The latest "recommended" way by Microsoft is creating a custom installation of Office (or just Outlook) XP... this can be done using the Custom Installation Wizard (CIW) that's part of the Office XP Resource Kit... then Outlook is deployed (installed) and will create the right %username% profile when first opened by each user... if you have Office XP already deployed you can use the Custom Maintenance Wizard (CMW) of that same Office XP Resource kit to create a file that then can be used to modify your Outlook so it'll create that profile next time it's opened... an even simpler method also recommended as an option is to use the CIW, and then use an option it has to "export" a "PRF" file... this PRF file is now "executable" in computers with Outlook XP installed and will create that %username% profile automatically. The old profgen & newprof utilities I assume will work well too. I'm using the PRF file thingy.

I personally use a commercial product for that: http://www.autoprof.com <http://www.autoprof.com> ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: alopezdeayala@xxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this MSExchange.org Discussion List as: huntj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
