Hello IT Fans,

I have installed a Terminal Server with more than one language.

Outllook must configure itself automatically when a user open it the first
time?

Is there a simply possibility to ensure that user became there right
MX-Server?

best regards from austria,
David
 
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.

Hello,
We have a similar problem: We changed the Exchange Server name. Now, new
users (Students) are not auto configured in Outlook.
I changed the name in the PRF to be the new server name, but it doesn't work.

I can manually setup a new profile when logged in as the new user. I have
200 new users (students) arriving in 4 days. Any help will be deeply
appreciated.
