Automatically configure new accounts.
 
I have roaming profiles setup. When my user logs in for the first time I
have to manually configure their outlook mail settings.

How can I automate this process so that their outlook profile will be setup
for them.

Thanks,
Albert

Automatically configure new accounts.
 
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.
