Out of Office Email Response for Someone

What It Is

The Supervisor, Security Liaison or Administrative Assistant may request that an Out of Office response message be added to someone else's email message when that person is on extended leave and unable to do it themselves.

How to Do It

The Supervisor, Security Liaison or Administrative Assistant sends an email to the OIT Service Desk (link to all OIT service desk email addresses) requesting that an Out of Office message be placed on an employee’s account. The employee should be copied on the email.
 
The email should contain

• The name and email address of the employee.
• The reason for the out of office message.
• The text.
• The start and end date (if applicable).

Roles

• OIT Service Desk creates a ticket and routes it to the appropriate support group.

• The Affected End User is the employee.

What You Can Expect

The active Directory and Messaging team will grant temporary delegation on the account to the requestor to place the Out of Office notification on the account.
