Re: Entourage account setup applescript not working

I am having a hard time getting an account setup applescript to work. The
issue does not seem to be with the script itself.

What happens is I can run the script and it appears to set up all entourage
settings correctly. When comparing the account settings on 2 computers,
there are NO differences between a manually setup machine and a scripted
one.

However, the scripted one does not work. The account it sets up (exchange)
shows up as not connected in the folders linst. The account folder does not
show an inbox, sent items, drafts, etc. It DOES show public folders, which I
can browse. I can also lookup addresses.

If I manually setup the account through entourage on the same machine, the
new account works fine.

So, there is something that the new account setup is not doing. I can't
figure this out. My setup is 0s 10.4.9 and Office 11.3.3.

Hi Aaron!

Also, as a means of troubleshooting, can you set Entourage to work
offline (Entourage menu --> Work Offline) and then work online again?
Does this trigger the scripted account to work? Does restarting
Entourage make the account connect?

Are you possibly running the script while Entourage is already running?
If so, try running it with Entourage quit and then let the script launch
Entourage. Please let me know if this makes a difference for you.

Thanks! bill
