Use the Custom Maintenance Wizard (Maintwiz.exe) to update an existing Microsoft® Office 2003 configuration. The wizard reads the package (MSI file) and records the modifications in a configuration maintenance file (CMW file). When you run Maintwiz.exe on a user's computer with the /c command-line option, the changes in the specified CMW file are applied.

When you use the Custom Maintenance Wizard to create a CMW file, note the following:

• After you specify the MSI file and CMW file to use, you can navigate to any page of the wizard to modify settings. The wizard does not save your changes in the CMW file until you click Finish.
• The Custom Maintenance Wizard supports deployment scenarios typically found in enterprise organizations that acquire Office through a volume licensing program. For this reason, you cannot use the Custom Maintenance Wizard with a retail edition of Office 2003.
• Do not use the Office 2003 version of the Custom Maintenance Wizard with MSI files or CMW files created for a previous version of Office. The wizard allows you to cancel the warning message and proceed, but the resulting CMW file does not produce the desired results.

For more information about maintaining an Office installation, see Updating Feature Installation States and Application Settings.

For information about downloading and installing the Custom Maintenance Wizard, see Custom Maintenance Wizard.

Open the MSI File

Choose the MSI file that you used to install Office.

Name and path of MSI file to open

Enter the name and path of the package on the installation image. By default, the MSI file is located in the root folder of the Office CD or the root of the administrative installation point, in the same location as Setup.exe.

 Tip   The configuration maintenance file you create works only with the MSI file specified here. You cannot use it with another Office package.

Example:

\\server\share\Office 2003\Pro11.msi

Open the CMW File

Create or use an existing CMW file.

Create a new CMW file

Click Next to specify the path and file name.

Open an existing CMW file

Enter the name and path of a CMW file that you want to modify. You can create a new configuration maintenance file based on an existing CMW file by opening the CMW file and then saving it with a different name.

 Tip   If you use an existing configuration maintenance file, it must be compatible with the Office 2003 MSI file specified on the previous page of the wizard. For example, you cannot use a CMW file created for a previous version of Office or for another Office 2003 product.

Example:

\\server\share\Office 2003\MyCMWfile.cmw

Select the CMW File to Save

Enter a name and path for this CMW file.

Name and path of CMW file

If you opened an existing CMW file, you can save it with a different name and specify new settings for a different installation scenario.

 Tip   Save the CMW file in a subfolder of the administrative installation point, in the same folder as Maintwiz.exe.

Specify New Organization Name

Enter a new default organization name for all users who apply this CMW file.

Organization name

This name appears in the About box (Help menu) and on the banner pages of Office applications. If you specified an organization name when you created the administrative installation point, this option is set to <Default> in the wizard.

Set Feature Installation States

Change the way Office applications and features are installed on users' computers. To set a new default installation state for a feature in the feature tree, click the button next to the feature name and then select one of the available settings.

• Leave unchanged

  Keep the setting already applied on the user's computer.

• Run from My Computer

  Copy files and write registry entries and shortcuts associated with the feature to the user's computer and run the application or feature locally.

• Run all from My Computer

  Same as Run from My Computer, except that all child features belonging to the feature are also set to this state.

• Run from Network

  Leave the components for the feature on the administrative installation point and run the feature from there. This option is not available when you install from a compressed CD image and allow Setup to create a local installation source.

• Run all from Network

  Same as Run from Network, except that all child features belonging to the feature are also set to this state. Note that some child features do not support Run from Network; these child features are installed to run on the local computer. This option is not available when you install from a compressed CD image and allow Setup to create a local installation source.

• Installed on First Use

  Leave the components for the feature and all its child features on the administrative installation point or in the local installation source until the user first attempts to use the feature, at which time the components are automatically installed. Note that some child features do not support Installed on First Use; these features are installed to run on the local computer.

• Not Available

  Do not install the components for the feature or any child features belonging to the feature.

• Not Available, Hidden, Locked

  Do not install the components for the feature and do not display the feature in the feature tree during Setup. Users cannot install the feature by changing the state of the parent feature or by calling Windows Installer directly from the command line.

 Tip   To fully expand the feature tree, run the Custom Maintenance Wizard (Maintwiz.exe) with the /x command-line option.

Use the Reset Branch button to restore default feature installation states for the selected feature and all subordinate features in the feature tree.

Parent and child features

The feature tree is a hierarchy. Parent features contain child features, and child features can contain subordinate child features. For example, the Microsoft Word for Windows feature includes the child feature Help. The Help feature includes the child feature Help for WordPerfect Users.

If you update the feature installation state of a child feature to Run from My Computer, Run from Network, or Installed on First Use, the Custom Maintenance Wizard does not install a child feature unless the parent feature is also installed.

For example, if you apply a CMW file that installs Microsoft Office Excel 2003 add-ins, only users who have Excel installed get the add-ins. If a user does not have Excel installed, then the wizard ignores this setting in the CMW file.

For more information about applying a CMW file after an Office installation, see Updating Feature Installation States and Application Settings.

Change Office User Settings

Modify specific user-defined options in Office applications — for example, settings that might have been omitted from an OPS file. To configure an option, select the user-interface element in the tree on the left; all configurable settings associated with that element appear on the right. Double-click a setting and then select one of the following options:

• No Changes

  The setting remains as it is.

• Apply Changes

  The setting is modified based on your choices in the dialog box.

---

 Note   When you click Apply Changes to view a setting, and then click OK or Previous Setting or Next Setting, the status changes to Configured, even if you do not change the setting. Inadvertently configuring the setting with an empty hyperlink, path, or file name can cause errors in the application. If you clicked Apply Changes and wish to ignore your changes or avoid configuring the setting by clicking OK, click Cancel.

---

For more information about changing user settings after an initial installation, see Updating Feature Installation States and Application Settings.

---

 Note    When you run the Custom Maintenance Wizard with Microsoft Office Visio® 2003 and Microsoft Office Project 2003, the Change Office User Settings page is not displayed. To update Visio or Project with custom settings, run the Profile Wizard to capture and then distribute settings to users. Alternatively, you can manage Visio and Project settings by using Group Policy and the Visio 2003 policy template (Visio11.adm) or the Project 2003 policy template (Proj11.adm).

---

Add/Remove Files

Add files to, or remove files from, users' computers when the configuration maintenance file is applied.

Add Files tab

• Click the Add button, select the file you want to add to the installation, and click Add again. In the File Destination Path dialog box, enter the installation path for the file on users' computers. You can add files in groups, provided each group is installed in the same folder.
• To remove a file in the list, select it and click the Remove button.

When adding files to update an Office installation, note the following:

• Files are copied into the configuration maintenance file when you click Finish. Large files increase the size of the CMW file and the amount of time it takes to create the CMW file.
• If you revise a file that is currently attached to a configuration maintenance file, you must remove the file from the configuration maintenance file and then add the revised version.
• Files you add to a configuration maintenance file are not removed or replaced if the user modifies, removes, repairs, or reinstalls Office.
• Files added to the Remove Files tab are removed before files listed on the Add Files tab are installed. This behavior allows you to delete existing files on users' computers and replace them with new versions. If the target file on a user's computer has been renamed or modified since it was originally created, an added file with the same name does not automatically replace it.

Remove Files tab

• Click the Add button and enter the path and file name of the file you want to delete from users' computers. Paths must begin with a predefined Microsoft Windows token, a UNC path, or a drive letter.
• To remove any file in the list, select it and click the Remove button.

Modify button

To change the destination path for files being added or removed, select the file or files on the Add Files or Remove Files tab, click Modify, and enter a new path.

Add/Remove Registry Entries

Registry entries customized on this page may override settings customized on previous pages of the wizard. Use this page to customize options that cannot be set directly in the Office user interface and are not configurable through other wizards or tools.

Add Registry Entry tab

• Click Add to define a new registry entry and add it to the CMW file.
• Select an entry and click Modify to change the value of an existing entry.
• Select an entry and click Remove to remove a registry from the list of registry entries to be added.
• Click Import to add a set of entries from a registry file (REG file). If an entry in the REG file duplicates an entry in the Add Registry Entry tab, the wizard prompts you to choose whether to overwrite existing registry entries with those in the REG file.

Add/Modify Registry Entry dialog box

When you add or modify a registry entry on the Add Registry Entry tab, enter the following information in the Add/Modify Registry Entry dialog box:

• Root

  Select the branch that contains the entries you want to add or modify. Settings are applied once per user (HKEY_CURRENT_USER) or once per computer (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE). Under Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you cannot add registry entries to the root of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

• Data type

  Select a data type for the registry value.

• Key

  Enter the name of the subkey where the entry is stored. For example, Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common.

• Create empty key

  Select this check box if the registry entry does not contain a Value name or Value data. Some settings are determined by the presence or absence of a registry entry.

• Value name

  Enter a name for the new registry entry. If you include Value data but leave this field blank, the value is assigned the name <Default>. A key can have only one <Default> value name.

• Value data

  Enter the data (value) to store in the new registry entry. The data must match the data type.

Remove Registry Entry tab

• Click Add to specify a registry entry to remove from users' computers when you run Maintwiz.exe.
• Select an entry and click Modify to change the location or value of a registry entry already listed.
• Select an entry and click Remove to remove a registry from the list of registry entries to be removed.

Delete/Modify Registry Entry dialog box

When you add or modify a registry entry on the Remove Registry Entry tab, enter the following information in the Delete/Modify Registry Entry dialog box:

• Root

  Select the branch that contains the entries you want to remove.

• Key

  Enter the full name of the subkey where the entry is stored. For example, Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common.

• Value name

  Enter the name of the registry entry you want to remove. To remove the entire subkey, including all its value entries, leave the Value name field blank.

---

 Note    If a user modifies, removes, repairs, or reinstalls Office, registry entries that you add through a configuration maintenance file are not added again. Similarly, registry entries you remove through a configuration maintenance file are not removed again.

---

For more information about customizing user settings through the Windows registry, see Customizing User-Defined Settings.

Identify Additional Servers

Specify additional servers to use when the primary installation image is unavailable. Copy the original administrative installation point or compressed CD image to these backup locations. Windows Installer (or Office Source Engine, if your are using a local installation source) connects to the first available server in the list to install features on demand, run features from the network, or repair Office.

• To add a source to the list, click Add and enter the path to a network server.

If all users have access to the server with the same drive letter, you can use a drive letter in the path. You can also use a UNC path. The path can contain environment variables delimited by percent signs (%) if they are defined for all users.

---

 Note    The wizard does not verify the server path or attempt to connect to the server when you enter it in the list.

---

• To edit the path, select a server from the list and click Modify.
• To remove a server from this list, select it and click Remove.
• To change the order of the list, and the order in which Windows Installer or Office Source Engine checks for an available server, select a server and click the up or down Move arrow.

---

 Note    Selecting the Clear existing Server list check box deletes all the installation sources previously specified on users' computers and replaces them with the new list. To append additional servers to the existing source list, leave this check box blank.

---

For more information about creating a compressed CD image, see Taking Advantage of a Local Installation Source.

Specify Office Security Settings

Customize security settings for Office applications.

---

 Note    You cannot add Microsoft Office Project 2003 security settings to the CMW file on this page of the wizard. To update Project with custom security settings, use Group Policy and the Project 2003 policy template (Proj11.adm) to set security policies.

---

 Note   Security settings specified in a transform become the default settings on users' computers; however, users can change them after installation. To help lock down security settings, use policies. For more information, see Locking Down an Office Configuration.

---

Trusted publishers

Manage the list that identifies trusted sources for digitally signed macros, add-ins, Microsoft ActiveX controls, and other executable code used by Office applications. Unlike Office XP, Office 2003 applications now share a certificate-based trusted sources list with Internet Explorer.

Click Add to add a digital certificate (CER file). Adding the default Microsoft CER files ensures that all add-ins and templates are installed on users' computers with Office 2003 applications.

---

Toolbox   The Office 2003 Editions Resource Kit (ork.exe) includes the default Microsoft digital certificates (CER files) MSCert01.cer, MSCert02.cer, and MSCerto3.cer. The resource kit is available as a download. You can find this downloadable file on the Office 2003 Resource Kit Downloads page. It is also recommended to read the topic Office Information.

---

For more information about digital certificates and trusted sources, see Working with Trusted Trust Publishers.

Default security levels

Set default security levels for add-ins and templates and for Office 2003 applications.

Add-ins and Templates Security Level

Double-click Add-ins and templates and set security to one of the following levels:

• Do not configure the security level

  The transform does not modify the setting specified on the user's computer. New applications are installed with the default setting, which is Trust all installed add-ins and templates.

• Trust all installed add-ins and templates

  Users can run add-ins or templates already installed on their computers, including custom tools and add-ins and templates from previous versions of Office.

• Do not trust installed add-ins and templates

  Users cannot run add-ins or templates already installed on their computers. To retain use of legacy macros or custom templates, you must digitally sign and certify them with a certificate of trust issued by a certificate authority, and then add the source to the Trusted Publishers list. To retain add-ins and templates from previous versions of Office, you must add Microsoft to the list of Trusted Publishers.

---

 Note    If you set the default security level for Add-ins and Templates to Do not trust installed add-ins and templates, then add-ins and templates from previous versions of Office will not run unless you add the Microsoft certificate that was used to sign them to the list of Trusted Publishers. The CER files created for Office 2003 also cover Office XP versions of add-ins and templates.

---

Application Security Levels

Double-click an application and set security to one of the following levels:

• Do not configure the security level

  The transform does not modify the setting specified on the user's computer. New applications are installed with default settings; by default, all Office applications being installed for the first time have the security level set to High.

• High

  If a user opens an Office document that contains signed macros from an untrusted source, Office disables the macros before opening the file.

• Medium

  If a user opens an Office document that contains signed macros from an untrusted source, users are warned when the document contains executable code, but they can choose to open the file and run the macros anyway.

• Low

  No security check is performed when users open a file; any code and macros present in the file are allowed to run. This level is not recommended.

---

 Note    Security levels that you specify on this page of the wizard are applied even if the application is already installed on users' computers. If you are staging a deployment of Office and stand-alone Office applications, note that security levels in the transform overwrite any previously applied security settings on users' computers.

---

For more information about security levels in Office 2003 application, see Macro Security Levels in Office 2003.

Unsafe ActiveX initialization

Determine whether unsigned, and therefore potentially unsafe, ActiveX controls can initialize using persisted data. The registry key modified by this setting is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Common\Security.

• <do not configure>

  The transform does not modify the setting specified on the user's computer. New applications are installed with default setting, which is Prompt user to use persisted data.

• Prompt user to use control defaults.

  The user is warned before an application initiates ActiveX controls that might be unsafe. If the user trusts the source of the document, the control is initialized using its default settings.

• Prompt user to use persisted data

  The user is warned before an application initiates ActiveX controls that might be unsafe. If the user trusts the source of the document, the control is initialized using persisted data.

• Do not prompt.

  All unsigned ActiveX controls run without prompting the user. This setting provides the least protection and is not recommended.

For more information about ActiveX controls in Office 2003 applications, see Activex Controls and Office Security.

Disabling support for Visual Basic for Applications in Office applications

You can install Office 2003 without Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), which can be appropriated by malicious viruses. On the Set Feature Installation States page of the wizard, set the feature to Not Available or Not Available, Hidden, Locked. (Visual Basic for Applications appears under Office Shared Features in the feature tree.)

If you install Office without VBA, then no VBA macros will run on the computer. In addition to preventing malicious viruses, however, this setting also disables all features that rely on VBA, including many wizards, templates, and add-ins and all macros. Furthermore, you cannot install Microsoft Office Access 2003 without also installing VBA.

Disabling support for VBA does not protect you from other potential entry points for viruses, including ActiveX controls on a Web page or EXE files attached to e-mail messages. You can install VBA and still maintain a high level of security by using policies to enforce security settings.

Outlook: Customize Default Profile

Customize users' default Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 profile, which is the set of values in the Windows registry that defines user-specific information. An Outlook profile can contain multiple e-mail accounts. Users can have multiple Outlook profiles, but you can configure only one profile in the transform.

• Use existing profile

  Use the profile already configured on the user's computer, or prompt the user to create a profile the first time Outlook is started. Choosing this option disables the remaining Outlook pages in the wizard.

• Modify Profile

  Modify the default profile on the user's computer. If no profile exists, Outlook creates a profile based on the options you choose on the remaining Outlook pages of the wizard; the default profile name is Outlook.

• New Profile

  Create a new profile on the user's computer and make it the default profile; any existing profiles are not removed and remain available to users. You must enter a name in the Profile name box. This name appears in the E-mail Accounts dialog box in Outlook. Outlook creates the profile based on the options you choose on the remaining Outlook pages of the wizard.

• Apply PRF

  Import an Outlook profile file (PRF file) to define a new default profile. Selecting this option disables the remaining Outlook pages of the wizard but does not update the wizard with the settings in the PRF file. You can use any profile created for Microsoft Office Outlook 2003. Enter a name and path for the profile in the Apply the following profile (PRF file) box. If you created a PRF file for a previous version of Outlook, you can import it to Outlook 2003, provided that the profile defines only MAPI services.

If you install Office on a locked-down computer where the user does not have administrative privileges, then users cannot configure their Outlook profile after Office is installed. For more information about creating and configuring Outlook profiles for users, see Customizing Outlook Features and Installation With the Custom Installation Wizard.

Outlook: Specify Exchange Settings

Configure users' Microsoft Exchange settings in a new or modified Outlook profile.

Exchange Server connection

Do not configure an Exchange Server connection

Prompt the user for profile and account information the first time Outlook starts, unless a profile already exists on the computer.

Configure an Exchange Server connection

Configure settings for a new Exchange Server connection or replace the settings in an existing Exchange Server connection.

• User name

  Identify the user with a specific value or replaceable parameter. If you use the default %USERNAME%, then Outlook uses the user's logon name.

  You can specify =%USERNAME% to use the exact logon name provided, rather than prompting users with possible variations when Outlook starts.

• Exchange Server

  Enter the name of an Exchange server that is likely to be available when users start Outlook. When each user starts Outlook for the first time, Outlook replaces this value with the user's correct Exchange server.

  Provide only a literal server name in this text box; for example, Exch-2-Srvr. Do not include backslashes (\\) or similar syntax.

• Overwrite existing Exchange settings if an Exchange connection exists

  Replace an existing Exchange Server account in the user's profile with this account.

Microsoft Exchange Server dialog box

When you are configuring an Exchange Server connection, click the More Settings button to set up user accounts for offline use or to configure Outlook to connect to an Exchange mailbox by using an HTTP connection.

Select the Enable offline use check box and provide the following information:

• Path and file name of the Offline Store file
• Directory path to store Offline Address Book

---

 Note    These options are not equivalent to enabling the Cached Exchange Mode feature. However, if Cached Exchange Mode is configured, then Outlook uses the Offline Store file (OST file) defined here. For more information, see Setting Up Outlook 2003 Cached Exchange Mode Accounts.

---

Select the Connect to Exchange Mailbox using HTTP check box and provide the following information:

• Use this URL to connect to the proxy server for Exchange
• Connect using SSL only

  Mutually authenticate the session when connecting with SSL

  In the Principal name for proxy server box, specify a name for the proxy server to use for mutual authentication.

By default on a fast network, Outlook attempts to connect by using the LAN connection first. On a slow network, Outlook attempts to connect by using HTTP first. You can override default behavior in either case by changing the following settings:

• On a fast network, connect using HTTP first, then by using the TCP/IP

  To change the default behavior for fast networks, select this check box.

• On a slow network, connect using HTTP first, then by using the TCP/IP

  To change the default behavior for slow networks, clear this check box.

In this dialog box you can also select an authentication method to use when connecting to the Exchange proxy server:

• Use this authentication method when connecting to the proxy server for Exchange

  Select an authentication method. The default method is Password Authentication (NTLM).

For more information about connecting to an Exchange server using HTTP, see Configuring Outlook 2003 for RPC Over HTTP.

Click OK to return to the Outlook: Specify Exchange Settings page of the wizard.

Cached Exchange Mode

Use the following options to configure users' Outlook profile to use a local copy of the Exchange mailbox:

Do not configure Cached Exchange Mode

By default Exchange mailboxes are accessible from the Exchange server, rather than being cached on users' computers in an OST file.

Configure Cached Exchange Mode

Create an Offline Store file (OST file) or use an existing OST file; users work with a local copy of their Exchange mailbox. (You specify a file name and folder for the OST file by clicking the More Settings button on this page of the wizard.)

Configure additional settings for using Cached Exchange Mode.

• Use Cached Exchange Mode

  Select this check box to configure Cached Exchange Mode for users, and then select one of the following options:

  • Download only headers

    Download copies of headers only from users' Exchange mailboxes.

  • Download headers followed by the full item

    Download copies of headers from users' Exchange mailboxes, and then download copies of messages.

  • Download full items

    Download copies of full messages (headers and message bodies) from users' Exchange mailboxes.

In addition, you can choose one or both of the following Cached Exchange Mode options.

• On slow connections, download only headers

  Turn off default behavior by clearing the check box. By default, Outlook detects when users have a slow connection and automatically switches to downloading only headers from users' Exchange mailboxes.

• Download Public Folder Favorites

  Download users' Public Folder Favorites to the local cache; the check box is cleared by default. This setting can create very large OST files.

Outlook: Add Accounts

Include new Outlook e-mail accounts in the user's profile. (You may have already added an Exchange account on the previous page of the wizard.)

• Do not customize Outlook profile and account information

  Do not add accounts to a new or modified Outlook profile.

• Customize additional Outlook profile and account information.

  Specify new account information in a new or modified Outlook profile. The first time the user starts the application, Outlook creates a profile based on information you specify in the wizard, including the information on this page.

When you add additional accounts to an Outlook profile, the wizard allows you to specify the following:

• Click Add to add an account to the list. You can configure this account in the MST file by clicking Next and entering information in the Account Settings dialog box.
• Select an account in the list and click Modify to make changes to the account.
• Select an account in the list and click Delete to remove it from the MST file.
• Deliver new mail to the following location

  When you configure an Exchange server or add a Personal Folders file (PST file), select this option to specify a delivery location for new e-mail messages. The default location is the Exchange server, if one is configured; otherwise, the location defaults to the PST file on the user's computer.

Account Settings dialog box

When you add or modify an account, the wizard displays options appropriate for that type of account in the <Account> Settings dialog box.

• Enter the information appropriate for the account, such as account name, user name, mail server, and e-mail address.
• Click More Settings for additional configuration options.
• Click Finish to save the information in the MST file and return to the Outlook: Add Accounts page of the wizard.

To help ensure that e-mail services do not overlap, Outlook may not allow you to add more than one new account for the same type of service. For example, Outlook verifies that all POP accounts have unique names. The following table shows how Outlook determines whether a new account of the same type as an existing account can be added to the MST file.

Outlook: Remove Accounts and Export Settings

Remove existing e-mail accounts or export settings to a PRF file. The option to remove accounts is available only when you select Modify Profile on the Outlook: Customize Default Profile page of the wizard.

• Remove the following accounts if they exist

  Select Lotus cc:Mail or Microsoft Mail to remove these accounts from users' computers when Outlook first starts.

Export Profile Settings

Click the Export Profile Settings button to save Outlook profile settings defined in the wizard in a PRF file.

 Tip   An efficient way to create an Outlook profile file (PRF file) is to use the Custom Installation Wizard to make your selections and then export them to a PRF file — even if you are not using a transform to deploy Office. You can edit the PRF file to make additional customizations not exposed in the wizard. For example, you can add an e-mail provider not listed in the wizard.

Outlook: Customize Default Settings

Customize default application settings for Outlook.

Migration options

• Convert Personal Address Book (PAB file) to an Outlook Address Book

  If Outlook detects a PAB file on the user's computer, convert it to an Outlook Address Book.

Outlook default settings

• Customize Outlook e-mail defaults

  Select default settings for users' e-mail messaging. If you leave this check box empty, Outlook uses default settings.

  • Default e-mail editor

    Choose Outlook or Microsoft Office Word 2003 as the default e-mail editor. (The default is Wordmail.) Choosing Word is equivalent to selecting Use Microsoft Word to edit e-mail messages on the Mail Format tab (Tools |Options menu) in Outlook. Note that this setting does not determine the format of outgoing messages created by the user in Outlook. In order to use Wordmail with Outlook 2003, you must install Word 2003.

  • Default e-mail format

    Select the format for outgoing messages created by the user in Outlook. Options are html, rich text, or plain text. (The default is html.)

Outlook: Specify Send/Receive Group Settings (Exchange Only)

Define Send/Receive groups for Exchange accounts and folders, and specify the tasks that are performed on each group during a Send/Receive in Outlook. A Send/Receive group contains a collection of Outlook accounts and folders. You can specify different options for Send/Receive groups when Outlook is online and offline.

Do not configure Send/Receive settings

Do not configure settings for Send/Receive groups. Outlook is configured with only the All Accounts group and its default settings. (If users have created additional groups, those groups migrate when users upgrade to Outlook 2003.)

Configure Send/Receive settings

Configure settings for Send/Receive groups (Exchange accounts and folders only).

Send/Receive groups

• Click New to create a new group of accounts and folders and enter a name in the New Group Name box.
• Click Modify to specify or redefine options for a Send/Receive group.
• Click Rename to change the name of an existing Send/Receive group.
