Exchange 2003 Enterprise Auto reply


Outlook, Exchange 2003, Auto reply

Good morning,

I was wondering if it was possible to set up an auto reply for messages sent to a particular mailbox? Id like to set this up on the server as i want it to happen all the time not just when outlook on the client is running.

Can this be done without third party software?

And if i need third party software can you recomend any?

Sorry lots of questions at once.

Thanks

Can do this by simply running the Out of Office Assistant.
Enter the message you would like displayed and turn it on.

You will get a message when starting Outlook asking if you would like this turned off but this may not a problem to you.

You can also setup a rule within outlook. A reply rule should run serverside so it should run weather the client is open or not.

According to Slipstick.com: “Another reply method available only with Exchange Server is a server-side script on the mailbox’s Inbox folder. See Automatic Message Responding Script for a sample script.”

as an added note it is easier for the administrator if he educates the users on how to follow Nmeddick’s steps above. if someone is going to be out of the office they should run the Out of Office Assistant to setup their own message. The administrator should not have to do that for them. If it is an autoreply that should be sent to all emails all of the time no matter if the user is in the office or not then you could do it on the server side.
