Exchange 2003: Forward all mail accounts to one mailbox for 3 weeks
Hi
I have a customer that got an exchange 2003 server with about 10 users. These users also got mail aliases. Now the customer because of vacation wants all mail adresses to be forwarded to the managers mailbox for 3 weeks. How can that be done easily??
Regards, Steffen

Yeah i was just typing that maybe they should be using Out of Office with the managers email address for urgent matters.
Yeah something for 10 users and since its a one off really it is better to do it manually. I am sure you could script somethig but it is bound to take longer testing and making sure it works.
