corporate or Internet only

I have Exchange server and all that and all my machines have Office on them.
For some reason I have some machines that when a new person signs on then
opens Outlook, Outlook sets itself up as INTERNET ONLY.
I have to sign that person off, sign on as Administrator, open Outlook,
change it to Coporate. Close Outlook, reopen it for it to copy over all teh
files.
Sign off, then back on as the user and setup their account.

They will be fine from then on, but if a new person signs on, I go through
the same crap all over again.

How to I make it so I don't have to do that anymore??

How was Outlook originally installed? If using a GPO or .mst, ensure that
you have the mode set in your setup files.

In addition to Milly's reply, look into using roaming profiles so you can
set up a new user's profile wherever you wish and have it "follow" them
around. Users shouldn't have to muck around with profiles.
