VBScript Error 70 Permissions

[Guest_imported]

I am using a VBScript to create mail messages Createobject("Outlook.Application&quot. The script is called from within a DOS batch file (Yes I know it is state of the ark but thats what the legacy application runs under). All works fine until the batch file is executed using an AT command on NT.
The AT is set up to run under a specific user account. The moment the VBScript tries to create the Outlook object I get an error 70. I guess that some form of registry update is trying to happen but I do not know which one I need to change permissions on. I have checked MSDN but have had no luck.

Please help a very very frustrated person, who's boss is now getting a bit upset that the new e-mailing system he promised his users does not work!.

I'm pretty sure that in order for Outlook to function a profile needs to be set up on the machine for the user calling it. In this case it is a service account of some sort. You should be able to figure out the reg keys necessary for a profile to be detected for the service account.

Otherwise, look at the MSDN article below...
