Same "look & feel"

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to give all the corporative mails the same "look & feel" and
first of all I'd like that everyone use the same font and the same size of
font...
We've got Exchange 2003 with Outlook 2003 clients. I've tried to use Outlook
2003 adm files, the Office 2003 resource kit... but it does not work!

Can anyone help me, please?

Thanks,
Petrus

"but it does not work"
In what way? What method are you using to deploy/force the settings? Do
settings configured for other applications apply succesfully?

From the first book in my signatu

The default mail font is an option that you cannot set by simply typing some values into the group policy editor, CIW, or CMW. One way to set a default font for new messages is to use custom stationery, but this affects only HTML-format messages. The other method is to set the appropriate registry values, but the font registry settings are not something you can just type in. In fact, they are not even found in the Outlook portion of the registry! Instead, Outlook’s font settings are located in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\C ommon\MailSettings key, probably because this information is shared by Outlook and by Word, when Word is used as the email editor (a configuration known as WordMail).

You can either export the MailSettings key from the registry of a machine configured the way you want it and then import that .reg file into the CIW or CMW, or you can use the Office Profile Wizard to capture and deploy these settings.

Thankyou very much Sue!!

I've exported MailSettings key and then I've distributed it throught GPO
startup script (regedit /s MailSettings.reg). I'm doing some test and, at
the moment everything goes right!

By the way, do you know if outlook leaves a key about the signature in the
registry?

Thanks again,

Petrus

Signatures are *much* more complicated, because in Outlook 2003, they are configured per-account. See http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=821 for sample code.
