We are setting up an Exchange 2010 server. I would like to be able to configure defaults for Automatic Replies options. Specifically, I want the "My Contacts only" option to be the default option when setting up an Automatic Reply to outside the organization. Can I enforce this in the Exchange server configuration?

I think you are looking for an option to setuip default values for client's Outlooks so in this case I think Office 2010 (or whatever version of Office you have) Administrative Templates are more approperiate. Have a look here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg490629.aspx You have to download admx files and create GPO to setup options you want An example of disabling archiving settings in Office 2007 (different setting but similar concept) is on my blog: http://www.projectenvision.com/blog/Disable-Archiving-Options-in-Outlook-2007-Using-GPOWith kind regards Krystian Zieja http://www.projectenvision.com Follow me on twitter My Blog Need help with your systems?

Thank you. I do have the Outlook 2010 GPO templates, but it seems quite limited for the Automatic Replies feature. I will take my question to the Office forum.
