strMAPI = strExchangeSvr & vbLf & strMailbox

If err <> 0 Then
Wscript.Echo "An Error occured: " & err.description
Err.clear
Wscript.Sleep 7000
Wscript.Quit

objMAPISession.OutOfOfficeText = strOOOMessage
objMAPISession.OutOfOffice = 1
strOOOMessage = objMAPISession.OutOfOfficeText
objMAPISession.Logoff
Set objMAPISession = Nothing
