You need to enable the User Roamin Profiles. Create a DOMAIN policy and set the directories you want to update in there. Use the user's home drive to store the dictionary files, personal address book and so on. It can only be done using ROAMING PROFILES in an NT type environment with NT/2000 workstations (doesn't work with 9x)
This is how we do it, for a much greater number of users.
I hope this helps. MS has a lot of articles on how to set-up domain policies and roaming profiles (there are several white-papers). I'd suggest you examine these, they can be used as "best practices".

I guess a little more info will help. All of the computers on my network including the server are NT 4.0. I also have roaming profiles setup for everyone with User Profile Path, a simple logon script for mapping and the user Home Directory. If I leave the Outlook files in there original location (after Outook setup) I dont get some of the files updated to the server because they are stored in the "Local Settings" directory which does not get updated. I can use a registery hack to alow this directory to get updated to the server and this works, but if you go to another computer it comes up with can't find .PST file. This is also true if I relocate the files directly to the server. I must be missing a file on the local hard drive that is notstored in the user profile directory. Some thing that tells Outlook where the .PST file is stored. I am grabing all the following files in the user profile directory...
"Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\"
and
"Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\"
I hope this addon info helps a little more. Thanks
