Hello,
Today we’ll learn about how to set out of office on behalf of users. This can be be handy if a user leaves the company and didn’t set any out of office before leaving. It can also be helpful for any emergency leave.
Set Out of Office in behalf of User
To set an out of office you need some administrative privileges :
You also need to do it from PowerShell, Microsoft gives us a cmdlet :
Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration
If you look at the help, you’ll find some good example that will help you understand how to use this cmdlet despite the parametersets, validateset and parameter attributes missing.
Enable :
Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration -Identity Dumbo@itfordummies.net -ExternalMessage "This is a test mailbox !" -InternalMessage "You hit a test and dev mailbox !" -AutoReplyState Enabled
Schedule :
Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration -Identity Dumbo@itfordummies.net -ExternalMessage "This is a test mailbox !" -InternalMessage "You hit a test and dev mailbox !" -StartTime ([DateTime]::Now) -EndTime (Get-Date -Year 2020) -AutoReplyState Scheduled
Note : ParameterSets aren’t define, so pay close attention to the help documentation to really understand how to use this cmdlet.
Verify
Once the cmdlet ran, you can check it :
Get-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration dumbo@itfordummies.net
