Darren's correct. Take out the "Policies" component in your key path and it should work. We have to do that with our site(s) here too but we wrote a script to do it dynamically at user logon.

From your original email, you changed the path of the reg value to the Policies key and you can't actually do that arbitarirly. The application itself (in this case Outlook) has to be explicitly coded to look in that path. If its not, but rather is looking in a different registry path, your ADM file needs to reflect that (and live with the consequences of tattooing unfortunately).

Winpolicies displays the following: Policy Display Name: Force Closest GC Attrributes: Options: 0 Version: 327685 Computer Version: 5 User Version : 5 DSPath: LDAP://CN=User,cn={2CFAEE70-2785-4618-9BB6-33DB3620ABF3},cn=policies,cn= system,DC=xxx,DC=Corp,DC=Local FileSysPath: \\xxx.Corp.Local\SysVol\xxx.Corp.Local\Policies\{2CFAEE70-2785-4618-9BB6 -33DB3620ABF3}\User GPOName: {2CFAEE70-2785-4618-9BB6-33DB3620ABF3} Extensions: Raw Extensions: [{35378EAC-683F-11D2-A89A-00C04FBBCFA2}{0F6B957E-509E-11D1-A7CC-0000F875 71E3}] Registry Editor handled these Snapins: Administrative Templates (Users) lParam: (null) lParam2: (null) Link: LDAP://OU=Users,OU=Site Name,OU=Corp,OU=Service Delivery,DC=xxx,DC=Corp,DC=Local The GPO is linked to an organizational unit. \\xxx.Corp.Local\SysVol\xxx.Corp.Local\Policies\{2CFAEE70-2785-4618-9BB6 -33DB3620ABF3}\User\registry.pol Entries: Key Name: Software\Policies\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange Provider Value Name:DS Server Value Type: REG_SZ Value: h The "Value: h" line isn't the entire string, but this seems to be a winpolicies display problem as other policies listed in the output also just display 1 character from their value.
