Exchange 2013 - Enable auto reply per mailbox

  • 772

Our Exchange 2013 server is set up with only the default * remote domain, which has AutoReplyEnabled set to False.

I would like just a handfull of mailboxes to be able to send auto-replies externally, but retain the default behaviour for all others.

Is there a way of assigning another * remote domain to these mailboxes? Or can I set AutoReplyEnabled to true on the remote domain, but control auto-reply behaviour per mailbox?

    You'll need to re-enable Auto Replies by setting AutoReplyEnabled to True and then use Transport Rules. The Transport rule should block messages of type Automatic reply with an exception of the Mailboxes you'd like to exclude, ideally by Group Membership.

  2. Based on my research, you could also allow users to send automatic reply to only internal by setting the parameter "-ExternalOofOptions" of Set-Mailbox cmdlet to InternalOnly(More details about the cmdlet "Set-Mailbox": https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/set-mailbox?view=exchange-ps). Hope it's helpful to you too.
