Hello!

Here's the issue: One of our employees is home sick and she'll be away for another month. I'd like to set an automatic reply for her email adress, but is there a way to do it without having access to her account? I know I could reset her pasword and login to Outlook as the right user, but that's somewhat against our policy. We're using Exchange 2000 and Office 2003.

Isn't there somewhere an admin function that allows me to do this? If there isn't, there damn sure should be...

If you use Outlook with an Exchange server, you can set up an out of office auto-reply on the exchange server:

Select Tools > Out of Office Assistant from the menu.

Type a short message under AutoReply only once to each sender with the following text:.
Click OK.
