Automatic replies in OWA (Outlook Web App) can be a handy feature in your organization. However, if your users need help to set up automatic replies, there may be a simple solution. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to ensure that your settings are correctly configured for automatic replies in OWA.

Step 1: Access the Exchange Admin Center

The first step in enabling automatic replies is to log into the Exchange Admin Center with an administrative account. This account will grant you the necessary permissions to make the required changes.
