Hi,<br />
<br />
The requirements are below. The actual powershell command is easy enough, I think. The bit I am struggling with is what needs to go around it to make it into a script.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help.<br />
<br />
Requirement:<br />
<br />
Create a script utilising the Exchange 2010 Management Shell (EMS) which will set an Out of Office reply on a user's mailbox using the following inputs:<br />
<br />
1. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; User account name<br />
2. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Internal Out of Office reply<br />
3. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; External Out of Office reply<br />
4. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Start date for Out of Office reply<br />
5. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; End date for Out of Office reply<br />
<br />
Purpose:<br />
<br />
Using the Exchange 2010 Management Shell (EMS) Out of Office replies can be configured on a user's mailbox without the rigmarole of assigning permissions, logging in as a user and setting the Out of Office reply on their behalf. This involves a significant amount of administrative effort at present which could be greatly reduced through the creation of a script to be used by Exchange administrators.<br />
