Could you post the first 5 sections of the .prf file?

To be exact, after creating a PRF file with the settings that I want, this
is what happens. The PRF was created/exported from the Custom Maintenance
wizard

I have an existing Exchange outlook profile(Called Outlook) with a alternate
username, i.e username6.

I double click on the PRF file that has been configured with a username that
is different, i.e gjones. and/or %username%

When I double click on the PRF file, the existing profile gets changed to
"Backup of Outlook"

The new "outlook" profile comes up with the server name mentioned in the PRF
file, but everything else is blank(username, RPC over HTTP settings,
etc)


These same settings, if I set up the PRF to create a new Profile runs just
fine.

In essence, that is my problem. I simply want to take the current profile,
and change the username, servername, and other exchange RPC over HTTP
settings, but it seems to not want to do that.

Now if i set the OverWriteProfile to yes, then it will create a new profile,
but if i set it to Append, i get the experience above?

Signed..

Frustrated :)
