Hey all... I was wondering if it is possible to set the default font vi
script or registry? I have 160 workstations running OutlookXP o
Windows 2000 Professional and we are changing our company's logo.
already wrote a KIX script to change the signature files, however th
default font for creating e-mail messages must now the Ariel.
(Currently Times New Roman) I figure I can add/modify a regkey bu
thus far I have googled everywhere without any results.

Any help/ideas is much appreciated!

Thanks

The key where the email font is:
HKEY_USERS\*-SID#*-\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\MailSettings\ComposeFontSimple
It is a binary key and contains other data wrapped around the font
name. I assume that some of the other data is the font size and style.

Ex. Comic Sans MS in HEX
3C 00 00 00 0F 00 00 E8 00 00 00 00 C8 00 00 00 F8 05 52 00 00 00 80
00 00 40 43 6F 6D 69 63 20 53 61 6E 73 20 4D 53 00 01 00 00 00 01 00
00 00 C8 EB 12 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00

"43 6F 6D 69 63 20 53 61 6E 73 20 4D 53" = Comic Sans MS

Although, to set this value for all your users, you will need the sid
numbers for your users and be able to map them to the usernames.

So in other words, this is completely impractical. Anyone know of
way to do this without mapping each and every SID on the domain t
userIDs? Perhaps even a command and/or script that will take in userI
and return SID
