Answer 1

Hi,

To the best of my knowledge, I am afraid it's not feasible to set the Out of Office template globally for all users via either GPO or Exchange powershell.

That being said, personally I would suggest considering sharing the template to all users via email and training them to set the Out-of-Office by themselves.
