[THIN] Re: Office 2003 Suppress User name popup

Hi

Im having lots of issues finding a VB script that will update this office key.  Does anyone have a VB script that will update this.  Id like to have the script interrogate AD so the real user name is used but anything is better than nothing.  Even if it populated the user key with a generic name I would be happy.

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
