Automatic Outlook messages
 

Hello,
I'm wonder how can make Outlook to create and send a message from user
mailbox automaticly. Each user in domain has logon script which set users
enviortment and creates mailbox via prf file. The problem is I need
conffirmation that his mail account works fine. I thought I can write a vbs
scrips which use CDO.Message object to send mail form user maibox to me, but
I've noticed that it dosen't work without administrative privileges, so that
the point I have no idea how can workaround it.
Thanks for any advice

What is it that you're trying to test? Whether the mailbox can send mail or whether the user's copy of Outlook is set up correctly? Those are two different things. You could take care of the former by creating a profile for that mailbox for yourself and sending a messag or by using CDO.Message on your own machine.

I can't think of any good automated way to checking the client workstation configuration. Any script you write to automate Outlook would be subject to security prompts, which the user either wouldn't know how to deal with or (best case) would click No because the source is unknown.
