Hello All,
When I try to set up Out of Office response in Outlook2K7 I get a screen
that is different from the Out Of Office dialog box that has option for "I
am in the office", and "I am out of the office"
You also get a box to put you auto reply message in.
This is not the screen that I see in the Office help to set up Out of Office
replies.
Could someone assit me in setting the auto reply up?
The settings I put in so far do not generate an auto reply when I test mail
to it.

Thanks for any ideas
MMJII

What you get in Outlook 2007 will depend upon your version of Exchange.

It will either look like the first screenshot at if you're running Exchange
2003:

Or the first screenshot at if you're running Exchange 2007:

Also depending upon your version of Exchange, it may not actually send out
to Internet addresses. How are you trying to test?

Thank you for your time & knowledge.
I am using the 1'st Exchange in SBS 2003. I tested by sending an email to
the recipient that I set it up for . My address was an outside internet
address. Does this only work for internal email addreses?

Thanks

That's the default setting for Exchange - your Exchange Admin can change it.
They may take some persuading.....

Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about,
your OS, Service Pack level
and the FULL contents of any error message(s)

Thanks for you time & knowledge.
I change the settings on the Exchange server following these procedures:
1.. Start Exchange System Manager.
2.. Double-click Global Settings, and then click Internet Message Formats.
3.. In the details pane, right-click a domain name, and then click
Properties.

Note By default, "*" is the SMTP domain.
4.. In the Default Properties dialog box, click Advanced, and then click
to select the Allow out of office responses check box.
Then I sent an email to the OOO mailbox, but i have not recieved a response
back. Any ideas?

Thanks

I'm afraid not. I have little or no Exchange knowledge or experience.
You might want to post this in

First, try to see if it works within the Exchange organization. Turn on
Out of Office and have another user on the server mail you and see if they
get the message, that way you're limiting what you're troubleshooting.

Well, Outlook is working then, so you may want to post to the microsoft.public.exchange.admin
newsgroup. I'm going to assume that in Step 3 above, you right clicked on
the * entry?
