Default Publish to GAL - Can it be done automagically?

DoD customer wants to automate "Publish to GAL..." via logon script. Looking
at kicking off Outlook with macro switch but DSW in CLT says "no can do"
because function not exposed in object model. Can this action be accomplished
by "clicking" on menu items for the user (ToolsOptionsSecurity)?

Crypto team looking in to straight ADSI/crypt32 calls and completely
bypassing Outlook to perform this (userSMIMECertificate is gonna be a pain).

We have an open case with folks at CLT and I can provide more details, etc.
upon request.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Publish what to the GAL? If this is in a Windows 2000/2003 environment, then
the GAL is derived from Active Directory. If the user logging in has an
account, then they're already in the GAL. Sorry, I'm confused.

Default Publish to GAL - Can it be done automagically?

"Publish to GAL" (PtG) is a feature/function within Outlook that makes
appropriate crypto calls to grab the public key from the user's encipherment
certificate (either hardware or software based) and add it to userCertificate
and userSMIMECertificate attributes of the user object in AD. This also adds
the key to the AD cert store. PtG has been in Outlook since the early days of
BackOffice(introduced in O'97 I believe, maybe even in Kluane, the original
Exchange Client).

What I am looking for is the method to perform this function during logon.
At present I am using vbs sendKeys, but this is less than optimal to say the
least.

That clarify?
