KB15155: Out Of Office text is not synchronized to Microsoft Exchange 2007 when updated from the BlackBerry smartphone

So at last RIM confirm they have a problem! .. Rumour control has the fix scheduled for BES 5.0 … god knows when that will hit the streets!.

So esentially you when you migrate a Blackberry user to Exchange 2007 they shouldn’t set an OoO from the BES device!?
