Automatic account info population for exchange accounts

This is what I am trying to accomplish.

I have around 20 users that continually move from machine to machine because
of the nature of their position. At this time we are not using Roaming
Profiles due to bandwidth and storage issues. Everytime these people move
they have to set up their email account. More specifically I have to do it.

What I want to happen is that either they have a script that can be run or
some other way to automatically set up their exchange account in outlook when
they log onto the machine.

The solution that I am looking for is something that can be done from the
desktop side without having to do anything with the exchange server.

Office XP is the current version that is being used within our environment.
 
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
