Hello, you helped us with a script to set the oof-message. Now we want to know, if it's possible to activate/deactivate the mail-forwarding option time-based. In the script we have

$oofStartDateParameterName = "param-abw-beginn"
$oofEndDateParameterName = "param-abw-ende"

We want to activate mail-forwarding on "param-abw-beginn" and deactivate it accordingly on "param-abw-ende"

Can you help me with that? Thanks Carsten

Hello Carsten,

Yes, it is possible. In addition to your custom command, you will need a Scheduled task. The command will preserve the dates from the parameters in Adaxes custom date attributes and the task will activate/deactivate email forwarding accordingly. For us to provide you with details, please, specify who should be set as forward to when the feature gets enabled.

Hello,

forward-to is generated by a template.

CN=Postfach.%departmentNumber%,OU=Team-Postfächer,OU=TEAMS,DC=lohn-ag,DC=local

departmentNumber is from the user the command is run for.

Hello Carsten,

Thank you for specifying. In this case, you should have something like the following:

For details about using the Modify Exchange properties action, have a look at the following tutorial: https://www.adaxes.com/help/AutomateExchangeMailboxConfiguration/.

One additional question. the condition in the scheduled task If the 'abw-beginn' parameter equals '%datetime%' should check for the selected date AND time, but it seems to only check for the date. Example: User selects abw-beginn: today, 18:00 the part with the oof-message is correct, oof-message is activated at 18:00. but the mail forwarding part is actived after the next run of the scheduled task (datetime equals current date, the time value is ignored) I check it by selecting the beginning for tomorrow, 08:00. Mail forwarding is set on the next run of the scheduled task after 00:00, not on 08:00 as is selected.

Is there any solution to this? Thanks for helping.

Hello Carsten,

You can use a script condition to compare not only the date part, but also the time. However, this is not a good idea as you will need to make sure that the scheduled task is executed exactly at the time set in the attribute. It means that the condition will hardly be met for any user. Still here is the script you can try.

$property = "adm-CustomAttributeDate1" # TODO: modify me

# Get attribute value
try
{
    $compareDate = $Context.TargetObject.Get($property)    
}
catch
{
    $Context.ConditionIsMet = $False
    return
}

# Compare dates
$currentDate = [System.DateTime]::UtcNow
$Context.ConditionIsMet = ($compareDate.Date -eq $currentDate.Date) -and ($compareDate.Hour -eq $currentDate.Hour)
