Hi,

We have over 500 people working with outlook every day and recieving tons of
mail. The out of office is also used almost daily for most people.. when
they've gone home or when they stay home 1 day/week..

We're currently working with Exchange 2003 but we are moving to Exchange
2007 any time now... but my biggest wish didn't come through i think..

I would like to set up out of office to automaticly activate when i.e.
- every day from 5pm till 8am
- every friday
- from friday 7pm till monday 8am

From what i hear this is STILL not possible in outlook/exchange 2007!

Can anyone confirm this? Does anybody know of an external tool to set this up?

Best regards,
Tiele
 
It's not quite that good, but you can set the OOF ahead of time - ie, you
can set it each morning to run from 5pm to 8am (needs set daily), then Thurs
morn you can set it for 5 pm thurs - 8 am monday. You won't need to remember
to turn it off.

FWIW, its usually not necessary to set it for nights and weekends since
those aren't traditional business hours, only when the time off is during
the traditional business week.
