Any ideas, apart from moving to Exchange :-)

The workstation is being built using riprep which is based on a ris image
with office (and other apps) installed after. I build the machine, logon as
outlook.test setup internet email in outlook and configure pst to work from
server and test email works. I then rebuild the pc logon as outlook.test open
Outlook it goes through a 'used for the first time' type install where you
enter your name details and then forces me to setup an email account.
Sorry for all the hassle and thanks for the responses, but if you have any
further ideas that would be great.
