Automatic configuration of Outlook

[sysadmin]

When a staff member logs on to a Windows PC for the first time and then
proceeds to use Outlook, he/she can't because Outlook needs to be configured
to use the Exchange Server. From there on, he/she can use that PC... until
they decide to log on to a different PC and the cycle starts again.

How do can I achieve the following:

Have Outlook automatically configure itself for our Exchange server?

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
