Group Policy with Outlook Deployment
Is there a way to use GPO to creates the user's Mail Account Profile when
the log into a machine that they have not been on before so they they don't have to set it up themselves or so I don't have to have IT people stand there with them and do it after they log in the first time? Outlook being used is 2003 and is running as just a normal Exchange Client. Nothing special, nothing unusual. -- Phillip Windell [MCP, MVP, CCNA] www.wandtv.com |

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/r...60 I&respos=3
