Information workers use the Out of Office feature to alert others when they are unavailable to respond to e-mail messages. To improve out-of-office management, the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 implementation of the Out of Office feature makes configuring and managing out-of-office tasks easier and more flexible for both information workers and administrators.
