my boss wants me to start outlook 2000 in pc startup which is installed on
all computers .. is there a faster way to do it with activedirectory ?
rather then visiting all the computer & doing it manually

?
 
There's probably a number of ways you can do this.

Here's two:

Write a script that copies the file from %logonserver%\netlogon\wherever to
the \documents and settings\%username%\start menu\programs\startup folder,
add the script as a logon script to a GPO and assign the GPO to the domain.

Create a custom .adm file to add an entry for Outlook to the HKLM\...\Run key.

Here's an example of a VBScript that will do this:

' An example of using environment variables when copying files.
' In this script a shortcut 'outlook.lnk' is copied to the startup start
menu folder
' of the %username% user profile.

set objFso=createObject("scripting.fileSystemObject")
set objWShell=wScript.createObject("WScript.Shell")

usrName=objWShell.expandEnvironmentStrings("%USERNAME%")
logonSvr=objWShell.expandEnvironmentStrings("%LOGONSERVER%")

strFileToCopy=logonSvr&"\Netlogon\Outlook.lnk"
strFolder="C:\Documents and Settings\"&usrName&"\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"

if objFso.folderExists(strFolder) then
objFso.copyFile strFileToCopy,strFolder&"\",true
end if
