Outlook Prompt for Profile

[Dan Sullivan]

I have deployed a script that calls a CMW file (created using wizard) to use
%UserName% so anyone who logs on their email will automatically pop up. Some
users already have multiple profiles, so they want to be prompted. After
deploying the CMW to a few test people, the check box is checked that "prompt
for profile to be used" but it defaults to checking the %USERNAME%.

How can you get Outlook to Autoconfigure but also allow for a prompt.

P.S. I checked their "PickLogonProfile" registry key and it is set to 1
(prompt), but it's not.

Do you mean that you're trying to create a mail profile with the person's username? You can't do that. %username% is not supported as the name of the profile.
