Have a general question and hope maybe someone can come up with an answer to it. The Outlook configuration script works great and I have no problems with it. I am having an issue in Citrix, where I have Outlook 2003 installed and when I try to e-mail out of the application, it cannot find the profile. What this means is that you have to physically run Outlook and make the connection to Exchange and once completed all is fine. However, in the Citrix environment, I would prefer not to run Outlook to complete the configuration.

Thanks,

Kent

$ = delvalue("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\setup","First-Run")
$ = Writevalue("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\setup","importPRF",$file, REG_SZ)

where $file is the *.prf

and then just COM outlook to open
$Outlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
$NS = $Outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
; $Fldr = $NS.GetDefaultFolder(6)
; $Unread = $Fldr.UnReadItemCount
$Outlook = 0

I have a similiar issue. We're using scriptlogic to specify mail profile settings, but it doesn't seem to be working well with Outlook 2003. Do you just put this in a kix file and launch it as a pre-engine script?

Thanks!

Greg,

When you say "pre-engine" are you talking about ScriptLogic?

Here is the latest version of the Outlook script and I have used it on our Citrix boxes with no problem:

Yes, I was talking about the scriptlogic pre-engine. Thanks so much for the script. Hopefully, I'll be able to figure out how to make it work in our environment quickly. Thanks again!

Please let me know if there is anything that I missed or if you have a question.

If memory serves, SL has a pretty extensive configuration setup for Outlook. Your Support Contract with them should cover this.

It worked like a charm... After I pulled my head out and did the obvious stuff. Thanks a million!

Did you make any mods to the script? If so, can you post the final result?

Kent, to run the Outlook script on a seperate kixtart instance do I simply need to add another line to my initial batch file?

Example:
Code:
 

@echo off
REM Use of the syntax %0\..\ is discussed in Knowledge Base article Q121387.
@echo on
%0\..\4.21\kix32.exe %0\..\logon.kix
%0\..\4.21\kix32.exe %0\..\outlook.kix




Thanks,
Matthew

Nah..

You would want to do it this way:
Your BATCH File -
Code:

@echo off
REM Use of the syntax %0\..\ is discussed in Knowledge Base article Q121387.
@echo on
%0\..\4.21\kix32.exe %0\..\logon.kix



Then, in your logon.kix, you can do the following -
Code:

CALL @SCRIPTDIR+'\outlook.kix'



HTH,

Kent

That still would not be a separate instance of KiXtart, but the method described by Kent is a better method for your needs probably.

I'm glad you guys have been here so long. Your knowledge is sure helpful. Thanks for the information!

Kent, I'm going to test your Outlook.kix script in my network this week. I'll let you know how it works.

Matthew

Matthew,

Or, do you mind if I call you Matt?

Anyway, I am interested in what you find. I think the FAQ needs to be updated to be more like a "Cookbook" or Step-by-step in getting the Outlook/Exchange updates in place.

Thanks again,

Kent

Kent,

Matt works too.

I was wondering if you had ever created a script where you can create multiple Outlook profiles under the same Windows logon.

I have some user accounts that are shared between several people in a department. The Outlook profiles for all those people have to be manually entered by my desktop support technician. Would kixtart be able to automate the creation of multiple Outlook profiles under the same user account?

Matt
