Hi Jignesh,

Thank you for posting!

When I replied your post dated on July 14, 2004, I have thought about the
method to export the existing Outlook Express Internet Account to IAF file
and then import the IAF file in logon script. However, it is hard to import
IAF by command or Window script. I tried to search Internet, but failed to
find a dos-based utility to import IAF to Outlook Express.

So, I suggest exporting the registry keys and then importing the keys in
logon script.

The below are the steps I mentioned in my message dated on July 14, 2004.

1. Click Start, point to Run
2. Type REGEDIT and press Enter
3. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER, expand Identities, you will see a key with a
long ID. Expand this key.
4. Expand Software, expand Microsoft, then right click Outlook Express,
choose Export from the context menu.
5. Save it as Outlook.REG
6. Repeat the above steps to locate and export the below registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager\Accounts
7. Save it as Account.REG

To import the REG file in the Logon script, you may try the command

REGEDIT /s [Full Path of Outlook.REG]\Outlook.REG
REGEDIT /s [Full Path of Account.REG]\Account.REG

Note,
1. Full Path of Account.REG or Outlook.REG is the full path of the location
of the two REG files. For example, \\ComputerName\ShareName
2. /s is used to import the registry keys silently.

I hope that I have explained clearly this time. Please feel free to post
back if you have any questions or concerns.

Have a nice day!

Thanks & Regards,
