How to set an Out of Office (Out of Facility) Auto-reply on Exchange

Use Outlook Web Access (OWA)

  1. Login to Outlook Web Access at http://mail.colostate.edu.
  2. Click the "Option" link in the upper-right corner of the Outlook Web Access screen.
  3. Click the "Out of Office Assistant" in the navigation pane on the left.
  4. Set your out of office message and settings. Click "Save" in the upper-left corner to save your changes.

Use Outlook

  • Optionally, you may also use your Outlook client to set your Out of Office message. In Outlook, the "Out of Office Assistant" is available from the "Tools" menu. Note that this option does not work for Outlook 2007 users who login to their PCs with a non-"COLOSTATE" account. Refer to http://help.mail.colostate.edu/faqs.aspx?#faq004 for more information.
