Hi Oleksiy_Kotikov ,

 

I'm just fast brainstorming, so please don't judge, if I just wrote bs. 😉

 

You can try to set up a fileshare where you put this .oft file and copy the content into your Outlook directory to automatically use the file in your outlook via a Group Policy. I've never tested it with meeting templates, but I would give it a shot.

 

Futhermore, I was wondering, why this need's exacly to be used in powershell?

What advantage are you looking for in this PS script? How should the script behave etc.?

 

Maybe you are interested in another .oft & meeting template article 🙂 :

Thanks in advance,

Schnittlauch

    Hi Schnittlauch ,

    no jugdements here, we are all learning 🙂

    I would love to do this via GPO, but  I don't know which key I should use, do you know the name of the key ?
    Powershell is just another idea, also as a brainstorming 🙂 So, if we could make it without PS, it would be even better.

    Thank you for sharing with me the Create Outlook meeting template - 4 quick ways (ablebits.com)
    I can totally understand all of those methods how to share the template, but the problem is that I can't "force" people in my organization one-by-one to use that. I want to set up it for them.
