I need help on the following:

we need to change some configuration files remotely, on Windows we
use a ".ins" file that changes the following:

e-mail account - mail servers (pop & smtp), login ID & password,
username

news account - news server

proxy configuration

we also add favorites to the Internet Explorer. (internal business
links)

Is there a way to do this with Mac computers using AppleScript?  All
the computers use Microsoft Internet Explorer (including the Macs) and
Outlook Express, all computers are connected through LAN - there is no
need to configure a dial up account.  

if you reply through mail, delete the "-nospam"

I would be eternally grateful ;-)

Kind regards,

Raf
