Guys,
I am trying to setup standardised Outlook profiles which are automatically generated. I am using "outlook.exe /importprf profile.prf" as a way of generating the new profile. The problem is that, on subsequent uses of this script, it creates a new profile, backing up the old profile. Is there anyway of suppressing the creation of the backup copy or Deleting the current profile just before the outlook creates a new profile? Thanks |

Check the content of your PRF file. Under the [General] section, this statement will suppress backup creation:

It was one of the topics I researched for the book in my signature, and so I asked Microsoft contacts, read white papers, and played around with the CIW mail profile options.
