Hi,

I've used the Profile Designer in the O2K Resource Kit to generate a PRF
file that my users can use to setup Outlook.

It works fine, apart from the "MailboxName=" variable. It is set as
%USERNAME% but the Exchange mailboxes are set to "Lastname, Firstname" so
the user gets an error on startup. They put their mailbox details in and all
is well again.

I'd really like to automate this. Does anyone have any pointers for me?

Thanks,

Greg

PS - Exchange 5.5, Outlook 2002 / 98
 
Greg,

You would need to:

1. Create a logon script that creates an environment variable whose value is
the user's mailbox name. You can query AD for the mailbox name.
2. Use this variable in the .prf file instead of "username".

Hope this helps.
