Setup outlook to connect to exchange server

[Guest 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

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
