Just a quick question for you guys. I have a bunch of new hires, and temps coming in who will be moving seats alot. Is there a way to automate the Profile creation for outlook 2003. We are using Exchange 2003 backend, and Outlook 2003 on the user side. The profiles are local. I don't want to have to setup outlook everytime the user moves to a new seat. Any help would be great.

Thanks

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...c_60I&respos=3

The page at http://www.slipstick.com/exs/olroam.htm includes information on other profile tools and resources.
