Hi. I'm looking for a way to automate the adding of a specific PST file to
a user's profile in Outlook... to be scripted upon first logon at a
workstation.

What's the best way to approach this? Is it easy to script with a few
registry changes/copying preferences files, or does it need some VBA
programming?

This would be Outlook 2000 in an Exchange 5.5 environment for what its
worth. I'm looking to "Add" the "Service", not to import it into the
mailbox.

thanks for any direction :)
 
See the Office Resource Kit for your version of Office for how to do this.
It is available (free) on the Microsoft Office site.

Thanks. I hunted through the ORK and the newsgroups but I guess I wasn't
searching for the right things.

I eventually found this easy vbs code on the web...

set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

set olNameSpace =olApp.GetNameSpace("MAPI")



olNameSpace.AddStore "c:\whatever\file.pst"
