Doug,

We are using roaming profiles (Win 2k Servers, win2K or XP desktops) and
users are connected to Outlook with a logon (KIXX) script that checks
whether the OS is Win2K or XP and whether MS Office is XP, or and
branches
accordingly.


I'm at home rather than work at present so can't check the length of the
script. From memory it is less than two pages of A4 including
comprehensive
comments. Unfortunately the copyright is owned by a company of
consultants
so I can't copy it to you directly but I will post a general description
of
the processes if that would help.

Regards

David S.

As stated ... all desktops are Win2k Pro ... however, the issue at hand
is when a user logs into the network on a system they have never used,
they are prompted for configuration information for Outlook ... Mailbox
name and Server name.  Also, these systems are cloned and Outlook is
stuck on the technician's Outlook profile that was cloned with the
system.

Sorry, I accidently hit the send button before I posted at least _some_
solution....
Purchase WindowsXP or Windows2000 Professional.
It allows for users to have their own directory and to have their own
profile based on a per logon basis.

More details please.
It sounds like you are running Windows 9x or ME.
In either case, there is nothing you can do (that I am aware of).

I am new to this list and I have exhausted my search efforts.

Simple Question:  How do I configure an Outlook client (2000) so that is
will automatically create a user profile based on %username% so that I
don't have to do this manually.  I have seen a kixtart script that does
this, but I can't believe that it take 500 lines of code to do this.  I
also can't believe that I need to purchase a third party app like
oProfile
to do this.

I am very frustrated!

Doug
