I am having some trouble and i want to make sure i am following the right
steps. I step through the CIW and get all of my exchange related settings in
place such as server name, user name, pst and then i export the settings to a
PRF. I manually edit the PRF file to change the PST to Unicode etc... Then
i again go into the CIW and take the Import PRF option. I finish and
generate a new MST. I then run the custom install using the MST. This is
where the problem begins. When a user with an exisitng profile on the
computer logs in all is fine. When someone logs in fresh you are prompted
for user name, exchange server name. All of this is defined in the
PRF....why am i getting this??? Below is a portion of my PRF.

;Automatically generated PRF file from the Microsoft Office Customization
and Installation Wizard
