[itdiscuss] Mac OSX entourage 2008 issue

[Bobby Stewart]

When we set up a Mac we find that many apps, especially Office and CS, will only work properly if the install is done while logged on as the end user. Our Macs are single user machines so it usually doesn't matter but it is annoying that another user can't use the apps when logged into their own profile. Any one else seen this behavior?

I have had this happen before.  Look in the local address book for an entry for that user.  Entourage creates an address book entry based upon the information you give it when you are registering.  Open that default entry and change the information within it to the personal information of the user for that computer.  If no address book entry is there, go ahead and create one for the user.  That should fix it.

Our Mac OSX.5 image is installed and registered under the name Information Technology Dept and Organization name
. Office2008 is installed and the name for the user that installed the application is IT Dept and the Organization name is the church name
.. 

 

One of my users is now reporting that when they receive email their display name in Entourage 2008 displays “Information Technology  Dept rather than the user’s name
. in the TO line.

 

Anyone know of a way fix it?
