Exchange OWA Rules

[chilifrei64]

I have a brand new set up network running on SBS 2003.

I set up a "forward to" on 2 of the accounts until they come to America to forward to their current e-mail address. (yes the address is valid) (it wont even work to any of my e-mail addresses)

The rules are not applying.. Infact none of my Exchange 2003 OWA Server Side rules are applying.

Tried as the regular user and as administrator.

The server side rules do not run. I logged into one of my other clients running SBS 2003 and these rules run fine.. I run these rules on many of my other clients with no problem. They even work on my Exchange Server for my network (Exchange Standard on Win2k3 Standard SP1)

It has had a few days now to "Apply itself" so waiting for the rules to run is not an option.

I dont remember any spot to set to "Run Server Side Rules". This has always been something that has just worked for me.. Any ideas.. it works everywhere else i tried it.. (total of 4 other clients running SBS 2003 w/ exchange 2003)

No errors in event logs. All services running (except for imap and pop3... unused)

Any ideas

Uncase anybody is interested.. I have found the solution

AutoForwarders are apparently disabled in Exchange 2003.... someone must of enabled them on my other systems(disadvantage of working for a network firm)

To enable autoforwarders on Exchange 2003:

Open Exchange System Manager -> Global Settings -> Internet Message Format ->

In the right pane... right click default -> select properties -> Click advanced tab -> check "Allow Automatic Forward

Hit apply...

Thats 6 hours of my work.. ended up finding it 7 pages deep in google groups.

Hope this helps someone else
