Open Notepad
Copy and Paste
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWAR E\Microsof t\Office\1 4.0\Outloo k\Cached Mode]
"DownloadOAB"=dword:000000 00
Save FIle as something like OutlookDownloadOAB.reg
Then save this somewhere on a shared Drive that can be access by all users.
Then open another Notepad File
Add
@echo off
regedit.exe /s "\\ServerName\NetworkShare FolderPath \OutlookDo wnloadOAB. reg"
Save as OutlookDownloadOAB.bat
Then all you have to do is add this bat file to all users Startup
And the registry entry will be added
One thing I would do though, is double check your source for that Registry Entry
There is not normally aa Cached Mode Continer in the outlook Folder
and the downloadOAB (Download Outlook Address Book) Value set to 0, would only disable the download of the outlook Address Book as 0 is usually the setting for Disable
So if your confident, by all means go for it
If your not so confident, use extreme caution
Last thing you want to do is a re-install of office on all users PCs because of a dodgy registry key pushed out to all users
