Question : Allowing Outlook 2003 Out of Office Messages on an Exchange 2007 Server

By default Outlook 2003 users do not appear to have permission to set out of office messages on an SBS2008 server, running Exchange 2007.

This issue is documented on the following technet article.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997463(EXCHG.80).aspx

However I am having problems with the Exchange console command line suggested; which is as follows:
Set-RemoteDomain "RemoteDomain" -AllowedOOFType ExternalLegacy

This is probably quite simple, but whatever I try to translate "Remotedomain" domain to in the command line, Exchange says that it is not found on the server.

Can someone just confirm the correct Syntax so that this can be applied i.e. allowing all Outlook 2003 clients to set external out of office messages.

For reference, the out of office messages work fine in Outlook Web Access.

Have you seen this article on the Exchange Team Blog for Exchange 2007 OOF? http://msexchangeteam.com/archive/2006/10/06/429115.aspx

If you're having trouble setting in via the command line then there's a screenshot and some description in the section for admins on how to change your OOF settings from the exchange mgmt console.
