Where did you hear that? Either way; it's wrong. Mail profiles need to be
configured under the user context since they are stored in the user profile.
The storage location of the mail profile is a combination of files and
registry keys.

If you want to deploy a mail profile to your users, you can do so by
creating a prf-file via the Office Resource Kit.

Hi all,
I am setting up outlook for the first time (2003) at our company. We will
have an exchange server.
My question is: do the users have to have admin rights to their
workstation
in order for them to setup their own profile? Where is their profile
stored?

I read something about if using encryption profiles needed to be setup
with
admin rights.
