I just need the script to set the settings in the outlook so it can connect to my local exchange and get the e-mail for the user.
thats it

Oh yes you can (put this in a script i mean)

you will need

profgen.exe
newprof.exe
outlook.prf

All of these files are from microsoft and come with the exchange reskit (i think), but i'll send them to you if you can't get them elsewhere. Basically, your login script runs profgen (the outlook profile generator) which in turn runs newprof, which creates the users outlook profile from the settings in the outlook.prf file - which you edit yourself and works for all users.
