Outlook / Office 2000 install problem

[Phil Dewhurst]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to create an installation of Outlook
(from Office 2000) in which the Exchange server and user
mailbox settings are automatically entered.

In other words, I install Outlook on a PC, a user logs on,
opens Outlook and goes straight into their mailbox -
without having to set up the services, Exchange server,
mailbox name etc.

I have tried looking at a group template for this, but the
one for Office / Outlook 2000 doesn't have a section for
the Exchange server setting.

I have also tried to use the Office Custom Installation
Wizard, which does have a section to enter %username% for
the mailbox, and the name of the Exchange server. I have
then installed Office using the settings file that was
created, but whenever a user firts logs onto the PC and
opens Outlook, it still prompts for a mailbox name and
Exchange server.

Am I missing something really obvious here ?

Thanks.
