Automate Outlook Profiles ... Newprof and PRF

From an Outlook Newbie ..
Like other questions in this area, I want a user to login to a PC and have
an Outlook profile created.
I've read the Outlook whitePaper Customizing a PRF, and it's fine, but at
this point a bit too granular for me. What I need is more of an overview on
just what I'm trying to accomplish.

At t his time, I plan to d/l newprof and modify a PRF to use in the login
script.
Do I simply evoke newprof from the script?
How can I test if a profile already exsits for the user?
Am I on the rioght track so far?
thanks
