hello,

The scenario:

Exchange 2003 w/ SP2. All users have the Exchange Server to manage internal email as well as shared calendars, contacts. etc. They all also have an SMTP address to handle all external email.

When they go to turn Out of Office assistant on, it will not work unless Outlook remains open while they are gone. Is this the default behavior? If not, how can I fix it?

Are you using mapi to connect the clients?

This is a server based rule not a client one.

On the ESM go to global settings - Internet message settings - then in the right panel you should see Default. Right click - properties - Advanced Tab - make sure Allow OofOffice responses is checked.
