Jay,

That is the same thing that I'm doing. Althought the first time the user
logs on at a server the %appdata% variable in a ms-dos box is still pointing
to the %userprofile% directory.
Does anyone has an explanation for that ?

Tnx

Chris

In addition to setting the AppData value through policies, I also changed
the AppData value in the default user profile under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders

Hello,

I'm using the profile wizard exe from the office2003 ork tools to use flex
profiles. I also installed office 2003 sp1 and the signatures of outlook are
working as designed. Indeed, I'm also exporting and importing the Windows
Messaging Subsystem\profiles.

Another question, are you redirecting profile dirs like application data to
another path? If so, how are you changing the %appdata% variable the first
time a user logs in? The first time a users logs in the %appdata% variable
is still pointing to %userprofile%\application data directory. Although I
have changed the registry setting in hkcu\volatile environment.

I'm looking forward to read some feedback.

Tnx

Chris

I found the slipstream instructions, now I just need to redeploy the whole
thing :-(. Oh well as long as it works.  Tests are positive.

Did you slipstream the install or push it out with GPO?  I am trying to
figure out the easiest way to do this.

FYI - I loaded Office 2003 SP1 on our test system and it will now keep
signature settings that were set on other systems.

We use a program called Script Logic to create the profile, it creates the
profile. It does not create the profile if one exists. It does use prf files
as far as I know.  I am going to manually compare a couple of reg files I
exported and see what pops up.  Though the SP1 for Office is intriguing.

How do you create your Outlook profiles?

Do you run outlook with a PRF file (I seem to recall you saying you used
Outlook 2003).

Perhaps part of Windows Messaging Subsystem is being tattoed with the
current local machine name / identity, but possibly some comparison being
done with something in there already representing the local machine where
the signature was set.
