[OL2003] adding exchange account to profile by PRF file

J

Jannick Asmus

Hi,

a PRF file (as shown below) generates an exchange account within a
separately generated profile. I would like to change the PRF file such
that the exchange account is added to the already existing profile
called "Outlook" such that there is no need to switch profiles all the time.

What adjustments are needed? I think section 4 is the most important part.

Thanks for your help.

Best wishes,
J.

NB: XXXXXX denotes the account on the exchange server. In the code below
it is the name of the profile generated by PRF, as well.

Actually, Section 1 is the most important. Is the profile you want to modify the default or do you want it to become the default? Are you trying to modify a profile with a particular name?

In any event, you can generate a new .prf file through CIW and CMW, choose the "modify" options, export the .prf and see what it looks like.
