Create and auto-configure Outlook 2013 profile based on active directory user
Is it possible to create and automatically configure an Outlook 2013 profile based on a user account in
active directory? If not, is there an out-of-the-box solution for this? I have seen some information about applying group policy settings but it does default settings, not user-specific (signatures, out of office replies, categories, rules, nk2). I'm happy
to provide more information if required.

In a domain environment, you can use GPO to prepopulate the username in Outlook's connection dialog, so all the users need to do is start Outlook and press the Next button to complete the profile creation. You will need the ADMX templates for Office 2013 if you haven't installed them already: www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx
The policy name is "Automatically configure profile based on Active Directory Primary SMTP address", located under User configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Microsoft Outlook 2013 -> Account settings -> Exchange.
