Error on running Outlook Out-of-Office Assistant

Hi There,

Most probably this is due to configuration requirement in RPC Encryption. By default, Microsoft Office Outlook does not use RPC encryption. This problem can also happen if you are using Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 and you halt the Encrypt data between Microsoft Office Outlook and Microsoft Exchange profile settings.

Manually update or create your Outlook profile with RPC encryption;

For Outlook 2003

To manually bring up to date an existing Outlook 2003 profile, it uses RPC encryption with Exchange 2010, follow the procedure:

• Go to Control Panel, then open the Mail item.
• Click Show Profiles.
• Select your profile, and then click Properties.
• Click E-mail Accounts.
• Select View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then click Next.
• Select the Microsoft Exchange Server account, and then click Change.
• In the dialog box that contains your mailbox server and user name, click More Settings.
• In the Microsoft Exchange Server dialog box, click the Security tab.
• Click to select the Encrypt data between Microsoft Office Outlook and Microsoft Exchange Server check box, and then click OK.

• Click Next, and then click Finish.
• Click Close, and then click OK.

To create a new Outlook 2003 profile so that it uses RPC encryption with Exchange 2010, follow these steps:

• In the Control Panel, open the Mail item.
• Click Add to create a new profile.
• Enter a name for your profile, and then click OK.
• In the E-mail Accounts dialog box, select Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.
• On the Server Type page in the E-mail Accounts dialog box, select Microsoft Exchange Server, and then click Next.
• On the Exchange Server Settings page in the E-mail Accounts dialog box, enter the name of your Exchange 2010 server that has the Client Access Server role.
• Note This server may differ from the server that hosts your mailbox.
• Click More Settings.
• Click OK when you receive a "The action could not be completed" error message.
• In the Microsoft Exchange Server dialog box that contains the Check Name button, click Cancel.
• In the Microsoft Exchange Server dialog box, click the Security tab.
• Click to select the Encrypt data between Microsoft Office Outlook and Microsoft Exchange Server check box, and then click OK.
• Click Next, and then click Finish.

For Outlook 2007
