Hi, As we're using 2K3 it seems we can use Exchange System Manager in that case. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa995785(v=exchg.65).aspx The download for Vista is here, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa995785(v=exchg.65).aspx I have managed to fudge it for Windows 7 by using this Sys Admin's guide here, http://ptihosting.com/blog/it-blog/how-to-install-exchange-system-manager-on... I had to change the switch from /qb to -qb to get it to install. The thing is now, I've no idea where the Exchange snapshot would be located. Exchange isnt' showing up under the 31 Admin Tools I have under Remote Tools in the start menu.

I've saved these. The meeting hasn't taken place yet. I've just gotten a request to set a user's Out Of Office. How our Net Admin normally does this is RDP into Exchange. I don't' currently have any RDP licences for JAWS. Is there another way I can do this from my own computer? I'm trying to find a solution before I speak to my Manager. I'd rather bring him a solution than leave it in his hands to work out. I am being promised as soon as the Net Admin gets back I will be granted Administrator privileges. We do have Spiceworks installed on our servers, and I've found this article on how I can do it through there. http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/1044-modify-outlook-exchange -out-of-office-reply-for-another-user How would the rest of you Sys Admins go about this?
