Amending Outlook Profiles Remotely/Using Logon Scripts

I have a need to amend users outlook 2003 profiles either remotely or by use
of logon scripts somehow. Does anyone know of a way where I could do this.
We don't use exchange at the mo so everyone uses Outlook with their PST files
stored either on a fileserver or, in the case of laptops, stored locally
within their windows profile.

I would need to amend things like the smtp email settings and also the pop3
settings.

Any help on this would be very appreciated ...

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

However, prf files cannot remove or change existing POP3 or IMAP4 accounts.

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