[THIN] Re: Office 2003 Suppress User name popup

Angela,

The following can be put in an ADM file to set the three values. This *should* then prevent the popup box from appearing during the initial office launch.

 

CLASS USER

CATEGORY "Your Company Name"

POLICY "Set Microsoft Office User Info"

KEYNAME "Software\Microsoft\Office\Common\UserInfo"

PART "Company Name"

EDITTEXT

VALUENAME "Company"

END PART

PART "User Name"

EDITTEXT

VALUENAME "UserName"

END PART

PART "User Initials"

EDITTEXT

VALUENAME "UserInitials"

END PART

END POLICY

END CATEGORY

Hi

Thanks for the email.  I would really like to implement this via an ADM file in Group Policy if at all possible.

Thanks
Ang

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

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
