Hi LasseF, As above said, OOF only reply for the same user once unless you turn it off and turn it on per day. If you really need to do this, you can write a PowerShell script of turn off\on the OOF and schedule it to run once every day :) Here is a similar thread, but I don't test the script in it, you can have a try. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchange2010/thread/341ae494-9775-4607-b037-9805cbc3a3ef Jack Zhou

Hi Mads I have added the EWS Managed API and can now use the Get-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration and Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration. I have run the following: Get-Mailbox | Get-EWSOofSettings | ?{$_.state -eq "Enabled"} | select identity, state I get the users with OOF enabled but I also get quite alot of these: Exception calling "GetUserOofSettings" with "1" argument(s): "Microsoft.Exchang e.Data.Storage.AccessDeniedException: User is not mailbox owner. User = S-1-5-2 1-725345543-1284227242-682003330-500, MailboxGuid = S-1-5-21-725345543-12842272 42-682003330-3619 ---> User is not mailbox owner.

As far as I can see the above error message doesn't do anything. I get the list with the users that have OOF enabled. Now I need to make a PS script that will check which users have OOF enabled and then disable it and enable it, but can't quit figure out how to do it yet, but I am sure that I will find a solution :-)/Lasse

Hi LasseF, Thanks for your update. I have a test on the script in the link and it works. After I run the ps script, I can receive the OOF reply again. You can have a try. Here is the script: $enabled = get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited |get-mailboxautoreplyconfiguration | where {$_.autoreplystate -eq "enabled"} | select identity,autoreplystate $enabled | foreach-object { set-mailboxautoreplyconfiguration $_.identity -autoreplystate "Disabled" set-mailboxautoreplyconfiguration $_.identity -autoreplystate $_.autoreplystate } If it works, you can save the script as PS1 file and schedule to run the PS1 file one time a day to achieve your goal.

Hi Jack, I found the solution yesterday. We are running Exchange 2007 SP3 so had to install the EWS API and add the function Get-EWSOofSettings. It works, but I still get the error messages that I posted earlier. I was just worried that I was missing some users with OOF enabled. $enabled = get-mailbox -resultsize unlimited | Get-EWSOofSettings | where {$_.state -eq "Enabled"} | select identity,state $enabled | foreach-object { Set-EWSOofSettings -Identity $_.identity -State disabled Set-EWSOofSettings -Identity $_.identity -State enabled } /Lasse
