E-mail Out of Office assistant

[John Herring]

At work my email has the out of office assistant available
to place messages when I'm not available, but at home on
my personal computer the out of office assistant is not
available. I use the exact same version of office suite,
and install it the same way using the same installation
procedure for both work and home. The only difference is
at work I am connected to a LAN, and at home I'm not, I
have to use a modem to connect. Is not being connected to
the LAN the reason why the out of office not available, or
is there something else that I may have missed or need to
do to make it available? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Out of Office Assistant is only available if you connect to an Exchange
server as it is a server-side operation.
