Enable Auto-Reply in Outlook
You can enable Auto-Reply for your mailbox using either the Outlook client, or the Outlook Web App (OWA). Not everyone has the Outlook client, so these instructions will use the Web-based method.

Have someone send a test message (from an internal account and one from an external address) to confirm that the automatic replies are working.
