Out of Office does not load - Outlook 2003

[Reginald Tan]

We are having problems with a number of our computers with WinXP - Office
2003. We have Exchange 2003. Every time they try to open the Out of Office
Assistant, they would get a message - "an unspecified error occured" and
say that the system has "insufficient memory".

I am thinking it could be caused by a setting in exchange that is not
compatible with Outlook 2003 since we were able to turn on the Out of Office
Assistant when we loaded their account on Outlook 2000.

Any thoughts?

I think I found a similar article on MS before but our mail admin didn't
want to try it out because it says that it is only for Exchange 5.5 or 2000.

I'll try and see if he'll try it this time and forward this message.

I tried it but it is still giving him the same error. I didn't want to
delete any other rules though. There are a number of Rules there

3 of theses - RuleOrganizer #NET FOLDERS#
Outlook Rules Organizer
Junk E-mail Rule
MSExchange Rules
Messages
Outlook Message Manager

I'm thinking the next step is to try to Delete the RuleOrganizer rules but
I wanted to check here first.

Thanks

Yes, this is the one I forwarded to our mail admin but the support page said
it only affects exchange 5.5. Anyway, we tried it but there are no other
rules that fit the same descriptions in the support page. I think we already
deleted those yesterday but still have the same problem.

I have some idea. Do their accounts need some sort of security privilage to
be able to recreate the Out of Office Rules once deleted? I ask this
because those accounts that are having these problems are only domain users
in our domain but everyone else in our Technology division with the same
setup are not having any problems setting their Out of Office. I'm thinking
since we have higher privilages, we are not experiencing this problem.

Thanks,

No the privilages are for the mailbox owner so unless you tampered with that
the user should still be owner of his own mailbox. Can you configure the
defective mailbox as a separate profile in your Outlook? Are you
experiencing the same issues then?

Setting up their profile on our own computer was what we we're doing to set
up their out of office though if we do this on a computer with Office 2003.
It will give the same message but if done on a machine with Office 2000, it
works properly and the out of office can be set.

Does this also happen
-when the OOF is disabled on an Outlook 2000 machine and then tries to be
enabled on an Outlook 2003 machine?
-for new mailboxes?

We ahrer having the same problem with Outlook 2002 and I found a
Microsoft artical "KB248709" that fixed the problem. Trouble is it
don't work for 2003.

I was having this problem and I exported all rules using the rules
wizard and then used MDBVU32 to delete all rules from the inbox. Close
and reopen outlook and import your rules. It worked on two different
PC's for me.

Have either of you - or anyone else - come across a
solution for this? We are also having this problem, but
it doesn't affect everyone. But the people who are
having the problem have new desktops with a fresh install
of XP wSP1 and Office 2003 Pro. But it doesn't matter if
they (their mailbox) are on Exchange 5.5 or 2003 (I'm
trying to finish up a migration).
