Hi,
We are looking how to setup out Outlook 2003 profiles on Citrix.
We have several apps that use MAPI to send email. All of them cannot find a MAPI profile when sending e-mail.
In the past we managed create outlook profiles using a loginscript with NEWPROF and a .PRF file. For what we understand out of the MS Docs you can still use a .PRF file and fire it up silent out of the registry.

However this doesn't do the trick for us. We need to pre-populate our Outlook profiles. The mentioned outlook regsitry keys only do their trick when Outlook is started itself.
How can we manage to set it up that a user has an MAPI profile when the loginscript has run?
Thanks.
With kind regards,
Mark
Use the Office 2003 Custom Installation Wizard. You can pre-populate the Exchange server information and include the file with you Office installation.
You mean installing with a transform file? Cause we did that.
We have a similar dependancy with an app that does a MAPI send. The trick we use is to check on logon whether the user had initialized Outlook (used it at least once) and if not then start Outlook for them. The 'problem' with OLK2K3 is that although you create a profile for them, MAPI won't work until the Outlook is started sucessfully at least once. Just write up a script that checks if some of the keys for Outlook are populated and if they are note, launch Outlook.
