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

----------

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.

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.

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."

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.
