Sorry, yes, true - I was speaking in terms of an unmodified TBird
installation, where the user uses the normal, unmodified 'New Account
Wizard' (Tools > Account Settings > Add Account) to create a new account.
You really should have access to the 'Advanced Settings' when creating a
new Account from scratch in an unmodified installation.

Interesting - and I might be able to use this, thanks for the pointer -
but this still requires manual work on each workstation.
What I would like to see is *proper* enterprise support... not something
that requires a lot of manual hacks and kludges to make it work.

This is pretty dated (based on 1.5 versions, and only tested a little
with 2.0.x versions)... but interesting as well.
Thanks,
