  1. Create an Outlook PRF file. Use the Office 2003 Resource Kit.
  2. Then add this .reg file to your users' startup script. Adjust the name and location of the PRF file to your needs.

This will affect Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Setup]
"ImportPRF"="\\\\server\\scripts\\outlook_settings.prf"
"First-Run"=-
"FirstRun"=-

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup]
