Profile Generator for OL2002

M

Mary Patricia

Our desktop guy is on leave and I am having the hardest time with this!
Someone has made a change to the outlook.prf file we've deployed on the
network (it was an approved change but no one caught a typo in it) and now
when our users use our newprof.exe tool, they get a blank empty set of .pst
files instead of being pointed to our Exchange server. I wanted to edit the
outlook.prf to get the users' profile set up--- I don't care right now about
mass deployment and would be content with something I can paste to the
user's C drive on-demand. I'm just having a real hard time getting this file
tweaked properly. Could someone please point out for me how to edit this
file so that the Exchange server is set to the default service, the server
name is given, and the user's mailbox name/alias equals his/her login ID?
Thanks a ton--- I really appreciate it!

Outlook 2002 doesn't use Newprof, IIRC. You run .prf files directly in that version.

The best tools for creating a new .prf files would be the Office XP Custom Installation Wizard or Custom Maintenance Wizard.
