citrix4Outlook Profile Creation
| Damon Leeth | I’m only aware of the switch you can specify to include a PRF file when opening the outlook.exe file. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296192/en-us
If you do not have this option you could try http://www.outlookprofile.com but may be over kill if this is a one off! |
| Mike Engel | You really don’t need to launch a seperate script with Outlook 2003. Just create your prf file using the Custom Installation Wizard and put it on a network share. Then modify your Outlook published application command line as follows:
c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\outlook.exe /importprf Depending on the options you selected with the Custom Installation Wizard Outlook will first look to see if a profile exists and create one if necessary. It is true that Outlook will launch everytime with the /importprf switch but it only takes a second. This way if you change Exchange profile settings in the future you only need to change the prf file and it will apply to Outlook users the next time they run it. |
| Larry Daye | Your process works for creating Outlook profiles for Outlook. But lets say you want to mail a .pdf from Adobe 7 or a .xls from Excel and there is no mail profile created for that user on that server they are running on. Your solution will launch Outlook when all you need is a Mail profile created on the server behind the sceens. The //importprf does not have a silent switch, this is were the script is useful… |
| Jeff Riechers | This is an easy fix. I do this on all my citrix and office installs.
1%26gt; Download the Office Resource Kit. First time users launch outlook they are configured. Works great for Exchange. If you want to setup pop, this will also get you 90 percent of the way configured, and then the user will be prompted for the rest of the info. |
| John Li | Larry, it would be great if you can give more comment in your script. Especially for a newbie like me.  Can contact you on details of it? |
