Hello Sue
Any news on this case?
Do I have to run two prf files?

Regards
Kjetil

What specifically doesn't work? Post the first five sections of your PRF file, please.

Do you have an example of what such a file would look like? I've tried to
create a .prf file which only contains the OAB but I can't get it to work.

Best regards

Morten

Under some circumstances, the Outlook Address
Book service will not get added to a new mail profile, even though the ..mst
file includes a .prf file that should add it. The solution is to use the CIW
to create another .prf file and just export it from the CIW; don't include
it in the .mst file. In this one, you'll want to set it to modify the
existing profile, not create an Exchange account, and add the Outlook
Address Book. You can deploy that .prf file as an additional file with the
CIW installation, post in on your intranet, etc. and tell users to run it if
they have problems getting their Contacts to show up in the Outlook Address
Book.

Hi!

I'm using prf files and mst files to automatically configure Outlook
profiles for external and internal users who connect to our Exchange
server.
I've tried to create prf and mst files which will add an Outlook Address
Book to my profiles but for some reason I'm unsuccessful. Has anyone
managed
to set this up using the Custom Installation Wizard? Any hints would be
much
appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Morten
