Control Out Of Office via the Exchange Shell

Hi

We would like to centrally administer the out of office function for all our users using the Exchange Management Shell.

We have successfully been able to turn on and turn off the feature by using theSet-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration command.

We have also been able to configure the forwarding rule using theSet-Mailbox alias –ForwardingAddress alais –DeliverToMailboxAndForward $True

However if the user already has an Out Of Office rule set then obviously the above forwarding rule is set in addition.

Is there anyway the Out Of Office rule can be configured using the Exchange Shell?

We have also tried using the Get-InboxRule to show the Out Of Office rule, however it is not listed for the user when their Out Of Office is on.
