Angela,

The following can be put in an ADM file to set the three values. This
*should* then prevent the popup box from appearing during the initial office
launch.

 

CLASS USER

CATEGORY "Your Company Name" 

POLICY "Set Microsoft Office User Info" 

KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Office\Common\UserInfo"

PART "Company Name"

EDITTEXT

VALUENAME "Company"

END PART 

PART "User Name"

EDITTEXT

VALUENAME "UserName"

END PART 

PART "User Initials"

EDITTEXT

VALUENAME "UserInitials"

END PART 

END POLICY 

END CATEGORY

Hi

Thanks for the email.  I would really like to implement this via an ADM file
in Group Policy if at all possible.

Thanks
Ang

Hi Angela,

 

You would need to pre-populate the
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Common\UserInfo Key with the UserName,
UserInitials, Company values.

You could either, create a login script that does this, create and ADM file
for the keys, include the values in your default user profile, or you could
enter this information at the Office installation time, when Terminal
Services redirects HKCU changes to the shadow area (though I won't recommend
this last option)

 

I am sure, someone with a little more time here, will be able to provide you
with some script snippets to include in a login script.

 

Cheers,

Christoph

Hi

I need to find a way to remove the MS Office User Name popup box that pops
up on first use when using office 2003.  We do not use roaming profiles so
our users get this popup on first use each day.  Has anyone suppressed this
popup via Group Policy?.  Has anyone created an ADM file to suppress this?

Thanks
Ang
