1. What happens if you try to create a simpler rule without any template?<br />
2. What happens if you create a rule for another mail-enabled PF?
</div>


<div>
I am able to create a different rule, a forward instead of a reply rule.
</div>


<div>
I am haveing the same issue using a exch 03 backend and an outlook 07 client. I have granted full permissions. I can create rules using all other options excluding &quot;Reply With&quot;
</div>


<div>
I'm having this same problem. Is there a resolution posted somewhere?<br />

</div>


<div>
Ok. When you create a template, try to change the format of the template to Plain Text and then try to save it.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps

See my comment above. &nbsp;You need to assign Send As Permissions to the user that is going to be creating the rule. &nbsp;The Send As Permissions can only be changed in the Exchange administration console. &nbsp;I have Exchange 2007, so I went to Toolbox, chose Public Folder Console, navigated to the public folder in question (probably under Default Public Folders), then went to the folder I was trying to do this on, and when you right-click, you will see an option for something like &quot;Manage Send As Permissions&quot;. &nbsp; After setting this up, I was able to set up a rule in Outlook without a problem.

I don't get to it the same why you describe b/c I'm running 2003 but I do have full permissions set up in exchange and the &quot;send as&quot; option set for myself, as I'm the one trying to create the rule. (Do I need to have the email set as a user and then give THAT user permission? (Ex: <a href="http://mailto:reply@mycompany.com" rel="ugc">reply@mycompany.com</a> would be set up as user &quot;reply&quot; and &quot;relpy&quot; would have send as permission) <br />
My setup is the same as IT1500 : &nbsp;&quot;I am haveing the same issue using a exch 03 backend and an outlook 07 client. I have granted full permissions. I can create rules using all other options excluding &quot;Reply With&quot;<br />

I am trying to create a rule for a public folder in Exchange 2003, server is running SBS 2003. &nbsp;I would like to create an auto-reply to all incoming messages to the mail-enabled public folder.<br />
<br />
Two different users, two different machines, both users setup as folder owners<br />
<br />
From a Vista Business client, running Outlook 2007 - <br />
When editing the rule, I check the box &quot;reply with&quot; and click the Template button, I then get this error message &quot;The reply template cannot be created. &nbsp;The client operation failed.&quot;<br />
<br />
From a Windows XP client, running Outlook 2003 - <br />
I am able to create the template but on the final window to save the rule, I get this error essage &quot;Changes to the rule cannot be saved&quot;<br />
