ORK & "Default delivery location" trouble

Guest

I am using the Office Resource Kit to create an MST file to setup custom
settings for our install of officeXP. When I use ORK to create an MST for a
machine using the XP OS and not 2000, it seems no matter what I try, the
default delivery location for all mail is on the local computer in a PST file
and not on the exchange server.

The settings that I have adjusted are:

Step 16 of 22: Outlook: Customize Default Profile
I've chosen both: Modify Profile and New Profile (under new profile I choose
the profile name Outlook)

Step 17 of 22: Outlook: Specify Exchange Settings
I've chosen "Configure an Exchange Server connection"
For Username I use %Username% and for Exchange Server I put in our exchange
server name. I've tried creating MSTs with both "Overwrite existing exchange
settings" checked and unchecked.

Step 18 of 22: Outlook: Add Accounts
I choose the "Customize additional Outlook and profile account information"
radial and then adjust the "Deliver new mail to the following location" from
<default> to "Exchange Server". At one point I kept the "Do not customize
Outlook profile and Account information" radial checked but that didn't help
either.

These are typically the only changes I make.

After I create the MST and then try and install OfficeXP onto an XP machine
and then login with a user that has average rights, they get all their mail
delivered to a PST folder and not the exchange server.

Now what's really weird is that I finally *did* get it to work on one
computer and when someone logs in the get all their mail directed to their
exchange box and everything is fine but I can't get it to work on any other
computer.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please let me know.

Try exporting the .prf file that those settings create and running it separately. Does that create the desired profile? If not, post back with the first 4 sections of the PRF file.
