Hi,

Is it possible to have some sort of script or default profile script that I
run when setting up a Outlook profile (not using Exchange just plain POP3
and SMTP), most of the information is the same just username/password need
to be changed on each new machine that gets setup.

Thanks

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"
