Delegators and Out Of Office Delegatees

[Wes]

Situation: Manager delegates meeting requests to Secretary. Secretary goes
out of town and turns on Out-Of-Office (OOO) assistant. Customer sends
meeting request to Manager, Customer receives a return notice that the
Secretary is OOO. To make things worse, the Customer does not know who
Secretary is and the OOO response does not reference the Manager information
at all.

Question: How can I set Outlook/Exchange to ignore the OOO settings of a
person granted delegate access (Secretary) to Manager's calendar?

Please let me know if this is not clear.

Thanks,
Wes

You can't. It of course would be nice of the assistant to mention that in
her OOF. After all, she is a delegate to handle the email of the manager.
One would be able to expect a well defined and informative of an assistant.

Another way to go would be for the manager to revoke the delegation of the
meeting requests when the assistant is away. Otherwise nobody will be
responding to the requests (if the assistant is out for a few days).
