If you are using tools like Microsoft Systems Management Server, you can distribute the application and the application settings to different computers in your network.
Please note: this option is available only with Multi User license.
Application components:
The Following application components must be copied and registered on the target PC:
regsvr32 GatWCrypto.dll
regsvr32 DBContact.dll
regsvr32 OutlookInterface.dll
regsvr32 OutlookConnect.dll
regsvr32 GeniusNTLog.dll
GeniusConnect is registered (by default) as Outlook Add-in per user:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\OutlookConnect.OutlookConnection.1
If you want to register GeniusConnect for all PC Users copy the Add-in registry key to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins\OutlookConnect.OutlookConnection.1
The Following application components must be copied to the target PC:
Outlookconnect.chm
GCScheduler.exe (only if you are using extern scheduler on the clients)
Keyoti.RapidSpell.TXSupportv12.dll (only if you are using swiftpage mail marketing)
Keyoti.RapidSpellMDict.DLL (only if you are using swiftpage mail marketing)
SpeDesk.exe (only if you are using swiftpage mail marketing)
Settings:
All settings and Folder links are stored in registry
The Folder link settings are stored in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Genius@Work\GeniusConnect\Folders\<ENTRY ID>.
Entry ID is unique identifier of an Outlook (Exchange) Folder.
The “FolderPath” Key contains original path of a Folder (only Folder Name for Outlook 2000).
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Genius@Work\GeniusConnect\Folders\<ENTRY ID>\FolderPath
If the folder path contains a user specific value, you can change it to a relative path.
Example 1-default calendar folder
Folder path: \\Mailbox - Administrator\Calendar
Relative path: \Calendar
Example 2-Calendar in a subfolder
Folder path: \\Mailbox - Administrator\Shared\Calendar
Relative path: \Shared\Calendar
GeniusConnect will search for relative path instead of exact folder match.
Please note:
Outlook can contain multiple folders with the same name, use unique relative path\name combination.
Apart from the Folders setting you have also to distribute the following settings:
1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Genius@Work\GeniusConnect
Keys: Code, Hint, Key, User.
This is the license information.
2. ODBC data sources
You have to distribute the ODBC data sources used by the Folder(s).
3. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Genius@Work\GeniusConnect\Settings\AdminOptions
Key: RelinkFolders, please set this value to 1 before the distribution. GeniusConnect (on the target PC)
resets this value to 0 after the scan for the local folders.
Key: Password, this key if the configuration password.
4. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Genius@Work\GeniusConnect\Settings
Copy also all sub keys.
Distribution of other registry keys is not mandatory:
-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Genius@Work\GeniusConnect\CommandBars
Display info for GeniusConnect Tool bar.
When the distribution is done and user starts Outlook, GeniusConnect will check the RelinkFolders key, if the value is 1, GeniusConnect will reset this key to 0 (to disable this process for the next start-up) and try to find (or recreate) the local folder using the FolderPath key.
If the Folder is not found, GeniusConnect will try to recreate the folder. (Not for Outlook 2000)
After the Folder has been created (or existing folder has been found), the <ENTRY ID> key will be overwritten by Entry ID of the local Folder.
Please note: the Scan process can take several minutes on slow networks in for example MS Exchange environment.
