OAB in automatic profile generation
Hi,
We use the Custom Installation Wizard from the Office 2003 ResKit to automatically create profiles for Outlook. Profile generation works well except for the Outlook Address Book service. I have tried all kinds of settings (even created my own .prf files with the dummy entries under de OAB-service headers and used those) but everytime two profiles are being created and the OAB is always inserted in the wrong one. Example1: We tell CIW to make a new profile called 'TEST' in which it needs to insert the OAB. Result: a profile 'TEST' is made (without OAB) and a profile 'Default Outlook Profile' is made (with the OAB). The 'TEST' profile is set to default. Example2: We tell CIW to modify the existing profile or to create a profile called 'Default Outlook Profile'. Result: a profile 'Default Outlook Profile' is made (without OAB) and a profile 'BACKUP OF Default Outlook Profile' is made (with the OAB). The profile 'Default Outlook Profile' is set to default. Whatever we do, Outlook seems to create a new (non-default)-profile for the OAB. Has anybody got some advice? I've been reading a lot about this and don't give me the third party tool approach. The feature is included in the product so it should work, one way or the other. Thanks in advance! |

don't give me the third party tool approach. The feature is included in the product so it should work, one way or the other. LOL Yeah right, we are talking about MS here! Just for fun, don't be mad at me, could you test Outlook Profiler and see how it performs this test http://goffconcepts.com/products/win...ler/index.html The only thing, it only creates a profile for the "logged on user". In other words if "jenny" is logged on you will see a profile for "jenny". The problem your having is related to the way MS has implemented the Extended MAPI API calls. Most things are possible but they have to be custom programmed using this API set. And it is NOT easy. |
