Out of office assistant not working

The out of office assistant stopped working?  We found after an update the autoresponder for OWA stopped functioning, we believe that a setting was disabled during an update (dont ask why but this is how to fix it).  To fix this issue its as simple as allowing the Out of office assistant to autorepond:

1) Open Exchange System manager
2) Expand Global Settings
3) Expand Internet message Formats
4) on the right hand side right click the default click on properties
5) click on the advanced tab
6) and tick allow out of office
7) Restart the system attendant services
Reset any auto responders you set when this feature was unchecked
