I don't think you can - you can manually enable/disable it in Outlook or in
OWA, though.
 
Thank you.

i am trying to find a way to have the OOO automatically enable each night
and disable each morning.
 
Why? Wouldn't people normally assume that you are out of the office at night?
 
No, i work for an extremely large company managing global resources. Three of
us manage 168 agents in 4 countries that are online 24X7...we are in office
from 6-10 daily.

So i would like to have the OOO come on at 10p and turn off at 6a...

removing the human element ensures proper escalation after hours...

Don't think this is possible. Grant others access to the mailboxes in
question so they can view new items & take care of them. And/or wean people
off sending directly to your mail address and to one in a shared mailbox
that is monitored 24/7.

I don't know of any way to schedule OOF as you wish.
 
There should be a script at http://www.cdolive.com that shows how to turn OOA on and off programmatically.

Actually, i havent had time to test, having difficulty resolving a presence
issue with a sharepoint site...will update when i have more information
 
I was looking for the same thing, but this looks like a servers script and I
dont want to bother our admins with it, or to be more precise, I dont think
they'll want to be bothered by it.

Anybody got any ideas for a simple client based solutuion?
