This article will show you how to configure Mailbox Auto Replay or Out Of Office replay (OOF) using Exchange Server 2016 PowerShell.
This is a new feature that Is only available on exchange Server 2016 or Office 365.
I’ll run this configuration on a user called Test01 and In the snap below you can see how the OOF looks before
To set auto reply I’ll run the cmdlet below from Exchange PowerShell.
Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration -Identity test01 -AutoReplyState Scheduled -StartTime "1/1/2016 08:00:00" -EndTime "3/3/2016 17:00:00" -InternalMessage "OOF Message" -ExternalMessage "OOF Message"
This is how the OOF message looks after I ran the cmdlet.
To disable OOF using PowerShell type:
Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration test01 -AutoReplyState Disabled
To check the status type:
Get-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration test01
