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..

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

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

Subject: [THIN] Office 2003 Suppress User name popup
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
