Utility for automatically generating Outlook profiles

G

Guest

Hi,

I've written a script (vbscript) that generates Outlook profiles for users.
We have abandoned roaming profiles, now every time one of our users changes
desks, we have to recreate their mail profile.

My utility will search a given folder for PSTs and PABs and then create an
Outlook.prf that includes those services. As only one PAB service can exist
at a time, the utility will find the most recent PAB and add that to the
profile.

The script will then call Modprof.exe for Outlook 2000, or simply execute
the PRF directly if it is Outlook 2002 or 2003.

If the user does not have any PSTs or PABs (I.E a new user), the script will
create a profile with one PST and one PAB in the specified directory.

This script makes the assumption that PSTs and PABs are in the same location
for everyone (I.E h:\Outlook).

If a profile already exists, it will not change it.

As it's quite long, I won't post it, if you would like a copy of it (it's
fully commented so it should be fairly easy to modify if necessary) feel free
to email me at general<i'm spam free>@freakyfing.net. Don't forget to remove
the <i'm spam free>.
