I have Outlook deployed on my user’s computers and share the Company contacts via a pst file. The contacts pst sits on a network share. When the user logs on, the network logon script calls up a batch file that copies the contacts pst file from the share to the root of their C:. When the user then opens their Outlook I have them go to FILE_OPEN_PERSONAL FOLDERS FILE (pst) and open the contacts pst from the root of their C:. Next, I have the user go to the properties of the contacts folder within the contacts pst and have them enable it as to show as an address book.
When the user shuts down Outlook and reopens it the contacts folder within the contacts pst will generally stay enabled to show as an address book, but, on some computers it’s not enabled. This occurs regardless of platform (Win 98 or Win 2k) or whether or not Outlook is configured for Internet Only or for Corporate/Workgroup, and not all users are affected.
Is there a way to insure that the contacts folder within this contacts pst can remain enabled to show as an address book at ALL times so I don’t have to hear my boss constantly asking me if I have this fixed yet? My ears are getting tired.
Thanks,
