It's been years since I've posted here!!

Right. I've been trying to get kdyers UDF to automatically create an Outlook profile.

The creation of the profile appears to work but when i open Outlook it it only connects to my Personal folders and there is no exchange server in the profile.

I am calling the UDF by adding OUTLOOK() at the end of the script.

I am using Outlook 2003 SP3 but our clients are a mix of XP and 2003 varying SP levels. Ideally I'd like to use the script the just repoint the existing profile to another exchange server once the mailbox has been migrated - this isn't working automatically as the mailboxes are in a different site and i'm moving from Exchnage 5.5 to Exchange 2003.

So, has anybody got any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Although I've been using KiX for a number of years I'm not that familiar with UDFs.

Many Thanks

Julian

I have done some more analysis of the problem. The script runs fine as I thought and the profile is created but not with any settings for Microsoft Exchange server.

I downloaded the Outlook.prf from rhe location specified and have put it in the correct location on the logonserver. This is then getting copied back to the clients %TMP% location, the registry entries are getting created and the Outlook config starts - Outlook doesn't fully open but I assume this is what it's supposed to do.

So i'm thinking it must be something in the PRF file that is going wrong.

I've spent a good few hours now trying to debug the problem but i'm getting nowhere.

If anybody has any ideas I would love to hear them.

Many Thanks

Julian
