Hi all,
Seems funny that trying to make one(1) change to an existing Outlook profile can be so difficult with ModProf.
All I want to do is change the Exchange server name (a post migration project)
I can get the util to create a new profile and point to the right service ok.
Most of the time I can only manage to get a new profile created, even with the same name for the profile specified as it deletes the original and recreates one with the same name.
This means that any extra customisations are lost. (NOT GOOD).
As soon as I try and use the
*ModifyExistingProfileIfPresent=True* with *OverwriteExistingService=Yes*, modprof fails with a
*Unable to get unique identifier for [Microsoft Outlook Client]
and on the next line
*ObtainUIDfromSz[] - [0x8004010f]*
I think I am confused with the usage of the .prf file and its possible settings.
Here is my attempt so far
; ************************************************************************

;ProfileName=Microsoft Outlook

; The LongAccountName always has to be "Internet E-mail -" + <space> + AccountName
Please Help.
