Create fully automated Outlook profile at user first time logon to the windows

Hi experts, I do have one scenario and its quite urgent...

I have one email address, that to be act as a notification email from Outlook.

The thing is we need to have Outlook fully setup with profile and password when an user log in.

I have done the prf and plan to have it fired with VB script when user logon(using windows logon startup script function).

The prf can be successfully fired and its created profile in outlook, however the user credentials logon will be prompted everytime the user log on, and the user will not know the password, except us, email administrator.

This is carried out in

- Azure Windows server 2012

- Outlook 2013

- And the user will not access remotely to the server, they will only access to RDP, which we hosted our application.

(And the mentioned application will need to send some notification email to the users.

I hope i have not missed out anything. Anyone please shed some light for this.

Your help is appreciated !

Hi,

Based on my knowledge, we can configure the account settings in a .prf file, like incoming server and outgoing server, etc. But please note the password can't be saved in the PRF files, it's a limitation so far.

May I know what type of account is it in Outlook? Exchange, IMAP or POP? Also what's the function of the VB script you mentioned?
