These machines have serveral users and they each have
a .pst file. I ran a scanpst.exe on one of the files and
it came back with no errors. I logged on as admin and
there was no 'internet email' setup for admin on that
machine. I created a 'internet email' account for him
using the wizard. After I finished, Outlook hung. I have
rebooted several times on all machines. Also if there is
no internet email or .pst file associated with the logged
on user, outlook still hangs on opening instead of giving
messages to create a connection or starting a wizard. If
I right click the outlook icon and select properties, it
is either blank and I can select 'add' to start the wizard
or If there is an account listed, then you can only view
the properties of that account. There are no profiles to
edit.
