No, 2003. And yes, all mail stored in Exchange (you'd slap my wrists if it
wasn't wouldn't you? :) and as soon as they logon to PC2, they get a profile.
What am I missing ? Still haven't checked the printer thingy - I'm on UK time
and it's getting late!

Hi Lanwench,
Now you've got me thinking. I've never setup Roaming Profiles but
whenever clients staff move from PC to PC, their Outlook data does
actually 'follow' them, ie, their email etc is the same on PC2 as it
was on PC1.
Sure, if they have all their mail stored in Exchange & have a profile on
thenew computer. The latter is the question.
Actually, I'm sure this is what you told me would happen
before I got into installing SBS about 18 months ago ! :) I've not
checked the printer thing though, I just expect that to happen. I'm
now not sure if I'm doing something wrong or right here :)
Using Outlook 2007, perhaps?
Regards Colin.

Hi Everyone,
I have a question about auto configuring users.
Firstly, when a new PC is added to an SBS network, we can use
http://server/connectcomputer to set it up. This configures Outlook,
sets up printers, and a whole list of other awesome bits and pieces.
Actually, this isn't done when you do connectcomputer. That
*installs* stuff. The user-specific portions are handled by the
SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT setup....if the user has local admin rights (which,
if you grant, should be revoked after the first login). And those
settings don't apply again, if the user moves to another computer
unless you've addresed that by other means, such as roaming profiles
and
Now here's my question. When creating a new user account that is
going to be used on an existing PC (already on the domain), is there
a method that will allow for these settings be be configured
automatically?
Sure - google for "outlook profile" and "automatic" or variations on
same, or search www.slipstick.com for 'profiles'
When I set up a new user, I always log in as them remotely to a
workstation to tweak their profile, but I'm a bit, er, retentive.
The reason I ask is, I have to set up user accounts remotely, but
then some of my less computer literate users have troubles, because
'outlook isn't working' or 'I can't print to a network printer'. If
it was automatic, it would be so much easier for them.
You can deploy printers automatically via many means - group policy,
etc-
Got R2?
