Autocreate Outlook 2003 profiles, in the Profiles / User Environment forum on BrianMadden.com

Yes, the same way as outlined above. You configure the registry key in their profile to import the prf.

but the registry key is making the change to HKCU. I want the change to happen to any user that logs into the terminal server.

HKCU is any user from the users' perspective. In other words, you would configure this setting within the logon script. Remember that HKCU is the currently logged in user.

Another way of looking at it is that HKCU is a "symbolic link" to the HKEY_USERS key.

So i make the reg change in HKEY_USERS and it should effect all users correct?

I guess i should have asked where exactly in the registry do i make the change to effect all users.

Thanks.

Just tried it thru HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook.

There was no Setup folder so i created it and the key. I logged a new user into the server and it still asked to setup the mailbox.

what am i missing?

In the logon script your make the change to HKCU. That will affect each users' individual registry as they log in.

Hi Rudy,
Im having the same issue with a Windows 2003 terminal server. I am able to call a login script from the c:\windows\system32 directory that launches outlook, does an import from a profile and opens the users email.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REM @ECHO OFF

C:
CD %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11
start outlook.exe /importprf "F:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\akapicterm.PRF"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It works fine except for the fact that I am hoping to achieve an import without Outlook opening.
I read through the posts and documentation and Im not understanding the concept:-)

Iv looked on the Windows 2003 terminal server registry for;

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup\ImportPRF
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup\First-Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup\FirstRun

But cant find any of the keys or values under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup\.........

I created new keys (string values)in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup\ but still havent acieved success.

Could you explan how to do this once more........ My thick head is not getting it:-)
Thank You for your time,
Shawn
