I have an Outlook Anywhere connection to my Exchange 2007 server configured
in cached exchange mode. Everything seems to work EXCEPT the Out of Office
assistant. Whenever I try to use that feature I'm told the server is
unavailable. I've been told this was a problem that began with Vista and
continues with Win 7 because the client is more "picky" about security
issues than were earlier client operating systems.

Anyone have experience with this and suggestions for things I can try?

I'm new here, hoping for help.

Thanks so much,
Jim Robertson

Did it ever work? See http://www.slipstick.com/emo/2008/up080814.htm#2 or
http://www.slipstick.com/exs/cmdlet/oof_failure.asp for a common reason it
fails.

No. I note that the specific instance you reference occurred with Exchange
2010, and of course what's in SBS2008 is Exchange 2007. I'd seen reports of
this before Exchange 2010 was released. I guess I can try to sort out how to
do what your linked article suggests.

Thanks for the very prompt response.

It's the same for both Exchange 2010 and 2007.

So, I tried the suggestion at the slipstick site. When I paste that command
into the Exchange Server Shell, it returns "access denied". I have no idea
why.
