Outlook version = 2003, OS = Windows XP. When trying to use Out Of Office
Assistant, the following message appears: "The Command Is Not Available".
Tried searching through support based on searches for Outlook 2003 and Out Of
Office Assistant. No resolutions to the particular error message.

Thanks
 
I do have Exchange Server connectivity. I have 80 users in the same
location, not to mention thousands across the organization. This is an
isolated incident with this particular person.

Thanks.
 
I do have Exchange Server Connectivity. This is one of 80 users in a
particular location, using the exact same build process, yet, for some
reason, this is the only person who receives the error message mentioned
below. I'm wondering if there isnt a setting/issue with his profile that may
be causing the problem.

Thanks
 
Does it work in a different profile on the same machine?

You might try creating a new profile. Also make sure the Outex*.ecf
extensions are installed -- Tools | Options | Other | Advanced Options |
Add-in Manager.

Hi, What I feel is that your out of office assistant has got
Disabled. You need to enable it.
1. Open out look client
2. Go to Help option.
3. Click on "About Microsoft office outlook"
4. After this a licensed window appears, Click on the option "Disabled items"
5. Enable the Items in this window.

Hope this solves your problem

Between my vacation and a business trip, I finally was able to hook up with
the user to try this and it worked like a charm! Thank you very much for
your thoughts on this.

Many thanks for the tip!

I wrote my own question on this subject earlier today but found the answer
here further down the page. A particular item had been disabled as it
apparently disturbed the performance but is now OK!
 
I found the resolution in Ofice Help (not located in help where it should of
been)..
so..
Step 1. Go to Help Menu
Step 2. Click on About Microsoft Office Outlook
Step 3. Click on Disabled Items
Step 4. Now Enable Out Of Office

This should now work..... :)
