Default How to automatically setup Outlook accounts

Thanks Sue.

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.

We have an exchange server and everytime we get a new user we need to
set up the client on the machine they will be using the first time they
log in. Basically we only need to specify the exchange server name and
their first and last name. Is there a way this can be done
automatically?

Thanks
