You will need newprof.exe and a configured PRF file
code:
; ****************************** Configure Outlook ******************************** $MsgKey = "$HKCUSMWNTCV\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles" $MProfile = ReadValue($MsgKey, "DefaultProfile") ;Read the current default profile IF $MProfile = "" and $os="WinNT" ;If there is not default profile, create the profile using the PRF $ExFileLoc = "c:" ;Location to copy temp file to $copysource = "$logon\newprof.prf" ;name of the template prf $File = "$ExFileLoc\newprof.PRF" ;Custom profile filename $exserver = "mailman" ;name of mailserver DEL "$File" ;Deletes any existing PRF file COPY "$copysource" "$exfileloc" ;Copies baseline PRF file to c: $section = "General" $ = WRITEPROFILESTRING ($FILE, $section, "Custom", "1") $ = WRITEPROFILESTRING ($FILE, $section, "ProfileName", "@UserID") $ = WRITEPROFILESTRING ($FILE, $section, "DefaultProfile", "Yes") $ = WRITEPROFILESTRING ($FILE, $section, "OverwriteProfile", "No") $ = WRITEPROFILESTRING ($FILE, $section, "DefaultStore", "Service2") $section = "Service List" $ = WRITEPROFILESTRING ($FILE, $section, "Service1", "Microsoft Outlook Client") $ = WRITEPROFILESTRING ($FILE, $section, "Service2", "Microsoft Exchange Server") $ = WRITEPROFILESTRING ($FILE, $section, "Service3", "Outlook Address Book") $section = "Service2" $ = WRITEPROFILESTRING ($FILE, $section, "HomeServer", "$exserver") $ = WRITEPROFILESTRING ($FILE, $section, "MailBoxName", "@userid") $ = WRITEPROFILESTRING ($FILE, $section, "OfflineAddressBookPath", "%userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook") $section = "Service3" $ = WRITEPROFILESTRING ($FILE, $section, "Ben", "True") $section = "Service4" $ = WRITEPROFILESTRING ($FILE, $section, "Ben", "True") ? " Creating New Outlook Profile..." SHELL "$logon\newprof.exe -P $File -x" ;Creates the Messaging profile DEL "$File" ;Delete temp file ENDIF

Have a SEACH on this site for REDFOX. This free utility from www.redfox.co.uk made it real easy for me to set up the roaming profiles for my clients. PS I have no relationship to Redfox. Regards, Michael
