Default PRF file creates backup of profile

I am only "applying a prf" in the cmw which is says "Outlook applies profile
changes specified in your customized PRF file." I have no other settings in
the CMW. In the prf I set "OverwriteProfile=Append"

You didn't say what your CMW file does exactly. If it creates a new profile, then what you're seeing is expected behavior. Signatures are tied to specific accounts in the current profile, so whenever you create a new profile it has no automatic signatures set up yet.

We are having the same problem with the signatures. I am using the cmw to
apply the prf and when I do the signature is set back to None. However,
the signature is still in the dropdown list. Is there some way to have the
signature left selected instead of setting it back to None?

Sorry, but you didn't really provide any details on what's happening with the signature.

that worked regarding the backup profile.
Regarding the issue with the signature not being selected is there any
solution to that?

Modify the [General] section of the PRF file to add/modify the BackupProfile parameter:

BackupProfile= No

FYI, this is a tip from my forthcoming book, "Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003," ISBN 1555583261.

i try to modify the default profile to the new exchange server. Each time i
run the prf file, it creates a backup of the old profile. The user is loosing
the signature.

Is there a way to just modify the name of the exchange server and leave the
other settings intact?
