I know this is off topic but ..

I .. would like to use .. outlook or outlook express as the e-mail client.

The problem is automatically configuring outlook or outlook express for our students as they login to the network network. dose anyone have a utility to do this?

I think you'll want to read some of the Microsoft Office documentation about user profiles.

Pay special attention to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook\

You could run a script for each user to configure the profile setting for each user's imap server and smtp server, or if you have Active Directory, you might be able to set it up through Group Policy if student machines are joined to your domain.

I haven't tried this, but you may get away with exporting the relevant registry keys to a .reg file, which students can merge into their own registry by doudble-clicking on it.

DISCLAIMER: Editing the registry can break applications and the operating system. Use at your own risk. Keep backups, or be prepared to reinstall if things go wrong.
