        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.
