automatic outlook profile creation

[PEVDaddy]

Hello,

I work in a hospital environment where users move around to different depts a lot. Is there a way to write a logon script for windows 2000 that will automatically create the users outlook profile if they haven't logged onto that pc before?

Yes you can set up email profiles using the Outlook template which comes with Microsoft Office 2000 Resource Kit. The outlook descriptor is called Outlook.prf In addition to that you will new to use Newprof.exe which is installed by default with Outlook 2000.

Using Notepad you can edit the services and paths needed to set up an email profile. Within a login script you can add the command line to setup the profile:

Newprof.exe -P <Outlook file path> -S -X
