Outlook Auto setup?

[EdwardQ]

We have Office 2003 Std installed on all our pc's. We dont use roaming profiles. We a new user comes in or a user needs access to a pc I have to log them on to set up there outlook accout. Is there a way to have outlook automatically setup thier outlook when they start it?

You can do this if you deploy Outlook using a transform file. Using the office resource kit, you can setup the installation to automatically configure their Outlook account.

It is pretty self explanatory, you just plug in the dns name of your exchange server and leave the username set to the var %username% (or whatever is default).

When a user 1st starts outlook they will get a prompt for their username and password and a checkbox to remember the password. So they do all that on 1st startup and presto!

This is good because it eliminates the need to login as the user and setup outlook.
