I have been trying to come up with a way to Manage a network of Outlook installations that are largely OEM and Retail. The company is in a slow process of migrating to Enterprise Office Installation, but until then I can't make use of the Maintenance Wizard from the Office 2003 resource kit ( unless anyone knows a workaround?

I would like to be able to make site wide changes to various settings in Outlook for the default profile (outgoing smtp server, smtp authentication username, etc.) as needed.

I started going down the path of trying to figure how to script this with either VB and deploy the logon scripts with Group Policy, but can't seem to figure it out, and was wondering if anyone here had any ideas or recommendations of other forums? All the documentation I find on VB and Outlook is regarding how to automate outlook, nothing on how to configure it.
