Outlook 2007 Deployment using Office Customization Toolkit

J

Joey Joe Joe

Hi there,

I have been trying to user the Office Customization Toolkit to create an MSP
file to streamline deployment of Outlook settings. The MSP file I have
created consists of the following

Features - Modify user settings
- Microsoft Office Outlook 2007-Tools|Options-Mail Setup
Mail account options=Enabled
- Microsoft Office Outlook 2007-Tools|Account Settings-Exchange
Auto conf profile based on AD primary SMTP address=Enabled
- Microsoft Office Outlook 2007-Tools|Account Settings-Cached Exchange Mode
Cached Exchange Mode (File|Cached Exchange Mode)=Enabled

- Outlook - Outlook profile
Modify Profile: Define changes to profile named: 'Exchange Profile'
- Outlook - Specify Exchange Server settings
Configure an Exchange Server connection, username=%username%, exchange
server=server.domain.com
Tick = Overright existing Exchange settings if an Exchange connection exists

Select = Configure Cached Exchange Mode
- Cached Exchange Mode settings
Tick = Use Cached Exchange Mode
Select=Download full items

The .MSP file containing these changes is saved into the \Updates directory
in the Office 2007 Setup directory

When Office is installed, and I start Outlook for the first time, the
configuring outlook accounts process starts, then the Outlook 2007 Startup
window shows prompting to click 'Next'.

The user is then prompted to configure an E-mail account, and can click
Yes/No then 'Next'.

The next step the name & email address are retrieved, however the 'Manually
configure server settings or additional server types checkbox is enabled and
the user has to click 'Next'.

The E-mail account is successfully configure to use Microsoft Exchange,
click Finish.

Question:
What is required to be set in the OCT to skip these steps requiring use
input and automatically configure the Exchange account the first time Outlook
is run?

Thanks in advance!
