Is there a way to activate the Out of Office Assistant remotely?

[Jennifer]

Often plans change, and I need to be able to activate (or change the message
on) my Out of Office Asistant while I'm away from the office. Is there any
way I can do this remotely, especially from a Blackberry? We are running
Office 2007, not on an Exchange server.

Out of Office Assistant is a feature of Exchange Server, are you sure you
don't have exchange server? You can turn it on via Outlook Web Access, which
is also part of Exchange Server.

You can use OWA to enable it. If the BB uses the BES, I think you can enable
it from the BB menus but I haven't tried it.
