I saw others post links to the http://www.officeformachelp.com/ page, so I'm hoping that someone has gone through this already :)



I followed their deployment guide (with your help to fill in the confusing bits) for Outlook 2011, and everything is working fine except the outlook setup script 4.0.1. The instructions suggested to use it ((and I agree (huge inconsistency with how entourage was setup, depending on who trained the deployment tech's - determined if entourage was setup correctly or the end user had to open a ticket to get it fixed - and no amount of re-training seemed to help)) but I can't figure out how to get it to launch while using the scripted method of install of Outlook. I have the script configured, but the welcome screen comes up prompting for F-Name, L-Name and Company... then prompts normally for setting up the exchange account.



So I looked at the instructions in the Admin's guide that was included with the script and it shows I need to tell outlook in offline mode, create schedules, and something about user templates... but none of that was gone over in the original guide...



Any suggestions or is there a better way to do it?

@talkingmoose Does the script at the link above your last post work on El Capitan with Office 2011 14.6.2?

@Kyuubi, hmm... interesting question.



The AppleScript itself didn't really change much as far as the Outlook commands. It may very well work with 2011 (I think someone told me it did some while ago).



The triggering launch agent and shell script, though, will only work with the new Outlook 2016 folder structure.



The script might have a hard time too if both Outlook 2011 and 2016 were installed because both use the same application identifiers.



So, to answer your question... As it's designed today, it only works with Outlook 2016, but it could probably be adjusted to work with 2011.
