Distribute Outlook Address book and set show this address list fir

gherki #1 / 5	Distribute Outlook Address book and set show this address list fir I am deploying Office 2003 via SMS 2003 to newly built machines with no user information or migration required. I am trying to achieve 2 objectives: - Add an Outlook Address book and show it listed in the addrees book drop down list when the user logs in. When the user clicks on To: or the address book a specified list is shown and not the whole Global Address List. I have created and OPS file from a profile that has the settings I require. I am using the custom installation wizard. I select the OPS file on the appropriate wizard screen and then select the radio button for new profile and add the Outlook Address book as a setting. The installation using the resultant MST does not add the OAB. Can you tell me if the above requirement is possible to automate and is their a way of logging/debugging the process? Many Thanks

gherki #2 / 5	Distribute Outlook Address book and set show this address list fir I have now managed to get the Outlook Address Book added ok. I was using a box that had Office installed previously and it appears that uninstalling Office does not remove the default outlook profile. Now working on getting the "show this address list" selection. Any help would be appreciated.

phoenix200 #3 / 5	Distribute Outlook Address book and set show this address list fir I think that I am in the same boat. My boss doesn't want to be bothered with the global address list when all he usually does is email folks outside the company. With Exchange 2k3Server on the backside, when the TO: button is clicked, it automatically defaults to the Global address list. Does anyone know how to change that to default to your personal contact list? gherkin Wrote: Quote: > I have now managed to get the Outlook Address Book added ok.

gherki #4 / 5	Distribute Outlook Address book and set show this address list fir To do it manually open the address book and select tools options and select the show adrress list first. Programmatically it is probably a reg key or if not use a prf file with Office Custom Setup Wizard. May also be possible to change properties of mailbox in Active Directory.

Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook #5 / 5	Distribute Outlook Address book and set show this address list fir None of the above -- it's neither a simple registry value, nor a setting that can be handled with a .prf file, not an AD setting. It is a profile-related registry setting that should be scriptable with the ProfMan library that comes with Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/). Some third-party profile tools may also support it. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx Quote: > To do it manually open the address book and select tools options and select > the show adrress list first. > Programmatically it is probably a reg key or if not use a prf file with > Office Custom Setup Wizard.
