Hi. I don't know whether this is possible or not, but I would like to set
up an unattended setup of email accounts (no Exchange Server) on a remote
computer. Right now, I have to wait until both the remote users and I are
available, log on the remote computer using GoToMyPC, and set up the email
accounts. If there was a way to set this up so that Outlook email accounts
would be configured automatically the first time the user logs on (or the
first time they use Outlook), that would simplify things a bit.

If anyone knows how (or if) this can be done and has an example of how to do
it, I'd be glad to hear about it.

Thanks!

Should have mentioned I'm using Outlook 2002 (XP) and Windows XP
Professional (if that matters)

Have you tried Windows native Remote Desktop?

Thanks, Yes I have. So far I'm happier with GoToMyPC (faster, and more
stable in my experience).

I'm not really looking for another way to connect remotely though. I'm
really interested in the possibility of unattended email account setup in
Outlook.

Thanks again!

Have you tried the Office Custom installation wizard? I have an exchange
server, but I was able to preset everything to automatically be preset using
the %username% variable.
