How to turn off Out of Office Assistant remotely?

[Kiedish]

My Sales Director's laptop was stolen. I can access her emails via the
Exchange Server, but would like to turn off her Out of Office reply. As I
can't get access to her laptop, is there a way to turn this off remotely?
She is using Outlook 2003.

Man hate to hear that. Yes you can turn off Out Of the office that is if you
have Outlook For Web Access Setup. Just open your browser put in the OWA
address then log in with your Sales Directors account. Once your log into his
account using OWA you can turn Out of Office from there.

Did the Sales Director also get stolen? If she is still around, why not
just have her login on a host that is still available at the company or
using the replacement laptop to make the config changes in Outlook? Or
doesn't your domain allow for roaming profiles?

Exchange admins can enable the Out of Office function for employees that
leave or are fired to let customers get a message telling them to use an
alternate contact to the company whereas disabling the account results
in the sender thinking the account doesn't exist anymore because of a
non-delivery notice they get back. Well, that means they can also
disable it. What did your Exchange admin say?

Outlook Web Access would be one way.
