Out-of-office reply in Exchange 2003

[Tel]

In order to setup an out-of-office reply in Outlook you simply go to Tools|Out of office Assistant. But that is not working on my side. It is simply not doing anything.

Is there a setting on the Exchange server that I am missing somewhere?

No worries. Found the solution.

On exchange server you have to make sure that out-of-office replies are allowed. In order to allow this you go to the exchange server | Global Settings | Internet Message formats.

In the details pane right-click the domain name (* by default) and select properties.

Go to Advanced and check the "Allow out of office responses" checkbox.
