new profile configuration

[eduardo]

Hello, is there any way that I can configure by GPO, which server is the one
that new profiles are going to connect to?
I know that by using an .mst I can customize that, but the problem is that I
have an image that I use for any new machines, and that image comes with a
profile created that tries to connect to an old exchange server, so each time
I have a new computer, I have to recreate the outlook profile so it can
connect to the new server.

Microsoft uses text files with a .prf extension and a highly structured format to provide information to OUtlook that enables Outlook to create or modify a mail profile. You can create such .prf files with the Custom Installation Wizard or Custom Maintenance Wizard tools in the Office Resource Kit. For more details, including a variety of .prf deployment methods, read the excellent white paper "Configuring Outlook Profiles by Using a PRF File" at http://office.microsoft.com/search/redir.aspx?assetid=HA011403051033&QueryID=pHm7c_60I&respos=3

The page at http://www.slipstick.com/exs/olroam.htm includes information on other profile tools and resources.
