Outlook 2003 need to pre-populate the User Profile for TS users

[Guest]

Hello,

I am currently setting up a new Terminal Server Solution and need some
information Outlook 2003. I want to be able to pre-populate the Exchange
settings for any user that logs on to these server so they do now have to add
an email account and create their own profile.

We are running Windows 2003 Enterprise Server with Terminal Services
and Office 2003 Enterprise Edition.

Any solutions as how to pre-populate the Exchange settings in outlook
respective for each user without having to logon ever single user for the
first time and manually entering the credentials.

-Thanks, John

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/redir.aspx?assetid=HA011403051033&QueryID=pHm7c_60I&respos=3

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