Add Outlook Address Book using prf/mst files
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

Add Outlook Address Book using prf/mst files
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. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Morten" wrote in message ...

Add Outlook Address Book using prf/mst files
Sorry for the short question.
I am investigating why the outlook address book service does not get added to my exchange profile when I use a .prf file. So I came across this thread and wondered if there was another way(other than making two .prf files) to address this problem. I noticed this when I ran my .prf file for the first time from a client, it did not add the outlook address book service, but if I ran the .prf file a second time it did add the outlook address book to my profile.

Add Outlook Address Book using prf/mst files
It just doesn't, at least some of the time. We don't know why.
