the age old question...

could someone enlighten me on how to setup for a new user (local/domain USER
not admin) for Outlook 2000 and or 2003 through scripting, group policy,
custom install wizard, yada yada yada.

I am not going to buy anything. I'm using vbs for login scripts right now,
but since 99% of users are domain users and not local admins of their pc's,
i'm stuck (but i'm a novice too!) I started reading up on deploying or
publishing outlook in AD, but i'm not to deep yet, so i'm not sure if that
is what i need.

any direction would be much appreciated.. except from sales people.

Hi

Some tools/tips at this web site:

Might also look into the Office Resource Kit and configuring Outlook
profiles with an Outlook Profile File (PRF file):
