"Out of office" and Outlook 2003
When I attempts to set the Out of Office it doesn't let me make the change
I try to set the out of office assistant and it prompts me that the rule couldn't be saved
When I cancel out of the out of office assistant it prompts me that her rule was modified, do you want to save i hit yes and back to the rule couldn't be saved
1. Repaired Outlook
2. Renamed Extend.Dat and Ost Files
3. Repaired OST
4. went to OWA and turn off OOO assistant ond back on
5. Then relaunch Outlook modify OOO assistant
6. Logged in with Admin
7. Created new user profile
8. Created new Mail profile
9. Shutdown PC
10 Rebooted and OOO assistant error is BACK.
11. log in as the administrator and the same issue
12. uninstalled ands reinstalled outlook 2003
13. I also deleted the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0 in the registry, still did not help the situation.
14. configured another pc with my Mail profile and it works fine
15. re cloned my pc with ghost = issue is still present
Note: this only happens when the system is in Cache mode..????
Please help I going to go crazy until I figure it out

Maybe this helps seeming you only have it in cached mode :
You are working offline. If you are using Cached Exchange Mode, on the File menu, click Work Offline. Otherwise, you must specify the connection behavior at startup

Mmmm...
Well does it help or does the error go away if you "click" the option "work offline" in the File menu of Outlook 2003 ?
It says that you need to enable work offline when you are working in cached mode ..so I assume it only works if you do just that ?
Or if you have connection with the server , disable the cached method ... it works then you say ...so you kinda answered your own question ?!?

The Out of Office (OOF) rule does not fire in Outlook 2003 in Cached Exchange Mode
If you create a client-side OOF rule that creates a message, moves the e-mail message to a personal files (.pst) folder, or performs a custom action, the OOF rule does not fire if you run Outlook 2003 in Cached Exchange Mode.
You don't mention whether or not you have SP1, here are the KB articles on the bugs and patches for outlook 2003.

SP 1 was updated. I saw that on the MS knowledge base
Cached mode = online = it should update the ost and seems to be functioning correctly
I can send and recieve without a issue. Mail seems to be functioning as normal
It's just the out of office that doent let me update.
I have no rules setup
Ran every command switch to clean and local setting stored for outlook
Still not-a- thing
Arhhhhhhhh

to use out of office you need to be on an Exchange server .............
