automation - Automatically setting up an Outlook IMAP account using a PRF file and disabling the 'remember password' setting -


According to the instructions and specifications I mentioned, I am using a PRF file to automate setup of users in Outlook I here:. A GPO property has been created to pre-configure the user's Outlook account with their original details (using the aforementioned PRF file), when they log on to a computer for the first time. I would like all users to enter their password in the username / password prompt when they first open Outlook. However, it is not happening Outlook is trying to connect to the mail server without prompting the user. I suspect because this account is being created with the 'Remember password' check. Since there is no password, the connection is failing.

The email account is setup for the first time, so how can I decide that this option will be 'unchecked' by default?

In PRF file there is a property in Section 6 (mapping for profile properties) that looks closer to:

  RememberPassword = PT_BOOLEAN, 0x6606   

But I do not know what to do with it. It is not unfortunate as straightforward or false.

Windows Messaging Subsystem \ Profile [[Name Name] \ 9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676 \ [Account Index] \ Remember AMAP Password

But GPO property that I set this value to 0 (Off / Fotal) Is setup for when the user starts Outlook and the PRF loads Education is the user being logged on to the computer.

Am I seeing it wrongly? Can you suggest another solution to get the same thing?

I am using Outlook 2007 on GOP (no Exchange server) through Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and IMAP accounts.

To simplify the process as possible for the user, and to reduce user error For, in the PRF file I was populating before the user name, I want the username / password dialog that the user name is already set. **************************************************************************************************** ************************* Section 5 - Values ​​for each internet account. ; **************************************************************************************************** ************ [Account1] ... IMAPUserName=user@domain.com ...

Do not do that. If set, Outlook tries to connect to the mail server, even if the password does not connect without asking it ... and later fails.

I have since removed this setting from the PRF file and the username / password dialog box is now displayed when Outlook first starts. Users can now enter their credentials before trying out Outlook to connect to the mail server. Negative side, users have to enter both the user name and the password, but I can live with it.

The end result:

 ; ******** ****************************************************************************************** ******** *****; Section 5 - Values ​​for each internet account. ; **************************************************************************************************** ************ [account1] ...; - If the line below is inappropriate, the password prompt is not displayed. ; - Commented with it, the user has to enter both the user name and the password, but at least this works! ; IMAPUserName=user@domain.com ...
