Hi Joe,
I suspect the term remote might confuse things.
Where are you intending to run outlook, on the Citrix servers or on the
remote workstation?
If the former, then profilemaker will need to be running on the servers, if
the latter then of course it needs to be running on the remote workstation
because Outlook will be connecting remotely.
regards,
Rick

Per AutoProf:
"... you can start running configurations remotely. In order to do this,
the Profile Maker client executable (~180K) must be executed on the desktop
you would like to configure."
I may be wrong (I have been before <grin>) but I read this as something
would be run on the client machine possibly installing something to the
local machine. Our policies wouldn't let that happen.

UH, if you are moving to Citrix the profile maker would go on the Citrix
server, not on the client devices....

Subject: [THIN] Automatically configure Outlook 2000 clients
Hello All,
We are in the process of switching our user base to a Citrix based Outlook
solution for our remote offices. We would like to use an application such as
ProfileMaker to automatically configure the end users' profile when the
first connect. Our problem is that our client machines are VERY locked down
and nothing can be installed when the end user is logged in. This rules out
ProfileMaker as it has a 180K client piece which an administrator would have
to install - for that I'd just configure the profile.
Can anyone suggest an application which will ease the configuration
headache? Or perhaps you know of a workaround?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
