I am running a Windows 2000 native mode network with Exchange 2000. All user workstations are Windows 2000 Pro. All users run a common mandatory profile, with folder redirection set up for My Documents, AppData and Desktop, that sends these items to their home directory. Each user has a copy of Default.PRF in their home directory that is used to configure Outlook 2000 as their mail client this is set up at logon using the profgen util. I need to continue to use mandatory profiles as the pupils have a tendency to "adjust" their settings.
I have 2 problems; 1. Users who have logon initials that are similar to others (ie JW is similar to JWP) have to choose their mailbox name every time they go in to Outlook. Users with unique logon IDs do not have a problem. I need to get it to remember their mailbox name, once they have picked it from the list the first time. I have already tried editing the Default.PRF in the users home dir and replacing the initials with their full mailbox name, but this has no benefit. I had always assumed that all this information was kept in the application data folder. 2. Customisations to Outlook (i.e. Outlook Shortcut Bar, and Views) are not retained when a users closes Outlook.
