Automate mail account creation?
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? |
Automate mail account creation?
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
