Exchange 2010 - mailbox with Auto Respond and Forward to Distribution Group

Hi All
We need to  setup a user Mailbox on Exchange 2010  with Auto respond on the mailbox and then  setup a forward from the mailbox  to a  Mail Universal Distribution group ,

I have 2 Questions on this

1) When setting the forward do we need to set "Deliver Messages to both Forwarding Address and mailbox"  to ON in order for the Auto Responder on the mailbox to work ?
2) When setting the forward is this change initiated immediately on Exchange 2010  or is there a command to force the change

Any Help Greatly appreciated

Thanks

1) we simply used an out of office for the mailbox

2) we have the mailbox set  to "Deliver Messages to both Forwarding Address and mailbox"

I  can now get the Auto response from a test account using OWA  , but when I send from my own Outlook client or OWA , I get no reply   , perhaps some issue with my own account or does the Out Of Office notify only trigger to a user once a day ?

Thanks WCAIT
