Of you are an Outlook 2010 user in an Exchange environment, you can easily set an Out of Office message if you’re going to be away for a few days.
1. In Outlook, select the File menu.
2. Click Info on the left side.
3. Click Automatic Replies (Out of Office). If this option is grayed out, you may not be connected to an Exchange server and will not be able to use this feature.
4. Select the Send automatic replies option. You can also check Only send during this time range: and select a time frame to send the replies.
5. Select the Inside My Organization tab and type the reply you would like sent to your co-workers who are on the same mail system.
6. Select the Outside My Organization tab and type the reply you would like sent to people outside of your organization.

I have the same problem as Chris (October 31, 2012 at 12:50 am)
I only have 3/4 options in the info pane, the missing one is Automatic Replies.
What is the reason for this?
Thanks! Very helpful!
Out of office did not work for me in Outlook 2010 in non-exchange server environment. I have a gmail account.
I was able to work around this by going to Gmail account online and change the settings and turn on the vacation message there.
