Out of office reply not working

[Guest]

I have two users that do not send an automatic out of office reply internal
or external. This has happened after the install of Exchange 2003 server and
mailbox move from Exchange 2000 to a new Windows 2003 enterprise server with
Outlook 2000 client. I had to set up a rule to work-a-round! I would like to
get the auto reply to work again...Any Ideas???

Have you tried deleting, restarting the PC, and then creating a fresh Outlook
profile for one of the users to see if that works?

 

[Guest]

Yes, I have deleted the profile, restarted the machine and recreated it with
no luck.

Can Out of Office be set in OWA? Have you tried removing and readding the
Exchange extensions?

 

[Guest]

It will not work through OWA either and I did remove extension and re-install
them. No Luck!

Can you set up the user's profile on a different PC and does it work there?

 

[Guest]

You make a good point ...It must be a problem in Exchange 2003 for these
users as oor works for different accounts from the same machine. It has to
be Exchange 2003 causing the problem. I wonder if having the OOA on when the
migrate to exchange 2003 from exchange 2000, would have a bearing on this
problem?

That's likely best asked in an Exchange admin newsgroup. It could depend on
how the migration was done, what method was used (swing, etc.).
You could also try deleting the NTUSER.dat file and recreate the NT profile
for that user on the PC to see if that helps.
