Why do you need Outlook open in the first place? So long as all your users are using Outlook 2000 then you can setup a mailbox to act as a resource and automatically respond to meeting requests without having it logged in. If you are not using Outlook 2000 then you can setup a script to automatically accept appointments, again it doesn't need to be left logged in.

I also have no problem editing the registry my only concern with Q310584 is that the password is kept in plain text, not a real big deal because I am sure I can protect the key. This server is 2k but I have many NT servers so I should be able to pull up the Autolog.exe. Or maybe I will do the registry Hack (sorry to use Hack it just sounds cooler then modify). By the way I have "hacked" the registry with ill effects but I didn't know what I was doing as is usually the case. I will never be accused of being holier than thou. Alex, With the TSWEB I can just select shutdown from the start menu but as with the shutdown command it will not log me back in. I can log in and start the apps but when I log of the apps close. MS really does need to create a way for apps to be running wile it is not logged in I have the same problem on an NT 4 machine that is running a distiller. This server is almost never shutdown though. I hope we can all still be friends :) -----Original Message----- From: Todd C.

Any admin worth his/her salt knows how to "play" with the registry, and has no problem with it. And I agree with almost every statement you make. But why do something when you don't have to? To make my car run better, I *could* tear down the engine every 5,000 miles, but I prefer to just change the oil... (Now let's just smile, shack e-hands, and move on, shall we??) :-) :^) :-D Justin - AUTOLOG is on the NT4 Server Resource Kit CD; I don't think you ever mentioned what OS you are actually working on? I know it works on any NT4/2000 machine though. And since I didn't HACK THE REGISTRY (<G>) when I used it, I don't know how it stores the info. I can send it to you privately if you'd like; a search on MS-KB for AUTOLOG will probably tell you as much as I can, too. Todd C.
