Default Remove Services using PRF in Outlook 2002

PRF files can't do that. Perhaps you should consider creating a new mail profile with only the desired services. Or, look into the other mail profile management tools that may be able to do more than PRF files can; see http://www.slipstick.com/exs/olroam.htm#tools

Hi All,

I have an environment running Outlook 2002 (XP) with POP3 to a Unix Server
and LDAP lookup to AD. PST files are stored in users home drives.

We are migrating to Exchange 2003 and I'd like to automatically reconfigure
Outlook Profiles.
I have created a new PRF file to 'merge' the new settings with existing
profiles in order to maintain Archive Files, etc.

My question is: How can I use PRF files to remove PST files, POP3 accounts,
and LDAP service. The relevant section looks like this:

[Service Removal]
MSPST MS=
EMABLT=

The problem is that Outlook hangs on starting when using the PRF file with
these settings. If I comment out the service removal info, Outlook starts
fine.

I am yet to discover anyway of removing the POP3 accounts programmatically.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
