Hi
We have just completed our migration from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007.
We are now stuck without a central Out of Office Administration Tool (for when people call in sick to say they won't be in the office and the Helpdesk set the Out of OFfice on their behalf) as we are not permitted to allow Helpdesk to see all Mailboxes. I've also been emailing Symprexabout an updated version of their tool but no release date is forthcoming.
Is there anything Microsoft can do to provide a tool to centrally administer each individuals' Out of Office.
Further, a nightly or weekly reset of the Out of Office (i.e. toggled off and back on again) so senders will at leastr get an Out of Office once per day would be advantageous given the three week holiday scenario and someone forgets they had an Out of ofice two and a half weeks ago.
