Creating Profiles on Logon Scripts

[sdhammer]

We are using newprof to create Exchange profiles during logon scripts, is there a way to default the profile to the Outlook Today folder instead of the Inbox?

After the profile is created click on Outlook Today -> Customize and set it to open here when you open Outlook. Not sure if newprof does that. I personally never use Outlook Today. Dan

Had the same problem, ended up writing a small program to check whether the user had a profile on the PC. If yes it is set as the default if no newprof creates a profile....

Create a Registry Editor Using the sample between the lines and choose a name, for instance "OLToday.reg".

--------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Your Profile Name\0a0d020000000000c000000000000046]
"001e0336"="IPF.TodaysOutlook"
--------

Make sure the NT line does not wrap and replace the "Your Profile Name" with the name of your Outlook profile.

If you use a batch file or script to apply your Outlook profile add the line below after the profile is created, this will modify the registry with the changes in the OLToday.reg file

Regedit /S \\Server\Share\Folder\OLToday.reg
