We need to put a folder in outlook that shows an internal webpage when clicked. Basically we add the folder, then in the properties change the home page to the URL we want to display.

Instead of going to all 1000 clients, is there a way to write this in kixtart?

Here is the code to add the folder in VBScript:

Const olFolderInbox = 6

Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objNamespace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objFolder = objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

strFolderName = objFolder.Parent
Set objMailbox = objNamespace.Folders(strFolderName)

Set objNewFolder = objMailbox.Folders.Add("Scripts Received")

Complete Code without error detection in VB:

Const olFolderInbox = 6

Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objNamespace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objFolder = objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

strFolderName = objFolder.Parent
Set objMailbox = objNamespace.Folders(strFolderName)

Set objNewFolder = objMailbox.Folders.Add("Employee Directory")
objNewFolder.WebViewURL = "http://192.168.61.100/StaffView"
objNewFolder.WebViewOn = True

Would it be easier just to reference this VB script in the Kix batch file?

Straight conversion. Untested. Try it and see how far you get.

 Code:
$olFolderInbox = 6

$objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
$objNamespace = $objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
$objFolder = $objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder($olFolderInbox)

$strFolderName = $objFolder.Parent
$objMailbox = $objNamespace.Folders($strFolderName)

$objNewFolder = $objMailbox.Folders.Add("Employee Directory")
$objNewFolder.WebViewURL = "http://192.168.61.100/StaffView"
$objNewFolder.WebViewOn = not 0 ;True

Quick and dirty translation
 Code:
$olFolderInbox = 6

$objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
$objNamespace = $objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
$objFolder = $objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder($olFolderInbox)

$FolderName = $objFolder.Parent
$objMailbox = $objNamespace.Folders($FolderName)

$objNewFolder = $objMailbox.Folders.Add("Employee Directory")
$objNewFolder.WebViewURL = "http://192.168.61.100/StaffView"
$objNewFolder.WebViewOn = True

Untested use at your own risk
