Consider the following scenario. A contact sets an
out-of-office message in Microsoft Office Outlook. Then, the contact signs out of
Microsoft Office Communicator 2005 on
all Communicator 2005 clients. You sign in to Communicator 2005. Then, you view the contact
in the buddy list. In this scenario, Communicator 2005 correctly displays the
presence status of the contact as
Offline. Communicator 2005
also displays the out-of-office message note for the contact. However, when you
use SmartTags in Outlook or in Microsoft Office Word to query the
presence status of the contact, Outlook or Word incorrectly displays the
presence status of the contact as
Away.
