Outlook 2003 Connecting To Exchange Account - Mandatory Profile Issue

[Richie1972]

Our school has an externally hosted Exchange server.

The workstations are windows xp.

Staff have roaming profiles and I'm using a prf file to configure their email, which works fine - they open Outlook, are prompted for password (twice the first time they use outlook) and log in fine (only requiring one login each time after that).

Students have mandatory profiles and when they log in to Outlook it prompts them for their password twice.

I know this is down to the profile being created each time and I also know that you can't build the outlook configuration into the mandatory profile as it will try to connect to the exchange account used when configuring the mandatory profile.

So, how do we get round the double login or do I just tell the students to put up with it?
