Aside from this options, the Office resouce kit (which you need to use
to install office 2000 to a windows 2000 and higher TS server anyways
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3ben-us%3b224313 )
allows you to customize a default exchange profile for new user profiles
on the Terminal servers.
User's login, start up outlook, and away they go. The ORK is free, and
relatively easy to configure.
If you don't want to use that, you can always script in a profile for
users on login using modprof.exe.
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/2000/journ/OutCreateProfile.htm It's
basically the same process the custom install wizard from the ORK uses,
but you have a bit more control in the event that you need to make
outlook profile changes for users in the future.

If you had Altiris deployment console you could push out
any change you wanted to them via a Rapid install package. : ) God I
love that program.
If it is a windows 2000 machine you can also use the
Runas command to run the file as a privileged user. Just create
privileged account and put it's user name and password in the script.

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.
