I'm trying to script a way to add and remove accounts to a users Outlook profile. I _think_ adding can be done by creating PRF files but how can you delete an account without Exchange? We already have in place a web interface where we can say what users should be reading what email accounts, the output of the webpage writes a txt config file. Currently we use Thunderbird but users are wanting Outlook (for some reason, we don't run Exchange). In Thunderbird, when it starts, via an autoit script, it checks the webpage config file, looks to see what email accounts the user should be reading, each account has an ID we set in the web php, the script them looks in the users pref.js file for the ID's they should be ready and those that they shouldn't be reading anymore. The users pref.js is then edited, the lines with the ID they don't need to read are removed, for accounts that need adding, a template segment of pref.js file is copied locally, the ID number is inserted and the file is cat'ed to the users prefs.js. Thunderbird is then started and displays the email accounts that user should be reading, job done. This is what I'm trying to reproduce but with Outlook. Thoughts.... thanks. Chris
