Change default location of new Outlook profiles

[sweety_devil]

Hi,

 

We will deploy Outlook 2007 soon.

We created a package with OCT and SCCM.

We have used "forcePSTpath" to open directly an outlook data file where we want and it is working fine.

 

But we have a problem, we can't change the default location of the archives.

By default when we click on archives, the path is "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook". We wanted to change to "M:\" for all new profiles.

 

We know there is a key "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\profilename\0a0d020000000000c000000000000046]" we can change to do that but just for the active user and not for a default configuration.

 

Can you help me ?

 

Thank you.

Maybe under [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\ ?

Under [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\ but what should I do after ?

Create a key nammed 0a0d020000000000c000000000000046 ?

Or created a key profiles ?

Hmm i guess not since the profilename is different everytime right?

 

You are going to use multiple users on the same pc?

 

I dont have Outlook deployed on our company but check these two links and let me know if it helps...

Yes the problem is on each pc we will use the name of the user.

 

Actually the problem is when we create a mail profile, the patch for archive is C:\documents and settings ...

 

What I want to change is when a new profile is created the path shoul be M:\archives.pst and not C:\documents and settings ...\archive.pst.

 

So how I change the default configuration of the creation of a profile in windows messaging ?

 

Thank you.
