Problems using modprof.exe

Hi,

when I use Modprof (utily to modify Outlook 2000
profiles), I encountered the following problems :

- when I modify existing Outlook profile, it (modprof)
delete Outlook Address Book service
- when I modify existing Outlook profile, it (modprof)
delete supplementaries mailboxes
- modprof is case sensitive and doesn't recognize profiles
in uppercase if the USERNAME variable is in lower case

In the PRF description file, in section 4 [service 3]
related to Outlook Address Book, we cannot set something.
Here are the settings in my PRF file :
; Sample PRF file for creating Outlook profiles in
Corporate or Workgroup configuration

to create a PRF file that will

; be modified; DO NOT MODIFY SECTIONS 6 and 7. It will
most likely prevent the profile
; from being properly created Be very careful when editing
to ensure property values
; match their property types.

determines the kind and number
; of MAPI services, while section 3 determines the number
of accounts. Sections 4 and
; 5 are also similar. Section 4 determines specific
settings for each MAPI service,
; while section 5 determines specific settings for
Internet Accounts. Finally, sections
; 6 and 7 are also similar; they display the possible
settings for MAPI services and
; Internet Accounts, respectively.
