Customize OL 2003 labels in the network

[Philipp Kordowich]

Hello,

we want to customize the calender labels (colors) on all Outlook 2003
clients in the network (all connected to an Exchange 2003 server). Does
anyone know a way how to get this done without manually updating each
client?
I already had a look at the administrative templates, but the don't include
a setting for that.

Thanks,

Philipp

Calendar coloring labels is a local option set in the registry.

Actually, the label customizations are specific to each calendar folder (not
per-user) and are stored in an undocumented binary folder property. I don't
know of any successful attempts to hack the property.
