I just did this with office not sure if it's the same method with 2k/xp. I used the Office Reskit application for Custom installation to create a custom MST Transform file which I applied to my network distribution point for office. Using the MST I was able to auto configure new user accounts after initial push of office package. You can easily push office packages with customized MST files via GPO.

You can also look at the MS Office 2000/2003 Resource Kit's, they contain custom adm's for Office/Outlook. The reskit's also contain the Profile Wizard that you could use to customize these type of settings through a login/start-up script through a GPO.

Morning all! Is there a way I can setup outlook (Exchange server name, View style etc.) automatically when the new user logs in on 2000 or XP. I am thinking that there must be some way to utilize group policy for this. Any help? John Parker, MCSE IS Admin. Senior Technical Specialist Alpha Display Systems.
