I'm attemping to streamline a configuration of a few hundred machines.
Currently, the end user machines are using a local profile and already have
Outlook installed, which means I can't use any transforms. My solution
needs to be compatible with Office 2000, XP, 2003, AND Mandatory Profiles.
Here's what I've done:
Created a kix script that reads what ver of office is running. Based on the
version, it runs a newprof.exe cmd and imports a PRF on the 2000 clients.
For XP and 2003, it runs a outlook /import PRF command. This solutions works
very well when not running mandatory profiles. If I do not run a mandatory
profile, the end user is only prompted for their full name and initials once.
With mandatory profiles, they're obviously prompted for their full name and
initials upon every logon. Now my questions:
1. What purpose do the Full Name and Initials play?
2. Does anyone know how to either bypass the full name/initials prompt or
set them within the PRF. Can this also be set within the registry? If so
any ideas on the location?
thanks,
Keith
