Automatic replies for disabled A.D. user
Hello, An employee was let go from my company. He was a domain admin so I took all the precautionary steps (i.e. disabling his account, vpn access, etc) but I need to have an auto reply to his email address. Out of office only seems to work when I have the account enabled. Is there a way I can accomplish while leaving his account disabled ??? Thannks in advance !

What version of Exchange are you using. With Exchange 2007 we will set a rule on the server side in Exchange 2003 it will be a user settingChris cbfive.com

Here are the step to get this working if you have any question please let me know. There is another way to get this done but you will have to create another account so if you don't want to change your global settings let me know and I send send you steps for the other method. 1. Open EMC navigate to Recipient Configuration > Mailbox and highlight the account that you disabled 2. Right click on the disabled account and select Manage Full Access Permissions 3. Add your account to the list of the accounts that have full permissions 4. Now on your Workstation create a new outlook profile for the disabled account 5. Once Outlook opens navigate to Tools > Rules and Alerts 6. Click New Rule > Check messages when they arrive > Next > Yes to prompt > Have server reply using a specific message > click a specific message in Step 2 window > Next > Next > Finish Please remember that you have to make sure that you allow auto reply as a global setting. To check if auto reply is set follow the steps below. In EMC navigate to Remote Domain > bring up the properties of Default > Format of original message sent as attachment to journal report > Allow auto replies My recommendation is disabling the Global Settings configuration (as default) once the transition period ends.
