Outlook Deployment and Configuration

[Pablo E. Perie K]

I I'm migrating from Lotus Notes and I need to deploy an configure 1200
Outlook clients, I don't have SMS or any kind of tool that will allow me to
do this automatically, Does anyone knows of a script that will allow me to
deploy the Outlook 2003 client and configure the profile for the user to
access his account?

Regards,

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.
