Default Automatic Client Configuration

Microsoft uses text files with a .prf extension and a highly structured format to provide information to OUtlook that enables Outlook to create or modify a mail profile. You can create such .prf files with the Custom Installation Wizard or Custom Maintenance Wizard tools in the Office Resource Kit. For more details, including a variety of .prf deployment methods, read the excellent white paper "Configuring Outlook Profiles by Using a PRF File" at http://office.microsoft.com/search/r...60 I&respos=3

The page at http://www.slipstick.com/exs/olroam.htm includes information on other profile tools and resources.

Guys and Gals,
We have a number of users logging onto a Citrix server that has Outlook as
an available application for them. How do I set Outlook to automatically
configure for a new user when they logon for the first time to that server? I
want them to be able to click Outlook icon and it will configure and setup
Outlook client for them using their logon info.
Can this be done? If so, how?
Thank you very much in advance!
