Also, disabling auto-forward will not affect my BES server right??? No it wont. BES doesn't auto-forard the way you thought it does. It got it own agents and BES roles which do this. If you want to control from the client, then as mentioned in my 1st post, disabled the controls which allow users to use this.Sukh

I've been asked to remove automatic replies or forwards from my users inbox. The easiest would be if i had a GPO to go into OUtlook and not allow them to see the rules options or create rules? Does this exists? If not.. On my exchange server, i can uncheck Allow Auto Replies and Allow auto forwards. This would for sure end the auto forward rules im having but i do not want it server wide. I have directors whom have 2 accounts and still need to allow auto redirection for them. So...i'm in a pickle.. How would i stop users from autoforward email and allow others? If the redirection rule is created in exchange? would that still work? Advice please.

If the redirection rule is created in exchange? would that still work? Are you trying to stop the use of auto-forward and auto-reply to addresses outside your organization? Or are you concerned with internal ues, too? Have a look at the "Internet Message Formats" container and the "Default" object. You can stop those auto-* messages from leaving your organization by clearing the check boxes. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Best scenario would be to take the options out of outlook so users cant create the rule and then i can keep the functionality when needed. I like your option for Auto* but after thinking about it, i still need to keep auto-replys because of some mail-in mailboxes. Auto-forward i would love to remove but at the user level. auto forward disabled from both internal and external.

Also, disabling auto-forward will not affect my BES server right???

Then you should be asking this question in the Outlook forum. Exchange just acts on what Outlook tells it. >I like your option for Auto* but after thinking about it, i still need to keep auto-replys because of some mail-in mailboxes. Auto-forward i would love to remove but at the user level. Why? Are they auto-forwarding to external addresses? Are they auto-replying? Both are bad practives since both of them will (notice I didn't can "might") cause mail loops. >auto forward disabled from both internal and external. You can't stop Excnage fro auto-forwarding or auto-replying inside your organization. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
