Out of Office assistance

I have a couple of managers that are out of the office, but the haven't
enabled their out of office assistant. As i do not have their passwords to
log into the outlook profile, is there a way that i can enable this setting.

Nope, OOA can only be actived by logging onto the mailbox. What version of
Exchange does the site run and/or can the manager(s) access their mailbox
via OWA?

Well heck, if they access via RPC over HTTP then they have all they need to
turn on/off. If they really want you to do this, they should make
arrangements with the network gods to grant you access to their mailbox. :)

i know they should be able to do this their selves, but you know non
technical people just wont do it. I can set access to there mail box, but
how do i open the profile, i can open their inbox etc, read there email, but
that is opening an additional mailbox under my profile. So when i go to turn
on the OOA, it turns it on for my mailbox, not theirs.

Thank Neo

If you have been granted logon access to their mailbox, just logon to their
mailbox via OWA and turn it on. If you have your heart set on using
Outlook, then you need to create a new Outlook profile via the mail applet
in the control panel.
