Disable Exchange Cached Mode 2003/2007/2010

[stamandster 5]

So I adapted and adjusted an AutoIT script found here

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrclients/thread/c8b06311-3036-4d51-a028-3ee58ac536fd

The found script was a little slower than expected and it didn't really do anything but tell me what the values were. So I made it into a UDF (just to keep space clean in my scripts), allowed it find what outlook version existed and configured the setting appropriately. This could be adjusted to set Cached Mode to enabled if you so willed it.

Thnx for sharing

But wouldn't it be better to search the registry for the path of Office and check if outlook is available in the folder ?

Instead of assuming 32 Bits Office is installed on a X64 system

And Office 13 does not exist http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/ButWhy/There-is-no-Office-13-But-Why
