Is there anyway to automatically assign a exchange mailbox to a user through a login script. We are using windows 95 and windows 2000 pro clients. a few of the users are starting to float to different looations and i need a way to make the mailbox follow them. i don't want to set up profiles on each PC because the set at different desk. If you need anymore details on the setup let me know.

Thanks

There is a tool called Profgen.exe which is available on the Exchange server back office resource kit.

You can add this to the login script so it creates a standard Outlook profile for a new user that hasn't logged in at that workstation before.Fairly fiddly to use but will work with patience!

The full indepth instructions is in knowledge base article Q182035
on Microsofts web site.

I have read alot of info. about the profgen application. Everything talks about a .prf file and using exchange setup editor to create these files. Does that program come with exchange if so is it on the setup CD???

I found out the stfedtr.exe file comes on the exchange client install CD. I don't have this CD. Does anyone know where I can get this file. If so please let me know or email me the file at keithg@bossier.net.

What about Outlook Web Access (OWA).
You don't need to set any profiles with this.
Just point your browser to the Exchange Server. On Exchange 2000 it works better than on 5.5.
