How do I setup outlook profiles using a Windows Login Script?

[Minor Alfaro]

Hi, I have computers where several user login, and I need to configure
Outlook automatically when a user logs in ( I mean, automatically create the
profile if it does not exist) This will help me with user configuration and
will prevent problems when formatting a computer and the users are not
available to configure the mail at that point. I know this can be done, but
cannot remember how. Thanks for all your help!

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.
