Although MS Word cannot be disabled as the main text editor for Outlook 2007 and 2010, it does boast advanced text editing capabilities, so a backdoor solution to the above problem has been made available in the form of template saving. Unfortunately it is impossible to employ templates via a user interface. That’s why one has to resort to utilizing scripts in MS Outlook rules. The preparation of the template is achieved by saving an edited message: Menu, Save as, Outlook Template (.oft)

The following macro needs to be implemented:

Let's start by creating the signature. Go to File, Options and choose Mail. Once there select Signatures.

Select New, provide the name of the signature (the name will be used in later steps) and compose the signature text.

In this article, I will explain how to create an Exchange group calendar and make it synchronize with other Exchange folders in real time using an additional tool called CodeTwo Exchange Sync. The instructions shown below can be used in many different collaboration scenarios, e.g. when a public calendar needs to be updated automatically directly from users’ private mailboxes, or the other way round, when one calendar pushes schedules to the entire team.

Let’s begin with creating a public calendar on Exchange.

Such contacts can evolve, but unfortunately they are not permanently tied with the distribution list. This means that changing contact information and sending a message to a distribution list will not cause the intended effect. Unless the contact was deleted and replaced by an (almost) identical one, it should have a reference number partially consistent with the contact chosen in the list building phase.

e.g. contact has the number: “000000003921EFB12C34994594C86EC4DE706AB084092200”

1. Creating a file with the user list.

The first thing that needs to be prepared is a complete list of all new users and mailboxes in a CSV file (Comma Separated Values). The easiest way to do it would be to use Microsoft Excel, but even ordinary Notepad is able to create such a file. In the example below the users have been defined according to the following criteria:

There are two known ways of updating Active Directory pictures, which employ either using Exchange Management Console (EMS) or IDirectoryObject and IADsUser interfaces to upload an image to a user object in the Active Directory. The latter requires creating Visual C++ application, so lets forget about it. The trick with EMS is less complicated but equally cumbersome because it employs using Import-RecipientDataProperty cmdlet commands and does not allow bulk uploads or imports. It also requires you to meticulously prepare all image files to meet Active Directory photo requirements prior uploading them. 

There are some third-party tools already available that simplify the entire process, at least by adding a user's interface, but they are mostly paid. Fortunately, CodeTwo has released a tool called CodeTwo Active Directory Photos which does the job and does it absolutely for free. It also supports bulk photo actions in Active Directory so it's a tidbit for anyone struggling with AD management. Watch the video below to see how this freeware works.
