How to Configure Outlook CW Mailbox and server by GPO

M

MG

Hello All,

I am having a little problem.

I am running a Windows 2003 Server with Terminal Services in Application
Mode.
On this server, we installed Office 2003.
We configured for all TS users the SAME mandatory profile.
Since we do NOT want users to change any settings.

But, all users log-in with there own credentials.
And they have their own mailbox on our Exchange Server.

I found out that i can change a lot of things in Group Policy Object-editor
for Office and Outlook. But i can't find how to change the Exchange Server
and/or mailbox name for my users in GPO.

Is it possible to change only the Exchange Server and/or Mailbox by GPO ,
Register or Scripting?

Thanx a lot

GPO is the wrong tool. Instead you can use the Custom Maintenance Wizard in
the Office Resource Kit to create an Outlook profile and either deploy with
a CMW .cmw file or export the .prf and deploy that as part of each user's
login. The Exchange server name is part of the settings in the .prf. You can
use %username% to pull the user's mailbox/login name from that environment
variable. The ORK has full details.
