Default Install an *.oft local - how?

Hi!


I got a *.oft file which I have to distribute. We don't want to use Exchange
Folder because the form is only usefull for one location.

Is it possible to distribute via SMS? I thought about a small batch file
which copies the file from a server share to the client's programms
directory. Is it possible?

What do you recommend?

many thanks in advance

It's just a file. You can use any method you normally use to distribute files to users.

The real question is, what is the purpose of this .oft file? If it's anything more than a boilerplate message template, it's not likely to work as an unpublished form.

Hello Sue,

outlook clients manually?

thanks

Again, it's just a file. You can put it in any folder you want. There is no client configuration involved in using .oft files.

However, you didn't answer my question about .oft file's purpose. An ..oft file may not even be appropriate for what you want to accomplish.
