Mac OS X Server: Another MCX

So the the last article talked about an Apple-based preference.  But then I thought it might make sense to talk about pushing out one that’s non-Apple.  Let’s look at the Name in the Settings from Microsoft Office.  For this, Click on the + sign in Workgroup Manager, then browse to a user account -> Library -> Preferences -> Microsoft -> Office 2008 -> Microsoft Office 2008 Settings.plist.  Then change Manage imported preferences to Always.  Now double-click on Microsoft Office 2008 Settings and open up that disclosure triangle for Always.  Change the string for the 1000 value to be what you want the name to be.  Then save and test.  Fun stuff, right?
