Default Automate creation of POP3/SMTP account via PRF

Hi all,

If there a way to crate the POP3/SMTP account and tell it to use my PST
file that's in my user folder on a server via PRF File?

I see there's a section for internet mail and tried looking for the
commands but have had little luck.

any info would be helpfull.

Yes, you can create a PRF that includes an override location for the PST. The PST details would be included in section 2 (Services). Have you reviewed the PRF Whitepaper available for download at the Office Resource Kit page? Appendix B of that document is a sample PRF with notations.

NOTE: If you are using Office 2003, you can also specifiy the placement of the PST thorugh the Custom Installation Wizard.

Thanks that works well.
