I added an E-mail account which worked. I also added a PST file and default
path - this did not work. When the user opens Outlook it prompts - (Personal
Folders) The information service has not been configured. Select an existing
file to configure, or type the name of a new file to create. After
clicking Ok, a dialog opens (Create/Open Personal Folders File) which points
to the My Documents folder, no the path I defined in the CMW. Anyone have
any suggestions how to make it work.
Office 2003 Pro.
 
What did you enter in the CMW as the path/name for the .pst file? If you like, just copy and paste the first 4 sections of the .prf file.
 
Thanks for the quick response

Microsoft doesn't support using network volumes to store .pst files, so I'm not surprised that a UNC path didn't work. You should specify a location on the local drive. You can use the %userprofile% environment variable.

Also, to create a Unicode .pst file, in this statement:

EncryptionType=0x40000000

change 0x40000000 to 0x50000000. Save .prf file and then deploy with the CIW or CMW.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately you are correct and I can't write this
path to a network location. I really appreciate your time!

Do you know of a way to use the CMW to insert a text message on all outgoing
mail, i.e a disclaimer notice?

Since Outlook has no such feature, you shouldn't expect to see it in the CMW. See http://www.slipstick.com/addins/content_control.htm for various methods and tools for controlling disclaimers and other signatures from the Exchange server, which is where such operations belong, IMO.
