I am deploying Office 2011 to over 100 Macs and want to make Outlook 2011 the default program for all email, calendaring and contacts.  I would like to set that option using a shell script since we are deploying Office via Casper.  I noticed that when I select that option in the GUI in Preferences, the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file is updated.  So in my script, I use plistbuddy to make the changes and the plist file indicates that Outlook is the default for all of those options.  But when I go into Outlook, the checkbox for that option is still not checked.

Has anyone else done this and can you tell me if there is another file that needs to be modified?
