Dear all,

recently I goes off to office and I simply set my out of office message from
my outlook client in order to reply to incoming mail.

Then when I get back to office, I turn off the Out off office message from
my outlook client and verify also from OWA that the message whas reall turn
off.

Then what happen is that my SBS server still send the out office message to
all my incoming mail . I have restart my server without any effect.

Hello serge,

Thanks for your post.

By default, on SBS 2003 server, there is only switch for Out of Office(OOF) that enable or disable this feature. SBS server will not control individual Out of Office behavior. So, let's first focus on the
problematic user account first.

Start Outlook with the /cleanrules switch, then re-setup the OOF and see if it works. However, before you do that, remember to export your inbox rules via the Export Rules button found within the Options
section of the main Rules and Alerts window.

If the issue still occur, please refer to the following articles to reconfigure and troubleshoot this abnormal OOF issue:

Create a rule to have Exchange Server send an automatic reply:
