Deploying Outlook Safe Senders list fails

L

limran

I am trying to deploy a safe senders list to all out Outlook 2003 Exchange
cached mode clients but it is not working. It has a pop up at the end saying
"The Custom Maintenance Wizard has finished applying changes. See
c:\documents and settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\Office 11
Maintenance(0000).txt for more details." I tried to find the error in the
1669 pages of the afore mentioned document but I don't know what to look for.
I have tried this through a push system via a batch file and running the
MaintWiz.exe /c "<the_path_of_the_CMW_file>" /q from the local machine as the
local user but I can't see where the problem is. I also ran it without the /q
switch but still no help. I followed the instructions from another post
listed below but it will not work on a diffrent system. I does create the
safe senders file in the location I specified but it is not applied in
Outlook.

Thanks for any suggestions or help!

Below are the earlier post instructions I followed.

"Note: This will modify the default Outlook profile.

1. Start Outlook on a test computer, and click Tools menu -> Options ->
Junk E-mail
2. On the Safe Senders tab, add the email address you want to deploy, click
Export to file to export the list into a .txt file.

3. Install the Office 2003 Editions Resource Kit Tools on the test computer
from the following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4bb7cb10-a6e5-4334-
8925-3bcf308cfbaf&displaylang=en

4. Click Start menu -> All Programs -> Microsoft Office -> Microsoft Office
Tools -> Microsoft Office 2003 Resource Kit -> Custom Maintenance Wizard.
5. On Page 1, click Next.
6. On Page 2, browse to select an .MSI file that you used to deploy Office
setup and click Next.
7. On Page 3, select "Create a new CMW file" and click Next.
8. On Page 4, click Browse to save the CMW file which we will use to modify
Outlook profile. Click Next.

9. Go to Page 8, Add/Remove Files, and click Add.
10. In the Add Files to MST dialog box, select the three Junk E-mail Filter
files that you created in the previous procedure.
11. In the Destination path on the user's computer drop-down list, select
the location where the files will be installed for users. Click OK.

12. Go to Page 7, Change Office User Settings page, and under Microsoft
Office Outlook 2003 -> Tools | Options -> Preferences, click Junk Mail.
13. Double-click Junk Mail Import List, select "Apply Changes", and ensure
that the check box is cleared.
14. Double-click Overwrite or Append Junk Mail Import List, select "Apply
Changes", and ensure that the check box is cleared.
15. Double-click Specify path to Safe Senders list, select "Apply Changes",
and input the full path and file name you specify in step 11.
16. Click OK and click Finish.

17. Then we transfer the CMW file to the client computers that you want to
deploy the Safe Senders List.
18. Click Start -> Run, input cmd and press Enter.
19. Use cd command to locate the C:\Program
Files\ORKTools\ORK11\Tools\Custom Maintenance Wizard folder.
20. Type the following command and press Enter:

MaintWiz.exe /c "<the_path_of_the_CMW_file>" /qb-

21. Wait until the Windows Installer finishes the customization.

We can also create a .bat file and then configure a Logon script via Group
Policy to force clients to copy the CMW file from a shared path on the
server and run the command as listed above. More information about how to

You can use the CMW file viewer from the ORK to see what actions the update was supposed to perform. The important issue is that the registry value match the actual file path for the list.

Here is what is in the file. It all looks correct to me. It does extract the
safsenders.txt file to the correct location but it does not show upo in
Outlooks safe senders list.

Looks good to me, too. Did you check the registry to see if JunkMailImportLists was indeed added?
