Default Automate Outlook username and server

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.

Is there any way of setting Outlook to use the same serve name and making it
pick up the username automatically (eg %USERNAME%). This way when I image a
new PC I won't have to setup Outlook for every user?

Thanks for your help,

Sam.
