SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to use the Out of Office Assistant, you receive the following error messages:
CAUSE
Out of Office Assistant creates a set of two rules in the Inbox subtree. The first contains a Message Class of IPM.Note.Rules.Oof.Template.MicrosoftMessage with a field, PT_String8=MSFT:TDX OOF Rules. The other rule contains a Message Class of IPM.Note.Rules.OoFTemplate.Microsoft. One or both of these rules are corrupted or are not synchronized with the OOF-enabled indicator.

Use the Mdbvue32 utility from the Exchange 2000 Server CD-ROM, the Exchange Server 5.5 CD-ROM, or the Exchange Server 5.0 Resource Kit to delete the two entries for Out of Office.

To do so, press and hold down CTRL while you click both CB values under Associated Messages in Fld. - In the Operations Available list, click lpFld-> DeleteMessages in the messages that are selected.
