While setting up Macintosh Manger accounts for some of our staff, I found
out the hard way that Entourage does NOT store the Microsoft User Data
folder in the System defined "Documents" folder, it does it in the explicit
(path to startup disk) & "Documents" folder. (IIRC, OE5 DID work properly in
this regard)
In Macintosh Manager, the documents folder for each user is actually held on
the server, not on the client, and Entourage *should* be honoring this, but
instead it uses hard disk:Documents:Microsoft User Data. How it does this
is a mystery to me, because unless the user is logged in as system access,
even the user can't open the Hard Disk:Documents folder, but somehow
Entourage can access it's contents, despite what I thought were blocking
permissions.
Does anybody know a workaround to make Entourage store it's data in the
server "Documents" folder? Making an alias to the "Office 2001 Identities"
folder may be possible, but is very difficult, since you must be logged in
as a user to see the Macintosh Manager volume, and you CAN'T get into the
hard disk:Documents folder while doing so. Nor can you mount the Macintosh
Manager volume when you are logged in with System Access... Quite a few of
our staff like Entourage, but we HAVE to have roving computer capability as
provided by MM, so currently most of them are using Netscape.
