Alex,

If you want to approach this from that angle, please do. However, when a new person comes into the company, and they login the first time, this is using tools from Office Developer's Kit to generate a new profile. If, once the user's profile is setup for Outlook, you can then use a COM/UDF to call Outlook.

Looking at the files supplied by Microsoft that are referenced in the script, here is what they mean...

  • FIXPRF.EXE - "Fixes the PRF file before generation of the inbox."
  • PROFGEN.EXE - "Generates an e-mail profile."
  • NEWPROF.EXE - "Creates a new e-mail profile."
  • WINNT.PRF - "A File that is composed like an INI that is setup to tell what e-mail server you are using, etc. and is called by NEWPROF or PROFGEN (if uncommented)."

HTH,

- Kent
