Out-of-Office Assistant not being set
The Out-of-Office Assistant status is not reflected in Microsoft Outlook
When an Extension Location is changed, if the Sync Out of Office option is enabled for the Location then the Out-of-Office Assistant will be set to an appropriate status:
Location |
Status |
Office, Queue |
Off |
Any other Location |
On |
You can inspect the ExchInt Log file for details of the status change. For example:
07:57:19.030 [1] Setting Out of Office Assistant OFF for Mailbox "Tony.Hartigan"
07:57:22.004 [1] Done.
However, the status change may not necessarily be reflected in the users' Out-of-Office Assistant dialog in Microsoft Outlook. If you close down and restart Outlook and the Out-of-Office Assistant is switched ON you will see a message asking whether it should be turned OFF.
Note: Manually setting the Out-of-Office Assistant OFF using Outlook will not return the Extension Location to Office/Queue.
