We already try that, still no lucky getting same error.
Ok what about the first part of the quesiton can you do it through OWA ?

Yes, we have no problem enable Out Of office from OWA.  Most of the user are using Outlook 2007.

Are these migrated users from 2003 or created on 2007 from the start ?
Try these from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940726/ it should take care of AutoDiscovery problems


To resolve this issue, modify the URLs for the appropriate Exchange 2007 components. To do this, follow these steps:
Start the Exchange Management Shell.
Modify the Autodiscover URL in the Service Connection Point. The Service Connection Point is stored in the Active Directory directory service. To modify this URL, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity CAS_Server_Name -AutodiscoverServiceInternalUri https://mail.contoso.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml 
Modify the InternalUrl attribute of the EWS. To do this, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity "CAS_Server_Name\EWS (Default Web Site)" -InternalUrl https://mail.contoso.com/ews/exchange.asmx
Modify the InternalUrl attribute for Web-based Offline Address Book distribution. To do this, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
Set-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity "CAS_Server_name\oab (Default Web Site)" -InternalUrl https://mail.contoso.com/oab
Modify the InternalUrl attribute of the UM Web service. To do this, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
Set-UMVirtualDirectory -Identity "CAS_Server_Name\unifiedmessaging (Default Web Site)" -InternalUrl https://mail.contoso.com/unifiedmessaging/service.asmx
Open IIS Manager.
Expand the local computer, and then expand Application Pools.
Right-click MSExchangeAutodiscoverAppPool, and then click Recycle.
Important These steps assume that a host record exists in the DNS to map the FQDN that you specify to the IP address of the CAS server. Consider the following sample scenario:
The original internal URLs for the Exchange components point to the internal FQDN of the server. For example, one of these URLs points to the following:
https://ServerName.contoso.com/ews/exchange.asmx
The FQDN that is specified on the certificate points to the externally accessed host name of the server. For example, the certificate specifies an FQDN, such as "mail.contoso.com."
In this scenario, you must add a host record for the mail host name that is mapped to the internally accessed IP address of the CAS server to let internal clients access the server.
We are not migrating from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007. It's newly setup Exchange 2007.
