Default Automate mail account creation?

Thanks!

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. (You don't need to use CIW or CMW to deploy them, just to
create them.) 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 an way to automate creation of an Exchange account on Outlook
installed with Office OEM? For example, a way to do it via a batch file
where I supply the exchange server and user name?
