I was hoping there would be a way to install the client without
having to deal with profiles. To be able to have the users simply log
in and be presented with their folders and calendars via the Exchange
server.

It is the profile that hold the information about the server - its name, for
example. WIthout a profile, there is no Outlook connectivity of any kind.
However, if you have Exchange and Exchange expects a username/password to
allow access, then a single mail profile on the client end may suffice.
Exchange would prompt for the mailbox credentials when Outlook starts.
