Hi all,

We operate in an Exchange environment and use Outlook 2003 as our client. All I wanted to do it configure Outlook to automatically configure a new user's profile. So I copy our custom11.PRF to C:\program files\microsoft office and set default user registry under software\microsoft\office\11.0\outlook\setup and added FirstRun, First-Run, and ImportPRF. Both First Runs were set to 00 on the first lines and ImportPRF pointed towards the location I placed the custom11.prf however when I log in as user who has never been on t he machine it asks me to configure outlook. If I manually enter the settings in current user portion or registry it works fine for that particular user logged in. What else can I do I have been fighting with this thing all day! Thanks!

PS. Basically I want to go this route so whenever we have the flexibility to have new users log into the same computer and have no steps to setup the profile other than putting in your name and initials.

Here are my settings:

Here is the registry keys I imported to the wizard:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup]
"FirstRun"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"First-Run"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"ImportPRF"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\custom11.PRF"


Here is a view of the mst file I created:
