Hello guys!

I have been trying to search if there is a way to change the temperature in Outlook 2013 calendar in group policy? Or at least a registry item to configure?

I know you could set this in Outlook options > calendar... per user. But I would like to implement this to all domain users.

Eg. Set Celsius as default temperature, instead of Fahrenheit

Please help.

Many thanks,

Ranzmig

Hi,

In Group Policy, you can find the settings under User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Outlook 2013\Outlook Options\Preferences\Calendar Options.

The OCT settings are in corresponding locations on the Modify user settings page of the OCT.

For more information, please refer to the library article below and look at the section on Weather bar

Hope this helps.

The setting is in Outlook:File/Options/Calendar. Scroll to the bottom and there is a weather section

It's there as mentioned. I am using Outlook 2013 under File / Options / Calendar / Scroll to the bottom. There you can choose if you want Celsius / Fahrenheit.

I'd also be interested in knowing if this setting (and the location) can be change by either "Group Policy" or "Registry" edits  - so as to make it easier to manage multiple computers in a windows domain.

I also know that these settings can be manually changed on individual computers but this isn't what the OP was asking. Pity they didn't have Outlook in the 1700s, other parts of the world could have enjoyed the weather settings!

Try this, it worked on my machine and have deployed it using SCCM to over 100 machines now

$LocalPath = "$envUserProfile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\RoamCache\*"

$LocalFileName = (Get-Item -Path $LocalPath -Filter "Stream_Weather*.dat").FullName

$Content = Get-Content -path $LocalFileName
Set-Content $LocalFileName $content.Replace("DegreeType"" v=""9-1""","DegreeType"" v=""9-0""")

Thankyou Tregelen - your solution worked for me and I am using your PowerShell script as part of my Office 2013 SCCM deployment.

One minor change I had to make to Tregelen's script was to call the user profile via $env:USERPROFILE for it to work. So now the script looks like

$LocalPath = "$env:USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\RoamCache\*"

$LocalFileName = (Get-Item -Path $LocalPath -Filter "Stream_Weather*.dat").FullName

$Content = Get-Content -path $LocalFileName
Set-Content $LocalFileName $content.Replace("DegreeType"" v=""9-1""","DegreeType"" v=""9-0""")

Why was this so hard MSFT!
