[THIN] Re: Office 2003 Suppress User name popup

I did this years ago (Office 97 first, then Office 2k, the Office 2k3)
with a Kix script, if you search the archives you'll find it.
 
The reg value will depend on the version of office.

        Hi
        
        Very good point.  I neglected the username setting.  Im assuming
you cannot set %username% in the ADM file..
        
        Im willing to try a VB file.  I found this on the Internet but
it doesn't work as I get error "Registry Editing has been disabled by
your administrator".  We do disable registry editing via a GPO so I need
code that will not interfere with this..
        
        Regards
        Angela

        Hi Angela,

        

        I would only ever do this via a cmd, VBScript, or Kix script.
Taking care of the Company value is not a problem, but you want to
individually set the UserName to the actual user of that session. If you
do it through an ADM template, all users will have the same name, or you
need to change the REG_SZ value to a REG_EXPAND_SZ and use %USERNAME%.
Then you need to deal with the UserInitials. So how would you derive
that? Typically it's the first letter of the username. You may also be
able to change that to a REG_EXPAND_SZ and use %USERNAME:~0,+1%, which
will return the first letter of the username.

        

        All this is very simple to achieve with a script to ensure that
all users have personalised settings. You could also use the new GP
Preferences too.

        

        Not a lot of help because I don't have a script you are looking
for, but hope that helps you down the right path.

        

        Cheers,

        Jeremy.

        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
