Hi Everyone:

We have a requirement here to modify all users Outlook profiles so that they
each have access to their own PST file (that currently exists in a located
in a specific location that's unique to each user). Is it possible to do
this via the user's logon script, and if so, how?


Regards,
Brian

Hey Brian,

This is possible. I just had a quick look at our scripts and it looks like
you need to search for:

profgen.exe and also newprof.exe

These applications run on a remote server and crreate a .prf file in a user
folder.

If I get a chance later - might be able to give you some more!

Have a good day!

Profgen and Newprof haven't been used in a couple of versions. Outlook 2002 and 2003 are the tools that process the PRF file. You can create such .prf files with the Custom Installation Wizard or Custom Maintenance Wizard tools in the Office Resource Kit. For more details, including a variety of .prf deployment methods, read the excellent white paper "Configuring Outlook Profiles by Using a PRF File" at http://office.microsoft.com/search/r...c_60I&respos=3
