Out of office rules not reaching exchange?

[ben.bodien]

Hello,

I'm running Exchange Server 2003 SP2, with Outlook 2003 SP2 on the
clients. When I set an out of office assistant up in Outlook, out of
office emails are only generated while Outlook is still running. As
soon as I close it, no out of office emails are sent.

However if I use Outlook Web Access and set up out of office, then the
out of office auto reply messages are generated as per normal by
Exchange.

I have got all the "Allow x" checkboxes checked in the Internet Message
Format.

Is it possible that something is preventing Outlook from creating the
rules in Exchange?

If you turn it on in Outlook does the change reflect to OWA?
Note that the OOF only replies once per sender.
