In the Windows2000 Server
In the Administrative tools,,
In the Computer Management ,,
in the Group Policy ,
Enable the Redirect Application Data , and select the path which you want to redirect all the Roaming Profiles to it..

When I right click on Outlook icon, I only get a mail tab, gives the name of the POP3 etc, I don't get the option of Dta Files, View/Add mail account, profiles etc, I don't know how in this situation I can point outlook to the .pst file on the server? I've tried to logon to Outlook, tools, options, but still get the smae thing! I can't find the option NEW OUTLOOK DATA FILE?
What do I do?

Sorry if I'm not being that clear!!
Ok my problem is this- I've saved the .pst file onto the user profile on the server, then I right clicked on the Outlook icon, from here I have 3 boxes that i can click on, accounts, data files and profiles(rough translation!!), clicking on data files I pointed outlook to the saved pst file for that user on the server. I then logged onto another compputer using this user, I had to configure Outlook again! , but this time right clicking on Outlook only brought up a box with the POP3 server name, not the microsoft outlook configuration box, therefore I don't know how in this situation I can succeed to point outlook to the pst file on the server?

I hope this is clearer? Is there some easier way to do this?

when making roaming outlook ,,
You have to understand that you don't need to point to any files.
1- you have to Enable the Redirect Application Data , and select the path which you want to redirect all the Roaming Profiles to it..
2- then log into the server ( domain ) from any computer and then setup the outlook account on this machine..

after this if you log off ,,
and try to log again from another computer , you will find that the outlook is installed and configured as the one which was installed in the 1st computer ,, Just like this !

Forgive me for being a complete moran, but I did what you said in the first mail, I cant seem to c Group Policy, I have users and groups(again rough translation), but I get an error message when I click on this saying that I cannt change anything as the computer is a domain controler! ?????
