You can create a outlook .prf file.
You can also use some tools that come with the Office Resource Kit to automate the install like what you want.
Alternativly if you create the .prf file all you have to do is double click the file and it will automatically setup the outlook profile. I use it all the time.

Here is some info to get you started:

The simplest way to do this is to use roaming profiles. Just make sure the network drive where the profiles are stored has lots of space!

When all else fails, read the book!
