Default Automate the configuration of Outlook profiles with logon scripts

Hello all,

I need to automate the configuration of outlook profiles in 100 clients
computers because we have migrated from POP3 to Exchange. Is there a way to
do it automatically through login scripts?

Thank you very much!

Default Automate the configuration of Outlook profiles with logon scripts

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

The page at http://www.slipstick.com/exs/olroam.htm includes information on other profile tools and resources.
