Exchange Server

Paul Goldman · Guest

Are there any whitepapers or knowledge base articles on deploying Outlook
profiles remotely or via a script? We will be building an Exchange 2003
infrastructure to replace a POP3 environment. Clients currently use Outlook
configured for POP3. We want to push out profiles to each desktop to
connecto to the Exchange server. Any help would be appreciated.

Microsoft uses text files with a .prf extension and a highly structured format to provide information to OUtlook that enables Outlook to create or modify a mail profile. You can create such .prf files with the Custom Installation Wizard or Custom Maintenance Wizard tools in the Office Resource Kit. For more details, including a variety of .prf deployment methods, read the excellent white paper "Configuring Outlook Profiles by Using a PRF File" at http://office.microsoft.com/search/redir.aspx?assetid=HA011403051033&QueryID=pHm7c_60I&respos=3

The page at http://www.slipstick.com/exs/olroam.htm includes information on other profile tools and resources.

Outlook Profiler has been the perfect tool as far as I have seen.
