Help! Problem configuring Outlook XP ("Contacts")


Recommended Posts

I have used the Custom Installation Wizard to tweak my Office XP package, including using the Profile Tool. But one thing keeps happening -- after the install is done, I log onto the domain and open Outlook. But if I look at the properties of the Contacts folder and go to the "Outlook Address Book" tab, the "Show this folder" box is not only unchecked, it is greyed out!

I actually found out how to fix it manually:

I go to "Tools", "E-mail Accounts", "Add a new directory or address book", "Additional Address Books", "Outlook Address Book". After I restart Outlook, the Contacts folder is set up right:

The problem is, I really don't want to do that every time a new user logs on! Is there some way to set that up in my unattended installation? And if that can't be done, is there a way to simplify it, like with a BAT file or Group Policy?
