Configuring Profile in Office XP through a prf file

G

Guest

I have created a prf file through the Custom Installation Wizard for Office
XP. I am trying to set up a Profile which has a new email account. That email
account is an exchange server email account. I can configure the Profile name
and the exchange server but I can not get the prf file to configure the
username correctly. What is wrong with the following prf file. I am setting
the new profile name in section 1 and setting the exchange server and
username in section 4. When I go and appy this prf file and go to profile
properties and look at the email account exchange server settings and the
server is set but the username is not set.

What do I need to do to the prf to correctly apply the username when I
change it in the prf file?

I know that if the username is set to %UserName% the profile will
configure the profile with a mailbox user name the same as the user's
Windows login. I want to be able to set the mailbox and have it applied as
the username under the exchange server settings.
name.

Thanks for all your help.

Is the username unique or does it have some characters in common with
another name? Try using:

=aliasname

with the equals sign in front to force an exact match to the mailbox alias.

Sue,

Are you suggesting the following:

[Service1]
OverwriteExistingService=No
UniqueService=Yes
MailboxName==aliasname
HomeServer=Mail
AccountName=Microsoft Exchange Server

[ServiceEGS]
MailboxName==aliasname
Click to expand...

Or just omit the second '=' sign?

I have a similar problem in that people's usernames are different than
people's email addresses.


Thanks

Yes, that's it exactly. I know it looks weird, but it's very cool in
operation. When using the environment variable, I always have:

MailboxName==%USERNAME%

So how does it resolve the MailboxName==aliasname if it's not a variable on
the system?

Inquiring mind wants to know. :)

Yes, I was suggesting a solutoin for a different, but common problem, where
you have both billg and billga in the organization and don't want the user
to have to go through a name resolution dialog.

In your situation, one solution would be to use a script to set an
environment variable -- maybe call it %mailname% -- when the Windows user
logs on, based on some AD lookup to get the mail alias, and use that
environment variable in the prf file. Another would be to have a script
modify the prf file directly. And, there are third-party tools to do this
sort of thing for you; see http://www.slipstick.com/exs/olroam.htm#tools
