I need to set up an Auto reply to send messages from 6:30 pm - 6:30 am Mon-Fri and 24 hours a day Saturday and Sunday during non-supported hours.

Can Outlook 2010 be setup to send auto replies during time frames such as this?

How can it be done?

You can set up auto replies this way:

1. Go to the File tab in Outlook under the Info menu. Press Automatic Replies

2. A window will appear, Press Add Rule...

3. Another window will appear where you can set up how you want your rule to work. In your case you will want to flag Reply With and select a template

4. You can press Advanced... to modify date settings as you wish.

5. Usually one rule will do it, but you can set up multiple rules to best suit your needs.

Unfortunately you will not be able to specify time of day this way. A VBA script is required to reach this level of precision : This script will give a head start if your comfortable doing a little coding.
