personal folders keep disappearing
Hi,
This is the setup. When we create a personal folder and point the location of the pst file to the users my documents, which is really a redirected network location everything is great until the pc is rebooted. After a reboot their are no personal folders showing and users have to add a new personal folder and browse to their my documents to locate the pst file. The outlook profile was automatically created by running a script that pointed to an edited .prf file. Here is an extract from the prf file that may be the problem: [Service1] OverwriteExistingService=No UniqueService=Yes MailboxName=%UserName% HomeServer=wns06.holtswell.local OfflineAddressBookPath=%USERPROFILE%\local settings\application data\microsoft\outlook\ OfflineFolderPath=%USERPROFILE%\local settings\application data\microsoft\outlook\outlook.ost AccountName=Microsoft Exchange Server. |
personal folders keep disappearing
Here is the script that is supposed to import a prf file called default.prf.
Dim WSHShell, n, MyBox, p, t, mustboot, errnum, vers Dim enab, disab, jobfunc, itemtype Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") padd = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup \ImportPRF" pval = "\\wns02.holtswell.local\users\default.PRF" pdel = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup \First-Run" itemtype = "REG_SZ" Err.Clear On Error Resume Next n = WSHShell.RegRead (p) if Err.Number0 then WSHShell.RegWrite padd, pval, itemtype WSHShell.Regdelete pdel end if Now thinking about it what maybe happening is when a new user logs on and the script is run this sets up the exchange server and mail box fine and when the user goes to add a personal folder it also works OK until the next time the user logs on and the default.prf is being reapplied hence the disappearing folders. If this is what is happening does anyone know how to import a .prf file only once? "Paul" wrote: Hi, This is the setup.
