MS Office Forum / Outlook / Installation and Configuration / March 2006Mail profiles
How do I make the exisiting mail profile so it cannot be changed? This is the first mail profile on the PC and once it has been auto configured from the Custom install wizard we don't want another user to login and open Outlook and have it change the default mail profile and cache it's email. Can we stop this from happening, is there a setting somewhere? Thanks Clindell It's not clear from your post whether each users is logging on under their own Windows login or whether they're using a common login.

We only want the user who is assigned to the PC to get a profile Which happens when the PC is first installed and it auto configures. Other times a traveling user may sit at an empty desk and forget that they need to use OWA and should not open Outlook. If the traveling user were to open Outlook it would then attempt to create an additional profile and cache it's email on the PC that is someone's else's and in some cases that could amount to more than a gig of mail that should be caching on that PC which takes up bandwidth and space on the hard drive. Does this make sense? Thanks Clindell It's not clear from your post whether each users is logging on under their own Windows login or whether they're using a common login.

That way, the traveling user who starts Outlook wouldn't cache any data on the local machine. Another tactic might be to remove the Outlook shortcuts from the Start Menu in the AllUsers profile folders I think you may also be able use Group Policy Object settings to prevent a user from running particular programs, but exactly how to implement that in your scenario is beyond my puny GPO knowledge.
