Exchange 2000 Out of Office Assistant 1

[quattro5vt]

I am not able to get an out of office reply from some users, but not others. I am looking in Exchange System admin and Active Dirctory settings, but do not see a common denominator. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks.

go to your exchange system manager, then click on global settings, then click on internet message formats. Go over to the right pane and right click on default, go to properties, click on the advanced tab. Make sure allow out of office replies and allow automatic replies are checked. Hopefully that should solve the problem, it did for our organization.

GaryRumson, that tip was gold. Worked a charm. One thing to remember for future readers is that after you turn on the Out of Office feature, you send an out of office reply to each recipient ONLY ONCE. This kind of inhibited my testing until I figured that part out. For testing switch off the Out of office feature, and then switch it back on so that you recieve a Out of Office reply again.
