script agent register in Outlook 2007

[Petr]

Hello,
I am working with the betaversion of Outlook 2007 and I am looking for the
script agent register, which I should normally find at the properties of a
folder.
First thing is, that I would expect a checked box at
tools/options/other/advanced options/Add-In-Manager - Server Scripts. But
neither one of these two works.
I use an Exchange Server 2003 and a Client with Office 2007 beta on Windows
XP SP2.
Can someone help me from my despair?

Thanks and greeting

Petr

Addin management has moved to Tools | Trust Center. On the Add-ins screen, look at the bottom for the Manage command to work with Exchange Client Extensions.

The scripting agent add-in, though, apparently does not ship with Outlook 2007. Given that Exchange 2007 doesn't support folder scripts, that sort of makes sense. I don't know that anyone has tried copying the ..ecf file from an earlier version.

Hello Sue,
you are right.
I tested the file SCRPTXTN.ECF from Outlook 2003.
The option Serverscripts becomes in Add-In-Manager, however comes error
message that this version does not function.

Can I not use Script at folder of mailbox in the OL 2007?

Thanks & Greeting

Petr

Outlook itself never uses the script. It's just the tool used to configure folder scripts. It looks like you'll need to use a version earlier than Outlook 2003 to perform such configuration chores.

Again, this makes sense, given that

-- The folder script functionality was devalued starting in Exchange 2000 in favor of event sinks
-- Outlook 2007 cannot be used with Exchange 5.5
-- Exchange 2007 won't support folder scripts at all .

Hello Sue,
I use an Exchange Server 2003 and a Client with Office 2007 beta on Windows
XP SP2.
I have you in such a way understood: Outlook2007 can use folders scripts,
but it cannot administer those folders scripts. Is it so correct?

Thanks & Greeting
Petr

Not quite. No version of Outlook uses folder scripts. Folder scripts are an Exchange Server feature. Past versions of Outlook have simply included a user interface for installing such scripts. That's the only connection between Outlook and folder scripts.
