You'd think so, but I've had problems getting it to work on my system. Not sure what the problem is yet, but I can't get it to return any delegates. There's also a note in the RU2 docs about it containing a fix for RemoveDelegate not working.

Use get-mailbox to get a list of Exchange aliases, call the EWS API GetDelegate() to retrieve the list of delegates on that mailbox, search for the alias returned to see if it's still valid, if not (using ADSI or the new AD module cmdlets); call the EWS API RemoveDelegate() to remove the bad delegate.

I actually asked them about the orphaned delegates thing at the stump the experts session at the Connections Vegas event, lots of shaking of heads, no love.......I was hoping for a PoSh solution.

I don't know if they are attending or not. William Lefkovics used to read and respond on this list, but I've not seen him respond here in a long time; I'm pretty sure he's not going (I believe I read that on Facebook, but I could be wrong). KevinM has rejoined Microsoft, so he'll be there, but not as an MVP. He and the other MSFT employees that read this list tend to operate in "stealth mode", for fairly obvious reasons. -----Original Message----- From: John Cook [mailto:john.c...@pfsf.org] Sent: Friday, January 29, 2010 4:11 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Suppress OOF to Distribution Lists Hopefully you're not the only one monitoring this list......you're just the most helpful!

[mailto:mille...@mukilteo.wednet.edu] Sent: Friday, January 29, 2010 1:28 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Suppress OOF to Distribution Lists Someone at our helpdesk did not get an OOF from another person today, I'm trying to figure out why. After some testing, I'm finding that an OOF message from Person B does NOT go to person A if person A sends to a DL that contains person B. So, I did a quick search and see there is this ability to suppress OOFs to distribution lists (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997729(EXCHG.80).aspx), but I do NOT have it configured-this value does not exist in the server's registry. Exchange 2007 Ent SP1 RU9 on WS03 SP2 R2 all roles on one server. Any ideas? Do I just need to add the "SuppressOOFsToDistributionLists" value, set it to 0, and recycle Exchange services to make it start working? Is there a good reason that one would NOT want OOFs to go back to users sending to DLs?
