Hi I'm trying to change the OOF-message for a user in my organization. Now it seems that i'm not able to do this for each user. For some users there is a link to change their OOF, for other users there is no link to don this. I'm logging in to the ecp-panel as a admin. How is this possible ?

Does your account have full mailbox rights on all users?Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Ho ed, that's the strange thing... I'm a member of the domain admin's, I'm also member of the Exchange organization admin's and even a member of the organization management group. Seems there is no difference between the accessrights i'v on mailbox User A or user B (But on user A there is a link to change his OOF. There is no link to OOF when i manage user B.) When i grant myself full mailbox-rights on a users this make no difference...

hi, What's your exchange version? I guess it is exchange 2010. If you have full access mailbox permission, i think you can set the OOF for him. You can try to use cmd to change/set the OOF message for some users. You can see this bolg to get the cmd.

Hi, i'm using exchange 2010 (version 14.2). I have full access mailbox permissions. When I select manage "my organization" - "another user" the link "tell people you're on vacation" is not available on every user. The link is not visible even when i grant myself full access permission to this users mailbox. I'm a member of the domain admin's, I'm also member of the Exchange organization admin's and even a member of the organization management group.

hi, Have you read the link that i posted? Have you try to use the shell to do this. What's the result? Add your account in these groups and try again. Organization Management Recipient Management Help Desk thanks,CastinLu TechNet Community Support

Hi Castinlu thanks for the link, and that's excactly what im trying to do. When i follow these steps, the link "Tell people you're on vacation" is not availabe for all users. When I'm using (with the same account) to change the OOF using the shell there is no problem. I have just create a new user, member of the Organization Management, Recipient Management and Help Desk,... same result: the link is also for this new user not available on every user. strange...

hi, Since the shell can help you, my suggestion is that you can use the shell to config the OOF first. About the issue that you can't set the oof by using ECP. You can change a browser and try again. I think the premission is not the reason that cause the issue. hope can help you thanks,CastinLu TechNet Community Support

Hi same result if I'm using FireFox or IE (different versions). I will use the shell. strange...
