I will clarify a little bit. When I use %username% the profile
creation uses the locally logged in username. I'd like this variable
to use the username that is used to login to the mailbox during profile
creation on a hosted exchange environment, not the local computer's
currently logged in user.

Thanks

I am trying to setup a prf file that end users can use to easily setup
a new profile in a hosted exchange environment. The only problem is
that I can't tell the prf file what the mailboxname= value should be
and I can't use the environment variable of %username% because this
isn't what the value should be.

My way around it right now is to set the Mailboxname=TYPE YOUR EMAIL
ADDRESS HERE. Then when people first open Outlook after running the
prf file Outlook complains that it can't resolve the mailbox name of
"TYPE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS HERE" and then the end user is required to
delete this and type in his/her email address. Once that's done then
the rest of the profile setup goes fine.

I'm just wondering if there's a more elegant solution to this. Is
there someway I can tell the prf file to use the login name that the
user puts in the first time they open Outlook? This would work beacuse
they use their e-mail address as their login name and that works also
for the mailboxname value as well.

Any help would be great. Thanks!
