Unable to use Out of the Office Assistant - office 2007/ exchange 2010

Hello Experts!!

I think I have missed a step on Exchange configuration because Outlook 2007 Out of the office assistant doesn't work, while in Outlook  I select out of the office assistant takes a while to give the following message:
 " Your Our of Office settings cannot be displayed, because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later".

Although I'm able to send/receive/ view my emails...

Any ideas what could be the reason why is not working?

Thanks a lot!!!

Have you tried setting the OOF via OWA?
Also do you have the latest SP for your exchange server?

SP1.

I had this problem because there was a problem with the File Distribution Service.  I restarted and it worked.

If that doesn't do it, go down the autodiscover route.
