Outlook/Outlook Express setup script/program?

[Atomic]

I have like 40 new PCs to setup the users email on. Its mainly in OE.

Basically I need something I can put all the server info in and it only asks for the email name, email addy, user name & password. Then sets up the account for me.

Id be happy with something that I can enter all the details on one screen so I dont have to use the annoying wizard to do it everytime!

Prob a longshot, but worth a try!

You can script outlook to use a profile using the profile tool in the office resource kit.

Doubt people would be happy moving away from something they've been using for years sadly.

Looks like I'll be doing it by hand

They'd thank you in the long run with teh reduction in spam and protection from virii. And it's not that much of a change from Outlook Express, it's a pretty intuitive client. Looks like a good opportunity for you to put a business case together to your management indicating the potential benefits and win yourself some brownie points.

Things dont change quickly in Eductaion sadly, 'if it works why change it?' is the attitude

+we have spam & virus protection at the server.
