You can do this using the Office Resource Kit. At least I was able to with O2K. It's one of the deployment tools...not sure which one. -----Original Message----- From: Doug Klock [mailto:dklock@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 3:31 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: pardon my ignorance! http://www.MSExchange.org/ 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. -----Original Message----- From: Kenny Mann [mailto:Kennymann@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 4:28 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: pardon my ignorance! http://www.MSExchange.org/ 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.

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

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!
