How to run Outlook 2007/2010/2013/2016 Rules from a button

by

0

To be able to run a single (or all) rules from a single button instead of having to use the outlook rules dialogue box, the following code should help:

First, go into the VB Editor,  Tools -> Macro’s > Visual Basic Editor (or press ALT-F11)

Assuming you don’t already have any modules in here.  Press Insert -> Module

You will be presented with a new window waiting for code, paste this in for all rules:

Sub RunAllInboxRules()
Dim st As Outlook.Store
Dim myRules As Outlook.Rules
Dim rl As Outlook.Rule
Dim count As Integer
Dim ruleList As String
‘On Error Resume Next’ get default store (where rules live)
Set st = Application.Session.DefaultStore
‘ get rules
Set myRules = st.GetRules

‘ iterate all the rules
For Each rl In myRules
‘ determine if it’s an Inbox rule
If rl.RuleType = olRuleReceive Then
‘ if so, run it
rl.Execute ShowProgress:=True
count = count + 1
ruleList = ruleList & vbCrLf & rl.Name
End If
Next

‘ tell the user what you did
ruleList = “These rules were executed against the Inbox: ” & vbCrLf & ruleList
MsgBox ruleList, vbInformation, “Macro: RunAllInboxRules”

Set rl = Nothing
Set st = Nothing
Set myRules = Nothing
End Sub

The below is for a single rule, don’t forget to change rule name:

Sub RunAllInboxRules()
Dim st As Outlook.Store
Dim myRules As Outlook.Rules
Dim rl As Outlook.Rule
Dim runrule As String
dim rulename as string

Rulename = “*****name of rule*****”

Set st = Application.Session.DefaultStore

Set myRules = st.GetRules

For Each rl In myRules

If rl.RuleType = olRuleReceive Then

If rl.Name = rulename Then
rl.Execute ShowProgress:=True
runrule = rl.Name

End If
End If
Next

ruleList = “This rule was executed against the Inbox:” & vbCrLf & runrule
MsgBox ruleList, vbInformation, “Macro: RunAllInboxRules”

Set rl = Nothing
Set st = Nothing
Set myRules = Nothing
End Sub

Using Process Monitor to measure logon times

by

Samuel Dubrul's avatarFIrst Aid for it support

Did you ever get complaints about slow logon times for users running on a Terminal Server? Probably the answer is yes, but what is slow? And can I measure this with hard numbers? Yes you can do this… By using Process Monitor! And I will show you how.

Step 1

Logon to the server with the local Administrator account and start Process Monitor.

Stop the capture and clear everything, this prevents the ProcMon from using unnecessary resources for now.

ProcMon_captureEvents

Step 2

Edit the Filter as follows. Add the processes winlogon.exe, userinit.exe and explorer.exe

Also filter to only show process Start and Exit.

ProcMon_Filter

– Winlogon.exe: You can see the first process to kick of is the Winlogon.exe. It is starting on logon and ends when a user clicks the start => logof button.

– Userinit.exe: Next one to launch is the userinit.exe process which includes various user initializations. This process will also…
