Hello all,
I am about to enable roaming profiles for my users. The issue i am not sure of concerns those users with outlook email client profiles set up on their PCs. Will outklook automatically get reconfigured for them when there log in at another workstation? Can someone tell me if there are any other things I need to configure re:Outlook/Exchange server before roaming will ork properly?
Thank you

When a user log's into the AD the Application/User settings get's updated in the roaming Documents and Settings folder for that user. The only thing I would worry about is migrating their account to the new user login profile. That should be as easy as copying their existing profile to the new roaming profile on the server.

Dear Friend
As per the Defination of roaming profile
whatever you will configure it will get updated at server and you dont have to reconfigure it on other compuerts if that user is going 5to log on to that domain on any machine.So if outlook is config once it need not to be config again .

Requirements:
- if it is possible use the same email client for all users on all PCs
- store the PST files for all users in a network location in different folders (for example in "home drive" of each user)
- map the "home drive" for each user using a login script

I don't know how are the clients configured now and where are the PST files to give you more detail.
After you enabled the roaming profile and (re)configured the MS Outlook the preferences, settings and emails of a user will be saved in "home drive/*.pst.
You'll can use any PC without problems.
