fantastic - that makes life a lot easier! Now I have a fix that can be implemented in 10 minutes, but will actually take 2 weeks because of the management red tape that has to be gone through before I can change a login script :o)
Thanks people Tim -----Original Message----- From: Erik Sojka [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 November 2001 13:49 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Calendar Entries after 2002 We added the following lines to our logon scripts (it is a reg value that needs to be changed): %0\..\REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Preferences /v FBPublishRange /t REG_DWORD /d 0x0000000c /f %0\..\REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Preferences /v FBUpdateSecs /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000384 /f (wrappage, etc & value may need to be tweaked for Outlook versions other than 2K) PublishRange is the number of months in hexadecimal (c=12 months) and UpdateSecs is the number of seconds between updates (hexadecimal). For accounts where no one logs in (like a conference room), you will need to log into NT under that account, and manually set those options via the Outlook GUI. ***************************** * Erik Sojka, MOS, MCSE * * Manager, Network Services * * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * ***************************** > -----Original Message----- > From: Boswell Tim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 8:45 AM > To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Calendar Entries after 2002 > > > Bingo!
