PRF and Office2003

R

rbc1

Hi,
First: we already have a copy of Office2003
slipstreamed with SP3 that have been packaged
into an MSI file, stored on the server and added
to the group policy ready to be pushed to clients.

Secondly: we also have a copy of the Outlook .PRF
file ready to go.

Question: How can we combine this two separate process
into one so that they can be pushed from a group
policy?

***What we wanted is once a new user logs on to
his pc, outlook is ready and ready to go.

We'd like to do this from a central point.

Any advice to be much appreciated.

The prf can be loaded from a logon script - it'll only take a second to set
up outlook when the user logs on.

Thanks much. Probably the best approach is to execute separately.

Thanks again.
I created a batch file which reads:\\server\share\outlook.prf .
Saved the bat file and when executing the batch file, nothing
came up.

I don't need to use the command Net Use..., correct?

Thanks,
