Outlook Setup

[vex]

Here is what I want to do:

I have a Terminal Server 2K3 and I would like to install Outlook 2K3 for all
my users that connect to the terminal server. Currently every new user that
connects to the TS and opens Outlook has to go thru the little setup and
input the Exchange server name and username. Is there anyway to avoid this
and have Outlook start for new users and all they have to do is input a
username and password.

Thanks in advance

Jay

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.
