Hi Peter,
 
we rolled out the SAP MAPI using two technologies:
 
- the "newprof" functionality which allows you to do the setup of the =
MAPI
via ini-files, please check the OSS and the MAPI documentation for that
point
- and a packaging and distribution tool under Windows NT (I don=B4t =
remember
the tool name but every network administrator should have one at hand)
 
After the background installation the user only had to enter his SAP =
User
and password in a small popup and the rollout was done.
 
But we had some trouble if we wanted to do updates of the MAPI this =
way,
those updates had to be done manually at most of the clients.
 
Good luck,
 
Markus

All,
 
We would like to roll out the SAP MAPI service to all of our SAP user =
base
(maybe 500 or so users) so that they can process their work items from
Outlook 98.  Does anyone know of an way to automate this roll out =
without
requiring manual intervention by each user?
 
Regards

PS.  I am happy enough to develop a solution however the Outlook 98 =
object
model does not expose the Services collection.
