OK here it is from the Citrix Support Forum:
Nigel S Davison
on 07/22 at 09:24 AM MetaFrame Outlook Reminder
Outlook Reminder
OK...here goes...this one SEEMS to work and I am testing further at the
moment:
The problem is caused by a bug of Outlook 2002, which appears only under
the following conditions:
a) Use of more then one Terminal Servers
b) Use of Roaming Profiles
c) The Users don't log on to the same TS every time
Outlook 2002 checks the following Registry Key at outlook startup:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Setup\First-Run
When it checks this, it checks to see if outlook has been run before on
the specific machine, by comparing this key to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Setup\First-Ru
n
if the values are not identical, Outlook will execute a First-run again
NOW...HERE IS THE CRUNCH...WHEN AN APP IS INSTALLED IN CHANGE USER MODE,
THE VALUE OF hklm WILL NEVER BE SAVED...THEREFORE, THESE KEYS WILL
DIFFER.
During this First-Run, the Reminder Table in the Mailbox will be
rebuilt. and here is the Problem. Outlook tries to get access to a table
which is not available yet. Still, the table will be rebuilt correctly.
The next time Outlook is be started, the reminders are displayed
correctly.
So if you
- Start Outlook
- terminate it
- And restart it within the same TS-Session, the reminders should be
displayed correctly
here is my fix....I am using a kix script and have added the following 2
lines:
$outlookset =
Readvalue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Set
up"
, "First-Run")
writevalue
("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Setup"
, "First-Run" , $outlookset , "REG_BINARY")
this reads the line in HKLM and writes the same entry to HKCU.
I HAVE REMINDERS.
This is under test so please don't shout at me if it doesn't
work...but...so far...so good
Nigel

I have reports of it occuring in NT4 and W2K (I am running NT4). Also
with Exchange5.5 and Exchange2000. This includes Exchange5.5 on NT4 and
W2K as well.
Bruce, any help with that registry key would be great. That's the first
concrete information I have heard on the issue.

I have had an open case with microsoft on this.....but they have not
been able to figure out what it is.... Is this happening with any of you
with a windows 2000 / mfXP FR1 setup or NT4 FR1 setup....I am trying to
determine if NT4 and outlook xp don't mix....but have not been able to
get a windows 2000 box up to test yet....
Thank You,
