Out of Office

Hi Everyone,

A user cannot get the "out of office" notice to work on his Outlook 2003.
It does not send the message to other people despite the fact that it is
turned on according to the following KB:

How to use the Out of Office Assistant in Office Outlook 2003 and in Outlook
2002
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=290846

Any idea please ?

Hi Best,

The OOF assistant only applies to internal users, meaning that the senders
in the same org can receive this OOF notification, but the external senders
will not receive this. This is the default setting in Exchange server
because that sometimes your personal state may be a confidential.

If this is the case, please refer to this KB article to enable external OOF
by using a server rule in Outlook client-side.

Also, we can change the option in Exchange server-side to enable external
OOF notification.
