Configuring Profile in Office XP through a prf file

B

BK Drake

I have created a prf file through the Custom Installation Wizard for Office
XP. I am trying to set up a Profile which has a new email account. That email
account is an exchange server email account. I can configure the Profile name
and the exchange server but I can not get the prf file to configure the
username correctly. What is wrong with the following prf file. I am setting
the new profile name in section 1 and setting the exchange server and
username in section 4. When I go and appy this prf file and go to profile
properties and look at the email account exchange server settings and the
server is set but the username is not set.

What do I need to do to the prf to correctly apply the username when I
change it in the prf file?

I know that if the username is set to %UserName% the profile will
configure the profile with a mailbox user name the same as the user's
Windows login. I want to be able to set the mailbox and have it applied as
the username under the exchange server settings.
name.

Thanks for all your help.
