Setting Outlook Categories with Group Policy

[Dave Nickason]

I was told that I could set users' Outlook categories using the group policy
template from the Office Resource Kit. I installed the outlk10.adm
template, but can't find anything about categories. Is this wishful
thinking, or am I looking in the wrong place?

I don't believe there's a group policy for the master category list, but you could, in theory, add your own to the .adm file. (I haven't tried it, but it could be a useful experiment.) You can also set a default set of categories with a registry entry or script. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/olcat.htm
