Hi

I’ve created a login script for various network consisting of a lot of command line batching, and queries registry keys.

I was wondering if anyone has been in this situation before.

Create a new user, runs logins does everything for them as a first login user – they log in no problem but come across this… they end up phoning a support team because there Outlook 2003 isn’t setup and asking for exchange server and name..

Is there anyway of scripting this? Whether its in VBS, command line or purely entries in the registries which I would prefer?

If someone knows the answer it would stop me running around 70’s computers in the next few weeks.

If this is the wrong section, please could someone let me know the correct section to post this message

Regards

No, a script will not work because the outlook config is a profile based configuration. If you could do it you would have to write a separate script for every user which kinda defeats the purpose to begin with.

Disgree on your last comment what happens if I put the variable %username% which will get the login id - which is the same for exchange! - doesn't group policy do it?
