I have the problem with Exchange 2007 and Office 2003 users that when they set their OOF from OWA 2007, the OOF message does one of 2 things:
1.) All external users get the latest OOF and internal users get *both* the external (correct) and the last OOF (incorrect old one)
2.) All internal users get the last (old) OOF and internal users get both the correct and incorrect OOF.
I try mdb viewer to manually delete and recreate the OOF rules, but exchange re-creates with the same erroneous OOF behaviors. Has anyone seen something like this? I can't understand why exchange would ever send out 2 OOF messages, and users don't have any rules.
