Default Non user-specific Install...

Is it possible to install Outlook 2003 on a workstation so that multiple
people can utilize the application?

Right now, I have a workstation set up that simply boots to the desktop with
a generic user...I've bypassed the login and just went straight to the
desktop. What I'd like to be able to do is have this workstation set up so
that anyone can just walk up to it and check their email. This Outlook
installation would point to an Exchange server.

Thanx.

If you wish to use the Outlook client, you will still need to know who will
want to check their mail so that you can create separate mail profiles for
each of them. I think your particular situation is a good place to use
Outlook Web Access.

Yes, I'm using OWA now, but it just doesn't have all the functionality of the
full Outlook client.

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.

Thanx.

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.
