I would like to be able to set up, delete, or re-configure Outlook profiles
on client machines through the network.

Is there an existing tool that I can use to manage Outlook Profiles on
client machines?

or

Is the information accessible from Microsoft that I can get to so I can
create my own?

Thanks,
Craig
 
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

The page at http://www.slipstick.com/exs/olroam.htm includes information on other profile tools and resources.
