PRF file creates backup of profile
BackupProfile does not exist in the .prf that I generated.
This is the General section: ---------- ;Automatically generated PRF file from the Microsoft Office Customization and Installation Wizard ; ************************************************** ************ ; Section 1 - Profile Defaults ; ************************************************** ************ [General] Custom=1 DefaultProfile=Yes OverwriteProfile=Append ModifyDefaultProfileIfPresent=TRUE ---------- "Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Modify the [General] section of the PRF file to add/modify the BackupProfile parameter: BackupProfile= No FYI, this is a tip from my forthcoming book, "Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003," ISBN 1555583261. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Louis" wrote in message ... i try to modify the default profile to the new exchange server. Each time i run the prf file, it creates a backup of the old profile. The user is loosing the signature. Is there a way to just modify the name of the exchange server and leave the other settings intact?

That's why you have to modify the .prf file.

PRF file creates backup of profile
When I run .prf file, it pops up a notification window to click Yes to
continue and No to not continue. I'm using a script to run the .prf. How can I set the .prf to allow Yes to be "clicked."

PRF file creates backup of profile
You didn't say how your script is running the .prf file. One way to avoid a prompt is to start Outlook with the /importprf "profile path" switch.
