Automate configuration of outlook to an exchange server

[Guest]

Trying to find a way to programmatically configure outlook to make a profile
for the current user logged on which will give them access to there existing
mailbox on the exchange server. There is a mixture of outlook 2k & 2k2. Can
someone point me in the right direction for this? Should I post this in a
scripting topic?

Thanks in advanced

Depending on your deployment methods you can create a prf-, mst- or cmw-file
for this. Tools and documentation are included in the (free) Office Resource
Kit of your version which you can download from Microsoft

Thanks for the quick reply,

One more question regarding this. Since my organization has a mixture of
outlook 2k and 2002 could I use lets say the 2002 resource kit and generate
these files for both versions or do I have to use the versions corresponding
resource kit?

thanks

IIRC Outlook 2000 used a different prf-format. Of course you can try it with
a 2002 prf-file first and then you can always still revert to the 2000
version. ;-)

If your wanted to support those in one sweep, Outlook Profiler would be
best...
