Out of Office Assistant displays old message?

[Ken Mock]

Using outlook 2003 in exchange environment. We changed the message from
original message to new message however Out of office is still returning the
original message. It is as if outlook has saved the message somewhere and
will not allow it to be changed. If you look at the out of office assistant,
the new message displays.

Diane,
I think I have found the issue, not sure exactly what to do about it.

Our Exchange environment is 2007 and some users computers are office 2003.
We have Office 2007 on our recently purchased systems but a few Office 2003
systems still around. This is only happening on the 2003 systems.

Office 2007 and Exchange 2007 have a number of additional options regarding
the Out of office message. Capability of presetting dates, seperate messages
for internal / External users etc. If you set the out of office in OWA for
users with @003 installed on their local system, it works fine because the
display is the same as Outlook 2007. however just updating the Message box on
the local system will not update to the Exchange 2007 environment.

which message do you see if you look at the settings in owa?

I'm not sure you can do anything to change the behavior, other than use OWA
to edit it. But the Exchange experts may have a solution. See
