True, but with the Exprofe tool you have to specify each users X.500 address.
Although this is possible and creating the 500 user specific logon scripts,
I don't interpret that as being a resonable option. Each of the users will
have the same mail server. I did not find a place in the registry the
explicitly defines the users mail server.
Can you point out where I can make that change in the registry? Is it
possible to script this action with one of the scriipting technologies
available? What are alternative choices I can go about this procedure?
Thanks!
