Hello,
I would like to customize the look and feel of office post implementation.
I understand that the following registry key exists, and can be set via GPP:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Common\UserInfo
The two values I want to set are:
- UserName and UserInitials
I have found that by setting Username to "%username%" via GPP gives me the user's logon name. I have found other articles that state you can set the value of UserInitials to %username:~0,2% to get the first two characters of user's username.
The results of my testing however, reveals that when setting the UserInitials value to the %username:~0,2% it doesn't actually create the substring and assign the first two characters.
I realize that you could create a script in powershell, vbs, batch, and deploy it using group policy, or another deployment tool (sccm, etc.) to achieve the same thing, however I was looking for a simple way to do this via GPP.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Courtney.
