Is it possible to ammend the out of office assistant by:

  • Thread starter Thread starter Mike Hudson
  • Start date Start date
M

Mike Hudson

Checking the calendar using VBA for current appointments,

If the appointment is flagged as being out of the office then enable the
assitant, equally if the person is in, then disable the assistant.

This could also be a VB App..

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
 
Thanks for your reply!

I have ammended the code you gave to be client side.It seems to work.Apart
from the part that sets the oofa to enabled.

But I am working on that.

I would much rather keep it client side then mess about witht the server!

Thanks again!
 
Sorry, I'm not sure about that. It probably can be done and work in Exchange
2003 but I don't run it here so I can't test and see how to change the steps
that were created for Exchange 5.5 for Exchange 2003.

I'd suggest describing the problem and posting the question in an Exchange
newsgroup. The guys there are more likely to know how to modify the steps
for Exchange 2003.
 
Hi Ken,

thanx for your response ...
ok, I did already ask at the exchange newsgoup ... but as they told
they do that task by an administrators account (with full access)...

I would like to have a more handy way because I have to do that not
only sometimes AND I'am not admin but organizing teams. Do you know
another handy way? Doing via Cal.Item would be perfect

Going through 'http://www.cdolive.com/outofofficecalendar.htm'...
To create the mailbox start the Microsoft Exchange admin program
and add a new recipient called 'OOFAdmin'. Associate the Microsoft
Exchange Server Service account to this mailbox, to make sure
Click to expand...

I get confused about "Associate the MicrosoftExchange Server
Service account to this mailbox". How can I do that at MSX.2k3 ?

thanx Michael
 
Again, I don't run Exchange 2003 here so I can't answer that question for
you.

I'd suggest posting questions like that not in an Exchange admin group but
in a development group like microsoft.public.exchange.development. The
Exchange developers there would know how to do what you want and if you're
lucky Sig Weber (the Exchange MVP who wrote the code you're trying to
modify) will see your post and respond. Sig does run Exchange 2003 so he'd
definitely know what to do.
