XADM: Setup Editor Cannot Create Some Services in Default.prf

• Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 4.0, 5.0

SYMPTOMS

An administrator uses Microsoft Exchange Setup Editor to select the following information services:

Microsoft Exchange Server
Personal Address Book
Personal Folders
Microsoft Mail

Microsoft Exchange Server
Personal Address Book

CAUSE

The [Service List] section in the Default.prf file generated by the Setup Editor contains only the following services:

   Service1=Microsoft Exchange Client
   Service2=Microsoft Exchange Server
   Service3=Personal Address Book 

WORKAROUND

Before users install the Microsoft Exchange clients, the Default.prf at the client installation point has to be manually modified using a text editor. The following is a sample of the modified Default.prf file. (Section 4 is omitted here for simplicity.)

; Sample PRF file

; Copyright (C), Microsoft Corporation, 1996.
;
; The following PRF file is included as an example of how to create a PRF
; file for creating a profile.  Sections 1, 2, and 3 can be modified. DO
; NOT MODIFY SECTION 4. It will most likely cause Microsoft Exchange
; services to stop responding. Be very careful when editing to ensure
; property values match their property types.
