Setup outlook automatically ?

[pancake]

Dear everyone,

I have inherited a poorly maintained 450 PC school network. At the moment everyone is using OWA. I have been tasked with setting up Outlook for mail for all 1200 users.

Is there a way that I can set this up centrally or automatically, so that the username can be used in the mail settings when a user logs on?

I was thinking along the lines of a group policy - or is that too much to ask? We currently use local profiles, so it becomes tricky as our users move around a lot.

Any advice very welcome. Thanks in advance.
Pancake.

You can use the Office Resource Kit to call a maintenance package in the login script. That will do it.
