Automating Outlook(2003) Adressbook, visability after install
Hi there,
After an Outlook 2003 installation, in my situation to a 2000 Exchange box. The Outlook Address Book needs to be made to appear. Following some simple steps as below. (Adding as service, and making visable) As per MSKB article. http://support.microsoft.com/default...Product=ol2002 Basically I have a rollout, upgrading approx. 600 machines to Outlook 2003. After some sums, it will add about 2.5 days work on the rollout, doing this part manually for each user (say 2 minutes for each profile). I was hoping someone might be able to lead me in the right direction for automating the process of making the Outlook Address Book visible after a user has logged in. I've read some posts mentioning scripting that could be done through outlook, but not sue where to start. And the idea of having the end-user perform this function sends shivers down my spine. Thanks in advance, jtsm |

The below options still did not solve the issue. I've included Sue's original
reply. After making all these changes, and different combinations. I was still unable to have this visable by default.
