PRF and Office2003

Hi we use GPO to push out the Outlook profiler (PRF)
to local machines once user logs on the first time.

We created a .adm file which contains scripts that
resets the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\
Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup) named
"First-Run" to the value of zero(0) and a second
registry named "ImportPRF" which points to the
location of the PRF file.

This works fine, EXCEPT, every time after closing
and reopening Outlook a new Outlook profile is
created the previous profile(s) changed to 'Backup'
status.

In the end even just closing and reopening outlook
we get a growing list of profiles.

Question: How can we modify the script so that no
new outlook profile gets created each time Outlook
is reopened?

Thanks much for any ideas. rbc1.

In the [General] section of the .prf file, add this statement:

BackupProfile=No

replacing any BackupProfile=Yes statement, if one is present.
