You don't - your Exchange admin would have to do it as it cannot be set up
on the user side.

Not exactly true. While the OoOA is a server side operation, the user
configures it from his/her desktop. The user can set the parameters (how
long out of the Office) and configure a custom message informing the sender
of alternatives if the sender does not want to wait for the recipient's
return. You can also set rules to run on the client for mail that arrives
during your absence.

Lovely little tool that one!

The Out of Office Assistant is only available if you are using an Exchange
server on the back end as this is a server-side operation.

If you are using Exchange, ensure that the Exchange extensions are enabled
under Tools->Options->Other->Advanced button under Add-in Manager.

Are you using an Exchange server? If not, you would need to create a client
side rule for giving OOF-like functionality.
