Configuring Outlook XP (2002), 2003 and 2007 is way easier then the older versions. You can just tell outlook to import a default PRF file. You can create several files for different departments, offices, cities, etc... if needed. Juts make sure you set the correct PRF file to be imported by outlook.
You can create these PRF file with the custom installation wizard that comes with Office 2003 in the resource kit or with it's counterpart for office 2007 (they changed the name a bit).
I have been using this way of configuring outlook for several years now and never had any problems with it. This way you don’t need profgen and/or newprof.
Delete the following registry key value : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\[office version goes here]\Outlook\Setup\First-Run.
In the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\[office version goes here]\Outlook\Setup subkey, set the value of ImportPRF to a string value that specifies the name and path of the PRF file. For example, set ImportPRF to \\server1\share\outlook.prf.
Office version:
Office XP (2002) = 10.0
Office 2003 = 11.0
Office 2007 = 12.0
