Using .bat script when Server Address is stored under user’s email profile

By Admin Guide, Out'n About! for Outlook, Tips and Resources 0 Comments

Symptom:
If you want to deploy a server IP change to users using group policy changes, but the key is stored in a user’s email profile – as opposed to the standard location.

Solution:
Create a .bat script similar to this structure. Your specific environment may require some changes to this script:

REG ADD “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Intellicon\Out’n About! for Outlook\%USERNAME%@[emaildomain.com]” /v “Server Address” /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d “192.168.1.50”

Additional Solution:
You can download this step-by-step Word document, replace {IP Address} in the instructions with the new server’s IP address, and send this to your users.
