How possible to configure Out Of Office message content on Exchange 2007 Console?

Hi;

Most of time, some of my users require our I.T. to troubleshoot their Out Of Office assistance function on Outlook. However; if I do not have their email account password, I am not able to do it until got his password to sign on to their mailbox through OWA.

Is it possible to configure their OOF content through Exchange 2007 management console or through the Exchange Management Shell script?

Hi;

the second comment seems a alternative workaround, at step 5, when I logon to OWA, am I loging on to my admin mailbox? How to select the mailbox of the user and enable the OOF message on that particular mailbox?

Use the browser at a workstation logged on as the admin that was selected in AD - User Mailbox Rights, then use the following URL example:
http://<mail server name or IP address>/exchange/<username> Be sure to use the username of the user and not the domain admin user name. OWA will open because the admin user has full mailbox rights.

You may want to look at this tool:

It is an admin tool for OOTO. Works very well.

I got you. At step 5, I have to logon to a computer with Domain Admin account first then going to OWA and using your posted URL which is http://<exchange server>/exchange/<target username>

Yes, correct. It should work!

I believe, this is the simple and easy to use solution. Because no additional 3rd party software involved and not too much configuration required.
