Profile for All Users

Hi, I have created a profile for Outlook 2003 (.prf) which defines our mail
server and uses cached exchange mode. How do I apply it to all users of the
PC? If I run it as admin it sets it up for that account, but anyone else
that logs in gets prompted to configure their accounts when Outlook starts?

Help appreciated
 
Some of our computers have been configured previously - whenever a new user
logs into them they automatically use a predefined profile that sets them up
in exchange mode.

This does not use a logon script but is the functionality that I am looking
for... any other ideas how I might be able to do this? I just need to have
the profile already there when the user logs in. At the m,oment if I go to
control panel > mail then there are no profiles in there for new users.
 
Put "Outlook Profiler" in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
 
I have to pay for that?

Looking for a free solution....think I'm just gonna have to read some more
microsoft docs ....urghh
 
Sorry - it is free.

Problem is is that it can be done without using 3rd party apps as I can see
its been done on a number of machines. Suspect it is some sort of Office
install with transform..
 
You would use a login script or some similar means to deploy the necessary
registry entries -- particular ImportPRF, which holds the location of the
..prf file that holds the profile settings and should be invoked when Outlook
starts. Details are in the Office Resource Kit.

Used the Cutom Maintenance Wizard which has an option to apply the Outlook
settings to all users of the machine.

Thanks for the answers anyway.
 
The CMW is definitely the easiest way to deploy these bits.
