Or you can use the importprf key in the registry to do this also.

Subject: [THIN] Re: Profile Generator for Office XP
I founda way around this by using the start command
with Outlook command line switch.
(there may be needless wrapping)
-------------------------
rem @echo off
ECHO Generating Outlook Profile
IF "%USERNAME%" =3D=3D "Administrator" GOTO END
IF EXIST H:\Windows\outlook.prf GOTO END
copy %LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\outlook.prf=20
H:\windows\outlook.prf
start "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office10\outlook.exe" /importPRF
"H:\windows\outlook.prf"
:end
-------------------------
I hope this helps.
