June 26, 200719 yr I'm trying to make a profile for Outlook so that every user in my organisation who logs onto any workstation, can pick up their emails using outlook 2003 without havingto set it up everytime. I have managed to figure out how to do a Custom installation etc, and create a prf file. But even though I set the PST location to the folder where the users existing Outlook.pst is located.. but when I start outlook it says that it is unable to open the default folders and asks for the location...But the path is there!!! so why can't it find outlook.pst... I have googled my problem for hours and hours but most solutions seem to related to Exchange profiles... but i want to set up an Internet Mail prf file with a location to the users PST file that they already have.Here is my prf file... im sure i did this correctly.... but obviously i didn't or it would be working..;
