Office 2013 Customization Deployment Issues
I'm struggling with some customization of my Office 2013 Standard (x86) deployment. I have an admin install and using the customization wizard (setup /admin) I have created some defaults but I cannot seem to properly
1) Get a Normal.dotm to apply for Microsoft Word. I edited the various styles from its default (Calibri) to Arial and then save it to the "Add Files" part of the OCT to get placed in [AppDataFolder]\Microsoft\
2) I have tried to set default fonts for Outlook- This didn't really work in 2007 (as registry entries in the OCT) so I figured I'd try to deploy them to registry settings in a group policy. I have set them in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Of
2) The "places bar" settings don't seem to take at all. I have tried a path like H:\ and also UNC \\server\share to no avail. I can live without this one
3) Also wondering how people are deploying via Group Policy. I have a hack method of a batch file that searches for an install log file and it it doesn't find it, calls an install file that writes to this install file when it is finished.
4) Using a NewStationery registry hack to default stationery in Outlook to blank.html (and I deploy a blank.html file with the OCT). It works until someone changes the stationery then it sticks until the next time they log out, log back on (and the group policy this setting is under applies to the user account)
