Import Entourage profile upon login

Hello

Does anyone know if it possible to import the exchange server profile into a
entourage mac client upon login. So once the user launched entourage from
the dock it would not prompt them for any server details (my users are dumb)
Im new to login scripts for mac so bare with me.

In my AD environment i run a basic login script to copy the exchange profile
to the \office11\outlook\ location on the hard disk, it would be nice
if the user was not prompted for the account info once they launch
entourage.

Some advice would be great.Appreciated.

I don't believe what you ask for is possible directly.

However, for new deployments it should be possible to write a script that
auto-runs when a user logs in for the first time that sets up an exchange
account in Entourage - accounts are quite reasonably scriptable.

This script would then be put in the user's start up items list. It could be
a generic script for all users, picking up the username from the mac's user
profile.
