I believe you need to pass through an exchange server to use it perhaps? I do not have it at home but i do in the office.
yeah, thats what it said in the help thing, im trying to do it on my computer with no internet, im doing cause my dad wants it where he works, he should have you i guess, what is an exchange server. the reason is the computer tech guy where he works has it and my dad wants it but doesnt want to ask the tech guy cause hes real stuck up and laughs if you dont know something
Yup...and you have to be running Microsoft Exchange as your email server in order to use Out of Office Assistant.
Those out of the office assistants people should be shot. They're only slightly less annoying than those "this e-mail has a virus in it" emails.
ok, im assuming he is running the exchange thing cause the tech support guy does this out of office thing(or whatever its called) how do i do it regardless of what its called, the computer will be on the entire time he is gone. ive read some stuff and the said create a blank message without work as the editor(dont know how to check to see) and the save as template (which isnt an option) there has got to be a way to do it i just dont know how. please help
The tech guy needs to set it up for your dad to use it. Your dad must also be running Microsoft Outlook as his email client.
im using outlook express 6 and it does not contain out of office assistant that i am aware of. but is there a way i can use the message rules to get it to do the same thing
as far as i know the tech guy has outlook express and he uses it. and ive been to that link and searched google but nothing about express
he also has office 2003 (i believe thats the correct year) but he doesnt use it. is there a way he can do it there and have them sent to his outlook express, or something
Please Read this CAREFULLY. For the Out of Office Assistant to work, your mail MUST be managed on a Microsoft Exchange Server and you MUST be using some version of Microsoft Outlook. NOT Outlook Express.
ok, seeing that the tech guy can do it, im assuming that they are using microsoft exchange server. is there a way that we he is gone(his computer will be on) that he can get his messages forwarded to his outlook account and then use the out of office assistant, or give me another way for it to work. and please give a guide to set up an email account in outlool, if he just uses his current email that he has in express in outlook then it should work(i think)
The Exchange Mail Server Administrator must set this up. When a user is "Out of the Office," the Exchange Server will be set up that any messages sent to yourdad@xyz.com should be automatically replied to with a specified message. Your dad's PC does not need to be on for this to work. This is all done on the server. As far as setting up Outlook to send and recieve, it would use the exact same settings as Outlook Express. When you start Outlook for the first time, it gives you the option of importing messages and settings from Outlook Express. BUT for Out of Office Assistant to work, it MUST be set up by the Exchange Mail Server Administrator.
ok, i think this is what i want to do. but i allready started outlook and just cancelled the first messages about the setup. how do i get them back
