In order to change the Out of Office Reply you need to have permissions to open that users mailbox. In most cases, the administrator account should have these permissions. That user also needs to have permissions to Outlook Web Access

 Open a web browser and navigate to your OWA address. Log on as the administrator. Once you have successfully logged on, in the address bar add the username and "inbox"

Example: http://mail.domain.com

Log in as administrator (or with another user who has permissions to open the other mailbox)

Change the url to http://mail.domain.com/Username/Inbox

This takes you to their mailbox

Click on options and change the Out of Office message and save it.

Viola! You changed it without having to reset the users password.

Not sure if you can do it in an Exchange 2007 environment as even Exchange Admins don't have full access to all mailboxes by default anymore. Reply 1   0

Add-Mailbox Permission -Identity "Mailbox Name" -User newuser -Accessright Fullaccess -InheritanceType all Change "Mailbox Name" to the common name of the mailbox whose permissions you wish to affect. This should be in quotes. Change newuser to the logon name of the user to whom you wish to grant rights. For example, to add user jdoe with permissions to access the mailbox for user Michael Myers, the cmdlet would be: Add-MailboxPe rmission -Identity "Michael Myers" -User jdoe -Accessright Fullaccess -InheritanceType all Reply 0   0
