yvonne, I use the same newprof tool for all outlook versions.
when it produces errors, it probably is not outlook related but the outlook.prf you're trying to use might be misconfigured.
one thing more, is that in my case I had to write a small script for newprof utilization.
it swithces the username for newprof as it seems to check it from the registry.
code:
$ = readvalue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles","DefaultProfile")
if @error and @inwin=1
? ? " Ladataan sähköposti-asetukset palvelimelta..." sleep 2
$temp = readvalue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MS Setup (ACME)\User Info","DefName")
$ = writevalue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MS Setup (ACME)\User Info","DefName",@fullname,"reg_sz")
shell @ldrive+"Profiles\newprof.exe -P "+@ldrive+"Profiles\exchange.prf"
$ = writevalue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MS Setup (ACME)\User Info","DefName",$temp,"reg_sz")
endif
the prf I use is the default:
quote:
; Outlook PRF file for Exchange Server users
; -------------------------------------------
; Copyright (C), Microsoft Corporation, 1996.
;
; The following PRF file is included as an example of how to create a PRF file that will
; configure Outlook users with Exchange Server. Section 1, 2, and 3 may be modified.
; DO NOT MODIFY SECTION 4. It will most likely cause Exchange services to crash.
; Be very careful when editing to ensure property values match their property types.
; NOTE: The HomeServer setting for the Microsoft Exchange Server must be filled in
; before using this file.
;
; For information about how to disable Outlook Profile Setup and instead use the
; the Inbox Setup Wizard, see NONE.PRF in the Office Resource Kit.
offcourse the profilename is changed to make it more specific than just outlook profile.
and homeserver also.
user info is read from reg like I said and it should work like charm, with these changes.
cheers,
