New Default Mail profile keeps being created
I have just installed Office 2003 on to a brand new pc. I set up a mail user
for the person logging in - connecting to out Exchange 2003 Server. However, everytime this user logs in to the pc, it ignores the mail profile I have created and sets up a default mail user - however, when it does this, she gets a dialog box appearing which says "Outlook is about to import information into your E-mail Accounts. This can potentially modify or replace your existing E-mail account settigns. Would you like to import the account settings? (Outlook will be opened after you click Yes or No.)" If the user says Yes - it creates a Backup1 copy of the Default profile - and so on every time she logs in until she has several Backup copies. Is there any way I can stop it creating the new default mail profile and just use the profile that I tell it to use? I do delete the other profies but this seems to make no difference. Many thanks.

I am so grateful for your reply. Excuse my ignorance but I'm not sure about the Exchange query - we have Exchange installed on a Server on its own. This user does in fact have a logon script. How can I locate the prf and amend it? I have done a search for a prf file but couldn't fine it. I apologise in advance - but I am new to this game! Regards Angela P.S. Just clicked on the link to your Web Site - this may in fact help me greatly. |

open the users account in the active directory - one of the tabs will tell
you where the log on script is. Open the script in notepad and see what all it loads - the paths should be included. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "Angela" wrote in message news I am so grateful for your reply.
