Office 2008 Deployment

Configuring Entourage 2008 preferences

You can standardize the settings for Entourage 2008 in your organization by configuring preferences for the application and then deploying these preferences to users on the network.

Important

Use the same administrator account each time that you customize settings so that all preferences are stored in the same folder on the computer. This is especially important if you will be using Workgroup Manager to manage preferences later. Workgroup Manager uses the preference files that are located in the home folder of the administrator who is currently logged in.

When you customize Entourage 2008, the information that you provide (such as preference settings and server names) is divided, in each of the following two locations:

The Entourage 2008 identity database under the active identity name (in

/Users/username/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 Identities/Main Identity)

The Entourage 2008 preference file, com.microsoft.Entourage.plist (in /Users/username/Library/Preferences)

To deploy the customized information, you deploy both the preference files and the identity database. The default name of this identity database and of the folder that contains the database is "Main Identity."

Note The Entourage 2008 identity stores mailing lists, rules, signatures, address books, tasks, calendars, account settings, Project Center information, and various preference settings. Before you deploy a new identity to a user's computer, you must do one of two things:

Back up any existing Entourage identity databases on each user's computer by making a copy of the database or databases that exist on that computer and storing this copy in a different location on the computer.

Rename the existing Entourage identities. You may want to create and deploy a script for renaming the existing identity or identities on each computer.

After you have deployed the Office 2008 applications, users can import information from their previous identities. For more information, see Entourage 2008 Help.

To set preferences in Entourage, on the Entourage menu, click Preferences.

The following sections provide examples of the different types of preferences that you can set in Entourage 2008.
