; 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.

Anyone has any idea how to run outlook.exe /importprf in quiet mode?

I too ran into this problem today and was unable to find a solution
documented anywhere. As I guess, I added the line "BackupProfile=No"
in the Section 1, [General] section and it works! Give it a try. It
sure would be nice if there was documentation for the new .prf file
format in Outlook 2002!
