Reset user info in Office 2007

My bad!!  I pushed out an image of Office 2007 to my users that has a username and initials that do not match the user.  How can I reset this information so that the next time they open the Office application, it promps them for their username and initials all over again?
Thanks!!

Hi,
I came across this in a VDI environment whereby after an user loggs off the VDI is deleted and a new one is created.
I created a small script to help me with fill in the blancs (USER Info) again
I log in in the VDI, so my user account is known. I call a command file from HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Run
In this command file I start wscript File.vbs AND %username% as parameter
wscript "C:\Program Files\VDI-Office-USR-Info\OfficeUserInf.vbs" %username% %windir%
The VB script is like this
Dim Arg, var1, var2
Dim objRegistry, strInti, strName, key1, key2
Set objRegistry = CreateObject("Wscript.shell")
Set Arg = WScript.Arguments
'Parameter1, begin with index0
var1 = Arg(0)
'Parameter2
var2 = Arg(1)
'msgbox "First parameter passed was " _
'       & var1
'Clear the objects at the end of your script.
Set objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
var1 = objSysInfo.UserName
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & var1)
'strFullName = objUser.Get("displayName")
'strFirstName = objUser.Get("GivenName")
'strLastName = objUser.Get("sn")
strInti = objUser.Get("mailNickname")
strName = objUser.Get("GivenName") & " " & objUser.Get("sn")
'MsgBox strFullName & " " & strFirstName & " " & strLastName
'MsgBox strName
key1 = objRegistry.RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Common\UserInfo\UserInitials",strInti,"REG_SZ")
key2 = objRegistry.RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Common\UserInfo\UserName",strName,"REG_SZ")
WriteReg = key1
WriteReg = key2
set Arg = Nothing
Problem solved

  • Want to export user settings from Office 2007 on client, to be able to import in Office 2013?

    Upgrading from Office 2007 to Office 2013. We may need to save the user settings on the client computer, because we are moving some of the systems from 32-bit to 64-bit. How can we export the settings to a folder?

    Hi,
    Could you please tell us what is included in user setting? Such as the customized Quick Access Toolbar settings, customize ribbon settings, or profile in Outlook?
    Generally, we can’t upgrade operating system from 32-bit to 64-bit directly, we need to reinstall 64-bit operating system.
    Office 2007 don’t provide the Import/Export button like Office 2010/Office 2013, we can’t export QAT setting and customize ribbon setting directly.
    To customize an installation of Office 2013, you can use the Office Customization Tool (OCT) to perform tasks such as the following:
    Specifying installation options
    Customizing how Office applications and features are installed
    Configuring default user settings
    Managing additional content: add or remove files, registry entries or shortcuts
    Configuring Outlook options: setting the default profile, adding email accounts, and specifying Exchange      settings

  • New Mac User Needs help opening Microsoft office 2007 files on a Mac!!!

    I just got a used ibook G4. I had an old Pentium upgrade IBM before. I love my Mac, but I need my old school files form my IBM. I have OpenOffice.org 2.2 for Mac OS X 10.4.11 and I have a file converter program called X 11 that opens with a huge list of options for converting files, but it dose not say Microsoft offices 2007 it says the version numbers. I tryed the latest version and It wouldn't open in OpenOffice.org. Should I use Apple Script instead? I don't have Apple Works do I need it? I just want to look at the files. Why is there not a office viewer for Mac?

    You have Tiger. Tiger=10.4.x; Panther=10.3.x; Leopard=10.5.x.
    If you are trying with OpenOffice 2.2, it might be worth updating. I have version 2.4, which is the latest. Since 2.4 fixes a security issue, you should update if you plan to use the application anyway.
    NeoOffice, as a previous poster pointed out, should be able to open Office 2007 documents.
    See the discussion at http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4542 for the main OpenOffice thread discussing this issue. It discusses the ODF converter at sourceforge which NeoOffice uses to open Office 2007 documents. Apparently, you can use it with regular OpenOffice, too, but if 2.4 doesn't come with it (and maybe it does - I haven't checked), it might be easier to use NeoOffice for now.
    X11 is not a file converter, by the way. It is the traditional unix GUI. Apple provides a version of this for OS X which enables you to run applications which haven't been ported to the native OS X environment. OpenOffice for Mac OS X uses X11 as do some other applications, such as GIMP, which you may have heard of/used. NeoOffice is a version of OpenOffice ported to the native OS X environment (i.e. it doesn't have to use X11). I haven't used it in a long time - I always use OpenOffice on X11 - but it is supposed to be very good now and should seem very familiar if you're used to OpenOffice. If you can't get OpenOffice to work with your files, you should definitely try NeoOffice before buying MS Office - unless, of course, you especially want to send MS a few hundred of your preferred currency.
    The other thing you can try, if you've still got Office on your IBM machine is converting the files there by opening them and choosing "save as...". That should allow you to select an earlier version of Word/Excel/... which OpenOffice should have fewer problems with. Since you may lose formatting this way, try the other options first. (Also, if you have a lot of files, this option will be very annoying to implement.)
    I do not think AppleWorks is likely to help. (I'm not sure if AppleWorks is even still available... somebody?) There are some suggestions Pages might help, but I would personally try the other solutions first. (On the other hand, I have a very old version of Pages.)
    AppleScript is almost certainly not what you want. It has nothing to do with AppleWorks. It is a scripting language.
    Good luck,
    cfr

  • User settings migrated from Office 2007 to 2013 using OCT

    Does anyone know what user settings are retained after upgrading Office 2007 to 2013 using the OCT? I have set the checkbox to migrate user settings in the OCT but all of the user's pinned documents are not longer there after the upgrade. Is this normal?

    Microsoft doesn't support migrating directly from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013, likely part of your decision to use a third party tool.
    I'm not familiar with these error messages, I suspect they're from DocAve and not SharePoint.
    My suggestion is to contact AvePoint support.

  • Adding user created templates into Office 2007/2010 using Group Policy

    I am trying to show some of our templates that we have created for work within Microsoft Office (work and excel) but I want them to show for everyone and not just 1 or 2 people. Being in a company that employ's 200+ people in multiple locations, the
    task to manually go around to each and every machine to point to a different set of templates seems very time consuming. I am wondering if there is a gpo and/or registry edit that can be used. Anybody's assistance is greatly appreciated!
    We have a mixture of Office 2007/2010. Server is a Win 2008 r2 standard.

    Hi,
    You can create and deploy custom templates using the steps below:
    1. Create your templates.
    2. Create thumbnail and preview files.
    3. Create an XML configuration file that describes the custom template, thumbnail, and preview files.
    4. Deploy a registry key that enables Office to read the XML configuration file.
    For more information, please refer to the following article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178976(v=office.14).aspx
    In addition, a simple way to achieve the goal is setting the file location for "Workgroup templates" and save the custom templates to the shared location,
    then users can select the templates via File > New > My Templates. To change the location, you can modify the
    SharedTemplates key under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\xx.0\Common\General].
    Hope this helps.

  • Office 2007 Outlook Not Accepting User Credentials

    I was setting up a user with Outlook 2007 so that he can check his email. The user is a domain user and his AD account is "synced" with his microsoft exchange account (Same password). Simple install, so it should have been straight forward. When
    initializing his email account, it asks for his password and username. we input it and hit ok. The box prompts again for the same credentials. It gives me 2 green check marks but the "log on to server" issue does not give me a check mark and continuously
    prompts for a username and password. The information is correct....
    Things I have done:
    I have already removed all of his MS Outlook credentials from credential manager.
    I have reinstalled Office 2007.
    I have also done other random tips I cannot remember.
    Any suggestions?

    Anyone have any suggestions to my issue? I attached a picture of the issue.
    I also have more details now. After the first time you enter the user credentials the "Remember me" box disappears as shown in the picture. The prompt then continues to ask for credentials. I can access the OWA with the same credentials and there
    is an ADF and I can login to the computer with the same credentials...

  • Outlook connector crashes with Office 2007 SP2

    Hello. Microsoft has started pushing out Office 2007 SP2, resulting in Outlook crashes for Connector users who apply the patch. The only workaround we've found is to restore the users's system with Windows Restore, and then hide SP2 with Windows Update. A Connector uninstall restores normal Outlook operation. A reinstall of the Connector does not fix the problem.
    We're running Outlook Connector 7.2.402.1.
    Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-8.04 (built Feb 28 2007)
    libimta.so 6.2-8.04 (built 19:28:07, Feb 28 2007)

    "the store was x is being reconciled with the indexer for the following reason: the store was last opened on a different machine."
    "the store x is being re-pushed to the indexer for the following reason: index reset, re-push entire store"
    Is there a solution? Will a patch will be issued for Connector 7.2? I haven't tried Connector 7.3 because our messaging and calendar servers don't meet its version requirements.
    David.

    We're seeing the same issue with Office 2007 SP2 and Connector 7.3 Update1. We're running JCS 5 (roughly Update 1 patches on top of it).
    Here's the MS error each time. I can click on Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks. As soon as I click on any email folder, crash.

    I also tried this with the Office 2007 Outlook Feature pack (also contained within SP2) that was released early for various performance fixes. Same error issue. I resolved by uninstalling the Feature Pack. I tried uninstalling SP2, no luck. I also tried uninstalling/reinstalling the SJ Connector, no luck.
    I will check desktop search, see if I can turn it off for Outlook and see what occurs.

  • Uploading files Mime Type not correct for Office 2007 default extensions.

    hi all,
    My company has recently moved over to MS Office 2007 and the default extensions for word, excel etc are now .docx, xlsx etc (ie xml based).
    Unfortunately now when we upload files through APEX to the database the MIME TYPE value for these files isn't being recognised and not loadeding correctly into the APEX_APPLICATION_FILES table and subsequently any future retrieval of these files fails.
    I could put some logic inthe up load procedure to look at the filename in APEX_APPLICATION_FILES and hard code in the releavnt mime types but this still causes problems when retrieving the content.
    Has anyone come across this and got a workround? Is it a bug in AE?
    regards
    James
    FYI - using APEX 3.0.2 over 11G.

    I have not any response to my question and not sure if it is in Apex I need to look or the tomcat server that I need to look. I have a useful application to try to show others what Apex can do for our customers to collaborate. However, most of our customers are using office 2007 so, hoping this is possible.
    I am using apex 3.2.0.00.27 if that helps someone to point me where to find more info on being able to have Word 2007 or excel 2007 fire up to open a .docx or .xlss file stored in a table blob column. Word or Excel does fire up to open .doc and .xls files.
    The following is the query for a report selecting the filenames uploaded into a blob column in my table:
    { SELECT s.ID, SUBSTR(s.NAME,INSTR(s.NAME, '/',1,1)+1,length(s.NAME)) SHORT_FNAME, s.SUBJECT
    FROM spp_attachments s
    WHERE s.PROGRAM_ID = :P2_PROGRAMID }
    Below is the stored procedure called from the link on the short_fname column in report query above.
    { create or replace PROCEDURE  download_file(p_file IN number) AS
    v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
    v_length NUMBER;

    Hi,
    Check your support package and patch level of your BEx Suite. BI 7.10 Support Package 6 Patch 1 works fine with Excel 2007.
    You might also want to check your installation using the file "sapbexc.xla"  on your hard drive. You should find it in C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\Bw or similar, although i'm not quite sure this works with BI 7...
    Bye

  • HT4759 How to Completely Uninstall iCloud? Office 2007 Save As Crashes

    I can no longer use "Save As" in Office 2007 since I enabled ICloud.  Word and Excel Crash. And Outlook does not seem to be about to send more than one email at a time.  I have to select the Send/Receive button right after I create a new email.  If I wait and create a second email, the first email in the outbox changes status from ready to send to cannot send.  And even if I open it and try to send it, it will not send.  I have to re-create it. 
    I want to know how to thoroughly uninstall ICloud.  Other posters on Microsoft (Girish M) and Apple (SkinnyNick) have indicated that the problem is related to ICloud.  And I can confirm that I started having problems right after enabling ICloud.  Here are the references:

    I spent a lot of time trying to trouble shoot this problem.  I ran the Office install to repair.  This did not work.  I uninstalled all Office 2007 related products.  I then manually purged all directories relating to office including the Common Shared Directories.  Then, I ran Microsoft's FixIt to uninstall Office to make sure everything was uninstalled.  Then, I reinstalled Office 2007 and it still failed.  I thought about installing Office 2010, but the second post (above SkinnyNick) indicates that this would not work.
    So, I am looking for a way to uninstall iCloud including that parts that is causing this problem.  Now, the second post (above) from
    SkinnyNick) says that he tried to uninstall iCloud but this did not fix the problem.  He finally reconfigured iCloud by de-selecting Outlook, but I would rather completely remove iCloud. 
    Can anyone provide instructions on how to completely remove iCloud so that my Office 2007 products will function again using Save As?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    As a Windows Application Developer who has more than 28 years of professional development experience, I can tell you that anything is possible in terms of how developers implement their applications. I have seen just about everything under the sun, and it would not surprise me if Apple's iCloud not only places files in key Windows directories, but it may use configuration information in a file as opposed to the Window Registry to control how their application behaves. And this would prevent “System Restore" from fixing the problem. Configuration information can be stored in many places. And, even if you do use the Windows Registry to control how your application works, you can key off of new files (like a user profile file) to control how your application to behaves. Csound1, you have been very generous with your time, and I am very grateful for your advice. Thank you.

  • Problems with MS Office 2007 and Tiger Server

    I have an Xserve hosting file services for Macs and PCs. There is a RAID attached to the Xserve storing user data and ACLs are enabled. Since installing Office 2007 on the PCs there's been the following problem which can be replicated -
    When saving an Excel or Word document back in the 2007 suite to the Xserve, the user will be unable to save the document if it is saved back for the third time. In Excel 'Unable to save document is reported'. In Word the document can't be saved due to a network error or a file permision problem being reported.
    The above is true for existing documents created in Excel or Word 2003, then saved in 2007 versions, which are on the Server, or for documents created using Excel or Word 2007.
    Users are logging on with different user accounts. They first log on to a Windows domain hosted by a Small Business Server then a drive has been mapped on their PC, to give thme access to the Xserve.
    As I said things were OK until Office 2007 was installed on the PCs.

    I'm having the same issue, allowing guest access on the share did change the logs I'm getting in Samba. Earlier on it was giving errors on the inability of guest access to the share.

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".

  • Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 won't create PDFs by itself or within an Office 2007 application. Please help.

    Well, needless to say, everything was working fine when our department was running Acrobat 7 and Office 2003. We made the choice a few weeks ago to upgrade to Office 2007 and Acrobat 8. Both are pushed via Group Policy. One other thing to note, as I think it might be an issue, is that our users have their My Documents redirected to a server. I only mention this, because the Default PDF Output Folder within Acrobat 8 is My Documents.
    Here are the strange things that we've noticed so far:
    1) When you open up the Adobe PDF Properties within Printers and Faxes, the Location displays an "x" followed by two non-standard box characters that I can't seem to write out here. I've uploaded a screen shot if that makes it easier. On a manually installed copy of Acrobat 8, this location box will say My Documents.

    2) The Adobe PDF printer port grabs LPT1, even if there is another printer already on that port. This behavior is seen when being pushed via GPO. When it's manually installed via the disc, Adobe PDF gets it's own special port "My Documents\*.pdf" with a description of "Adobe PDF Port". When I try to see if I can add such a port on the GPO pushed computers, it doesn't list it as an option. Here again are two screen shots to show what I'm talking about.
    Weird Port:

    Adobe Port:
    http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g223/daedalus42/adobe_correct_port.png
    Ok, so those are just the oddities seen after performing a GPO installation.
    3) When I right click on a Word 2007 (*.docx) file and choose "Convert to Adobe PDF", it asks me where I want to save the newly created PDF at. It will start converting it, but a few seconds later a balloon error pops up saying that the document failed to print.
    4) When I try to create a PDF via the Word 2007 ribbon add-on for Acrobat, I get the same error.
    I decided to bump a standard user up to administrator of the local machine. All these errors go away and they can create PDFs to their heart's content. As soon as I bump them back down to a standard user, new errors arise.
    5) Now when they try to create a PDF, they get prompted TWICE for the PDF Save As location. When I click on Convert to PDF via the context menu of the Word 2007 file, I get the Adobe PDF Status box, then a few seconds later, I get the Save Adobe PDF File As box. I tell it where to save the PDF to. I then get a second box asking me where to save the PDF to, but it's titled different. This new box is "Save PDF File As". Whatever location I choose there, I get an Access Denied error and an Adobe Printer error that the document has failed to print. I've created screen shots of those as well. Here they are in order:

    Does anyone have any solutions whatsoever to fix this? I'm not about to go around to 100 computers and install Acrobat manually when it should work correctly via GPO. If Acrobat doesn't like the fact that a user My Documents is redirected to the server, I noticed that I can change the default PDF file location within the Adobe Customization Wizard. I've not tested that yet to see if it would even help.
    I should mention that I have tried running a repair. Didn't help. Uninstalling and reinstalling via GPO. Didn't help. So, we've installed the Microsoft Office PDF Creator plug-in and that works perfectly. For the time being Acrobat Pro has basically dropped itself down to a reader for all intents and purposes.

    @ Bill@VT: I did try adding a port. That's the problem. When it's on a problematic installation, those special Adobe Port aren't available for me to choose from.
    OK, I have some new information regarding my issue. I've done some more testing and this is what I have learned and how I arrived at that conclusion.
    b It appears to be an issue with the 8.1.2 update.
    1) I manually installed Acrobat 8.0.0 via the executable file I downloaded from Adobe Licensing. I had to go through all the installation prompts, enter the serial key, accept the EULA, etc. I even applied the 8.1.0 update. At this point, everything was fine. Any user on this computer could create PDFs via any method. The Adobe PDF Port was correct and no listed under LPT1 like in the above screen shots. And My Documents was listed as the Default PDF Location, even though users have their My Docs redirected to the server. Like I said, everything worked perfectly.
    2) I decided to install via the Administrative Install Point (AIP) on the server for Acrobat 8.1.2 and the corresponding transform file. After doing this, the problems came back. My first assumption is that the transform file is causing the problem.
    3) To verify that it was in fact the transform file I perform an install from the AIP using the AcroPro.msi file only. No switches and no transform file. Guess what? Problems are still there. So, that wipes out the transform file problem.
    A couple of notes:
    It could be related to the AIP and doing administrative installation upgrades to 8.1.2. My next test is to install 8.0.0 from scratch and manually upgrade that installation to 8.1.0, then 8.1.1, then 8.1.2 to find out when and if it breaks.
    I was able to get a contact number for Adobe's "Volume Licensing" department, so I might end up giving them a call. In fact, even if I narrow down what appears to be the problem, I'm still going to have to give them a call to find out what can be done about it. Because at the moment, the issue is there for 100+ users and something needs to be fixed. All I'm doing at this point is working backwards to figure out what may have caused the problem in the first place.
