If my previous post doesn't work could you please replace

IPM.Note.Rules.OofExternalTemplate.Microsoft
with

IPM.Note.Rules.ExternalOOFTemplate.Microsoft
in function _OL_OOFSet and post the result?

I'm soon running out of ideas :)

Neither Google nor M$ give detailed information on how to set the OOF programmatically.

OK, another try.

Can you please delete the internal and external OOF using the Outlook wizard and then run the following script?

What does the script return? Can you see the external OOF text in the Outlook wizard?

#include 

$oOL = _OL_Open()
$iOL_Debug = 2
$iResult = _OL_OOFSetEX($oOL, "*", Default, "Test Extrnal OOF")
ConsoleWrite($iresult & "-" & @error & "-" & @extended)
_OL_Close($oOL)

; #FUNCTION# ====================================================================================================================
; Name ..........: _OL_OOFSet

sh.t!

I've searched the Internet high and low but couldn't find a script that shows me how to do it.

As our Exchange server is still 2003 I can't test (at the moment - we will move to Exchange 2010 in october).

Maybe additional rules need to be defined so Exchange knows how to handle external OOF notification.

If anyone finds some useful information on the net I will be happy to implement it in the OutlookEX UDF!

Can you please:

  • reset all OOF settings (text, date/time settings, activation ...) using the OOF wizard
  • run the example script from above
  • post/send me screenshots of the internal and external OOF settings taken from the OOF wizard

Hi water,

it took some time to find time for testing... :)

I did the testing the very same way you listed above -

nothing changed, so the external OOF will not be affected...

I have attached two screenshots (MSO2010) you asked for; maybe they could help...

If you need more, please tell me...

Greets,

-supersonic.

Thanks for the screenshots.

How did you call _OL_OOFSet (can you please post the complete statement)?

The external OOF seems to be a bit more complex to manage ;)

Till now I haven't found any information how to set the properties programmatically.

I will have an eye on it but I'm sure it will take some time to find a solution - if ever :)

Hi supersonic,

could you verify that the internal OOF works not only for your own mailbox but for the mailbox of another user you have write access as well?

Fine.

The next release of the UDF will contain the reduced OOF functions (to internal OOF replies). As soon as we have a solution for external OOF replies I will extend the OOF functions.

Hi AutoITSM,

the Outlook object model does not expose any way to use/set a .pst password programatically.

Does a window pop up so the user can enter the password?

Hi AutoITSM,

the problem is - as I mentioned in my previous post - that the password property can't be accessed using the Outlook object model.

The only way to solve the problem is to start a second script, wait for the password GUI to appear and enter the password. A good example is the _OL_Warnings.au3
