Hi,

If you would like to automate the setup of Outlook 2003 using scripting then it's possible to run the Outlook.exe file with the /importPRF command line switch. A PRF file specifies the configuration for Outlook and should allow you to create an Outlook profile with Exchange mailbox using the appropriate options specified within a text file. See the following Microsoft support web site http://support.microsoft.com and specify the document Article ID: 308300 for a reasonable explanation of the process. Links at the bottom of the document will give more specific details like command line switches supported.

If you are looking for greater deployment flexibility and more configurable options then a product like http://www.outlookprofile.com will provide an integrated solution you'll need to pay for.
