Problems creating a new profile using PST folders

R

Raj

Hi all,

We are trying to configure outlook and setup a profile using a predefined
prf file (Office 2003 on windows 2003 system). We want the new profile to use
pst file and also to not have an email account defined i.e. it will be setup
without email support.

When we run the outlook with /importprf "<profile path>" flag, it is
correctly creating the profile but not completing the setup process. We are
facing the following problems:

1. After we run the outlook with prf flag the startup wizard remains on the
screen and is not closed automatically. Is there way to stop this from
displaying?

2. Even though the profile is created, it does not complete the setup and
when user starts outlook for the first time, he is prompted to setup an email
account. Is there a way to avoid this? We would like the new profile to be
default.

I also enclosing prf file we are using below for ready reference. Any
help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Raj
