Import-PSSession $s

# enable Out of Office reply
$mbox = 'JCDough'
$internal = 'I am currently out of office and unable to return phone calls and emails. Please contact your TAS Specialist and or someone else on the TAS team with any immediate concerns. Thanks!'
$external = 'I am currently out of office and unable to return phone calls and emails. Please contact your account manager with any immediate concerns and we will make sure your taken care of. Thanks!'
