setupOutlook.scpt, Is there a way to specify the Directory server

[johnklimeck]

The setupOutlook.scpt is working, pretty cool.

What are some of the ways to invoke the script upon logging in as an AD user with their AD account?

Might there be a way within this script or another, to specify the Directory service server under, Advanced > Server?

If so that would even more cool and a time saver.

Not sure why the Directory service server is not "auto configured".

It is frustrating for Mac users to not be able to search the "GAL" on initial setup (without a manual entry).

Thanks in advance

John

Edit: There is already a DirectoryServer property that can be filled in in that script, if its the one I'm thinking of. Just took a look at the copy I have. You need to assign something to it and it should work.

I actually had a different script. I found the 4.0.1 script. This one has the directory server property. Edited accordingly, working great.

I am doing it a bit differently, by pushing out via Self Service and then run a bash script that invokes the Applescript, weird but seems to work.

Is there any way to "bypass" the annoying MS Office initial screen where is asks for Name, Company, etc.?

Yes, look in Managed Preferences for this. Its called "Office 2011 - First Run Assistant Complete" I believe. Its in the template for Managed Preferences.
