In Outlook how to create common event Categorize for the whole organization
I could not see "new Category" at preferences as given below. Also let me know more about how to set via GPO or Intune configuration profiles .
Thanks!
Hello again! Djeanthi2215
You have to create it under Preferences yourself.
Do the following
1: Right click the white the "preferences" folder
2: Choose "New" and then "String Value"
3: name it "newcategories" and then click enter
4: Doubleclick "newcategories" to modify it
5: in "value data" Write the following to add the categories that you had in your example
and then click "OK"
Needs analasys; Demo; Contract; Renewal
6: Restart Outlook and you will see the new categories 🙂
Let me know how it goes! And then we can discuss Intune or GPO
Cheers

Hi oliwer_sundgren ,
I have changed as specified and it is not working(restarted the outlook).
Thank you!

I believe the registry is case sensitive. So change from "Newcategories" to "newcategories" and see if that helps 🙂

Hi oliwer_sundgren ,
Can we do this without Intune enrollment? If not, is there an alternative?
Thank you!
