You cannot set the profile name with an environment variable, nor should you need to, given that each user in your scenario would have their own Windows login.

Howdy all.
Thanks for replies/information.

I modified the custom11.prf file to use our exchange server and have
tried it twice and it works.
Now I'm looking for information on how I may use the user's name
variable, e.g. %username%, that I used to create the .OST file as the
profile
name. When I used it (%username%), the profile name was just that not
JDoe or John Doe which is what I would really like. I read the
Outlook
Deployment Options: Customizing a PRF File but it did not address how
to create a profile name on the fly via the .PRF.

Below is the profile section that I'm using.

Thanks,
Rey
