How do I set up a global 'Out of Office' message in Exchange 2003?

I would like to enable an OoO message across my firm (for all email accounts) for a certain period of time.  Is it even possible?

Unfortunately, there is no method that is available to configure Out of Office auto-replies from within the Exchange System Manager console.  The only OoO related setting is the global setting in which you can allow or deny the OoO reply to be sent outside of your mail system.

There are tools out there such as this one:  http://www.pergenex.com/remoteoof/index.shtml

but nothing is built into exchange 2003 for this..... sorry

Turn you "Out of Office" on and in reply msg write appropriate msg. OR you may use "reply using template option on the same "out of office" form

Why MS would disable this feature in MS Exchange 2003 is anyone's guess?
