Setup outlook to connect to exchange server

[Yuri GMT+1]

Hi,

I have a terminal server (w2k3) and exchange server 2003.
I want to use outlook 2003 to connect to the exchange server.

When I try to make a new e-mail account via the Outlook client on the
Terminal Server the system tells that I have to create new MS
Echange-accounts via E-mail in control panel. This works for me since I’m an
administrator.

How can I do this for my users?
(my users do not have access to control panel).

Thanks in advance,
Yuri

RE: Setup outlook to connect to exchange server

Hi,

I found the solution myself.
It can be done by using a kix login script.

First create a *.prf file

Then deploy the prf file with the login script.
There are some other options:

The login addition I made:

IF INGROUP ("ExchangeProfile")
DelValue("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup","First-Run")

WriteValue("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup","ImportPRF","%LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\Outlook.prf","REG_SZ")
ENDIF

Cheers,
Yuri
