I've had a few users who are unable to activate their out of office
assistant and get the following error: Changes to the rule could not be
saved

They are using Outlook 2003 SP1 and SP2 on Exchange 2003 SP2 in cached
Exchange mode which is needed as we have laptop users.

I have tried the following solution which works until they have been
out of the office for a few days and on return and get the initial
problem again:

- Remove the additional mailboxes and/or PST files
- Export possible rules
- Start Outlook with the /cleanrules switch
- Import back rules
- Test the Out-of-the-office Assistant inserting a text and enabling it

- Re-add the additional mailboxes and/or the PST files
- Test again the Out-of-the-office Assistant

I have also created new outlook, local and server profiles which
resolve the problem initially but then revert back once the user is
back in the office.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
