Hello,

I'm trying to automate the creation of a profile if none exists...
In previous versions we could use chkexchg, newprof and profgen.

In outlook 2002 and 2003 we can use /importprf

but I've got a problem with...
I'd like to run it only if no profiles exist
when I run it by double clicking on a bat file the cmd window stay open
until I close it or I close Windows

thanks for your help

Set registry keys to trigger Outlook to import the PRF file when Outlook starts. First, set the value ImportPRF to the location of the PRF file. For example:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup\ImportPRF=\\server1\share\Outlook.prf

Then, reset the Outlook FirstRun key to alert Outlook to process the PRF file. To do this, delete the FirstRun registry value HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup\FirstRun, or set its data to 0. Do the same with First-Run if present.

I would approach this by writing a procedure that the login script can invoke that looks to see whether the Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles key is not present or is empty. If that's the case, then it could add the ImportPRF registry value and point to your PRF file. That will set things up so that Outlook will create the profile the next time it runs.

I found WMI to be a good tool for working with the Profiles key. See http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=821 for one example (that does quite a bit more than your script might do).

Thanks for your answer but I've still got one problem :
I found those registry settings in the ORK documentation but what I would
like to do is :
When user Logon, in the logon script check if there is an existing profile.
If yes I do nothing
If no I create the profile may be by modifying the registry settings you
mentionned
I don't want outlook to be run at this time.

But how can I check if a profile already exist or not?

Thks for your help
