What would this script do? Are you using the new Office Configuration Tool to configure your deployment, including the .prf file?

Configuration script examples are in my latest book (see signature), including a couple for modifying PRF files. There are also some WMI scripts at http://www.outlookcode.com .

If I deploy now I have to also deploy a script along with the prf....and
since you can't determine the download location (I'm deploying via download)
you never know exactly where the prf location is going to be for the
\importPRF switch. See my problem?
PS--I recently purchased your book Microsoft Outlook Programming (and your
website has been extremely helpful). Why didnt you include prf techniques in
your book?....or did I miss them in the index?

Thank you,
Robert

And that file would be a .prf file, which should still be usable with the /importprf switch and the other methods documented in the excellent white paper "Configuring Outlook Profiles by Using a PRF File" at http://office.microsoft.com/search/r...60 I&respos=3

I think the docs available at http://www.microsoft.com/office/prev...ta/deploy.mspx will also go into how to deploy updates with the new Office Customization Tool.

Now that 2007 no longer allows for direct execution (clicking on prf for
installation) of .prf files for setting up new profiles...I'm thinking the
easiest way for a programmer and user to automatically setup new profiles for
'07 is to just have the user download a file to change the registry settings.
I hate to mess with the registry at all but now I dont have an simple tool
for my users to use for automated email configuration. Suggestions??
