Outlook script

[RickC]

Hi -

Does anyone know if there is an updated version of this script -

olkvers - http://downloads.scalix.com/ark/olkvers

* NOTE: olkvers scrapes the audit files for the most recent Outlook logins for each user. If your user is using multiple instances of Outlook (i.e., Outlook on more than one host), only the version of the last login will be shown. This applies to NotifyLink customers as well. Ideally olkvers would show all versions found for a particular user.

I'm trying to figure out exactly how many Outlook users I have on my system (out of nearly 6k users).

Running 11.4.4 on RHEL4.

Thanks!

Rick,

maybe quick and dirty, but you could create your self a script to look at all the v8 files, from what I remember there is reference to client in those files.
You could at least get numbers of users using outlook, and you could use the userlist to crossrefernce the location of the files to the actual user.

Thanks, Mick, I guess I need to dig some more into those files. This wiki script actually pulls the info out of the audit logs.

Hi Rick,

using the audit file assumes you have the audit level for RCI set to, I think, level 9 or 11, and of course it depends on your log rotation and retention.
If you go down the audit log route, it may be worth using a different file for just logons (you can change that in the audit.cfg I think)

I haven't looked at the olkvers script, but maybe the following is all you need.....

ps -ef |grep Outlook

which will give you....

55008 424 23568 0 Mar11 ? 00:00:05 /opt/scalix/bin/ual.remote 12 3 0 0 Smith?John???server?host???????????????????John Smith 1 Outlook 11.0.5608.0 - Scalix Connect for Microsoft Outlook 11.4.6.9214 0 0 0 UTF8 16 211820336 55008 1 28672 112 6 ENGLISH 0 0 11520

this gives you the scalix user id (55008), version of outlook username, a little bash scripting could get you the numbers you're looking for.

Hope it helps.
