SYMPTOMS
When you install Microsoft Outlook using a package deployment with Microsoft System Management Server (SMS), and choose the "Install on First Use" option, you will not have an Outlook icon on the Windows Quick Launch bar.

SMS automatically sets the Outlook first-run switch which prevents the icon from being inserted on actual first-run.



RESOLUTION
Use the Programs menu or the Desktop icon to start Outlook. Or, you can manually add the Outlook shortcut to the Quick Launch folder.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

 * 1) Right-click the Quick Launch bar background.
 * 2) Click Open on the shortcut menu to open the Quick Launch folder.
