I usually use the following KIXtart script:

; Set Outlook as default email handler through registry
WriteValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail","","Microsoft Outlook","REG_SZ")

; Create Outlook profile
$objADSystemInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
$objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" + $objADSystemInfo.UserName)

Run "<path_to>\RichProfile.exe <exchange_server> "+ $objUser.mail + " Default N D"

Replace <path_to> and <exchange_server> as appropriate and you should be good. You can download RichProfile from here.

You can also use the ORK to create PRF files:
