We are running Office 2000 and are shortly to migrate to 2007. All
clients run Outlook on Windows XP SP2. The mail server is outsourced
(not Exchange).

I want to automate the task of setting up Outlook for users. Items
such as User's name, "POP Server", "SMTP Server", User ID and other
settings that are identified in tools-accounts.

Using a machine set up with Outlook, I've looked through the registry
but have drawn a blank. Either this data is not stored in text in the
Registry or there's some other control file. Presumably it's not in
the PST

We can use files and settings transfer wizard (to a point) but in some
cases this is unnecessary

So can anyone tell me where I might be able to automatically set up
this information, for instance in a login script or other batch file

Thanks,

Peter
 
if you do the upgrade option for outlook, it will do all that for you...

Thanks for your reply. We also have users who start "cold" on a
machine - they've never used it before (or it's a brand new machine)
and so there are no settings to go from. That's why I need this info

Thanks
 
Depending on your deployment method you can use the OCT to create a mst, cmw
or prf-file to create a settings file and deploy it to your users. See the
ORK for more info if needed.
