Several years ago, I deployed Office 2007 using the Office Customization Tool. I did that for two main reasons: I didn't want to have to type the product key 25 times and I pre-configured Outlook so that when a user logs on for the first time, Outlook created a profile for them and was ready to go, without them needing to know anything. Nothing fancy, nice and clean.
I want to do the same thing with Office 2013. But I'm confused on how to get the same results with Outlook.
I could choose to leave the default Outlook Profile alone and everything would work. The problem is that if I do that, then all of my new machines (or freshly reloaded machines) wouldn't have a default profile. I want to be able to keep the default, working, profile in place if its there, else I want a new profile with proper settings created.
I think the option I want to choose is to "Modify the existing profile", but I'm concerned that by doing so I'll destroy settings that my users are already used to, like rules and additional mailboxes to open. (We have a shared mailbox used by our SPAM Filter that everyone has access to.)
The idea behind all of this is I'm lazy and I don't want to recreate things that are already working if I don't have to. :)
So, I'm here to ask for help...can someone give me guidance?
Thanks in advance,
