I recently came across the following error message when one our users attempted to enable their out of office message in Outlook 2003:

Windows XP Outlook Out of Office Assistant Error.jpg

Out of Office Fix

To fix this problem you will need to perform the following:

Shut down Outlook and open Windows Registry via Start->Run->regedit

Then find the following node:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Resiliency

Export the entry key listed under this node(just in case) and then Delete afterwards.

Relaunch Outlook and you should be able to set the Out of Office.
