It seems like setting the default file location for attachments in Microsoft Outlook –should- be a simple thing, not only to implement, but to automate as well.
#OUTLOOK FOR MAC 2016 DEFAULT ATTACHMENT FOLDER HOW TO#
Sounds simple enough, right? But after spending more time investigating how to achieve this, and some failed attempts at implementing this, you started to wonder… Why did Microsoft have to make this so difficult? In some cases, using Folder Redirection might work as an alternative, but you decide to stay away from that for a variety of issues. You also decide, you want the default file location to point to the user’s home folder/drive (in this example, we will refer to it as a Z: drive). To combat this particular issue, and to minimize the number of helpdesk tickets generated from users, you decide it would be best to configure the default file location when adding and saving attachments.
Unfortunately, without the default file location configured for Outlook 2013, one of the most common helpdesk tickets you receive from end-users is, “I can’t find where I saved my Outlook attachment!”, or “I’m having trouble attaching an Excel spreadsheet to my email in Outlook!”ĭespite how much training your end-users have gone through, they are still having difficulty understanding that in an RDS specific environment, the default file location dialog box that appears when they are adding or saving attachments in Microsoft Outlook is –not- actually their local C: drive, but instead, its the RDS host server’s local C: drive. You have 100+ users accessing Microsoft Outlook 2013 from a Remote Desktop Service farm (RDS). Let’s suppose you’re the Network Administrator that provides IT support for a company called Globex Corporation based here in Waukesha, WI.
