Out of Office on additional mailboxes

[Guest]

I need to be able to access other peoples mailboxes to set out of office.
Can this be done, if so how?

You full access permissions to their mailboxes and will need to create a
specific profile for each users mailbox and select Outlook to use that
profile when opening. When you open Outlook using the new profile (for each
user) you can set the Out Of Office on their mailbox.

There's another way. You sign on as the user who needs to access other
people's mailboxes, open outlook. Open the exchange account (Tools,
e-mail accounts, View or change, Change the exchange server account).
Click on "more settings", and "advanced". It lets you add additional
mailboxes that open. (They'll have to give you access to them, of
course).

Yes but that won't allow you to change certain mailbox specific settings
like rules or the OOF. For that a mail profile with that mailbox as the main
mailbox will have to be created.

Ok - thanks. Even if the other user has "owner" rights to the mailbox?

You simply can't get to the option for enabling mailbox on a secondary
mailbox. So either do it via a new profile or (if you've got the
permissions) via OWA.
