How to implement the Office 2003 automatic Configuration Mail account

As you know, Outlook in Office 2003 does not support Autodiscover, and you want to automate the reading of server information during the configuration of your mail account, at least the version of client office is being upgraded to office 2007, but in many cases to manually configure the mail account is a very tedious, and very boring things, especially for some of the weak IT environment, the administrator may most often do is to configure the Outlook account for employees, then there is no way to make this process easier, I did a little experiment a few days ago and I'll introduce you to the bottom.

The main idea of this method is actually very simple, is to use the Oct this tool, the OCT this tool before the blog has been introduced, in the process of upgrading and deploying Office, this tool will become very useful, just described in the OCT about the configuration and upgrade part of Office features, A few days ago, a simple study of the outlook in the Oct section, found that some features are very useful, such as using a PRF file to automatically configure Outlook account, this is the way we implement automatic configuration of mail accounts in Outlook 2003

Our implementation environment is simple.

1. A single Exchange 2010 server

2. One DC, simultaneously acting as CA, DHCP, DNS role

3. A Windows 8 client that installs the Office 2003 Enterprise version

below to introduce the implementation process

1. First, to ensure that the differences between Office versions are not too large, this time using the OCT is in Office 2007, and why the OCT in Office 2003 is not used, because there is no such thing in Office 2003, The first Oct that appears is in Office 2007, and the Oct in office 2010 and 2013 has some changes, in order to ensure that there is no problem, so we use the Oct in Office 2007, the way to enter the OCT is simple, first download office 2007 of the image, note to download the Enterprise version, or the VL version can be downloaded after the completion of the image, see the folder has admin this folder to prove that this image contains the OCT features

6. First click on the specified Exchange server settings on the left, then on the right, select Configure Exchange Server connection, enter the address or FQDN of the Exchange Server, note that the user name here remains the same, maintain the default%username%, The advantage of this method is that the account name and password of the current account will be automatically read and then authenticated by the server side by reading the content, so that you do not need to manually enter the server address and account password, then click Configure Cached Exchange Mode below. Finally click Other settings on the right

12. After you select Exchange, you will need to enter the address and user name of Exchange Server, and if it is a version above Office 2007, you should read the information directly to the server, but Office 2003 does not have this feature.

13. Take a look at what we do, copy the previously created file to the client, and you can see that Office 2003 automatically recognizes the file
