XCLN: Newprof.Exe Requires a Value for HomeServer

ID: Q164346

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, versions 4.0, 5.0
Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0
Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When Newprof.exe is run with the -S parameter, the following error message appears in the Newprof.exe window:

Unable to configure message service [Microsoft Exchange Server].
Deleting service [Microsoft Exchange Server].

CAUSE

The Default.prf file is missing a "homeserver" entry.

RESOLUTION

Add HomeServer=exchange_server_name to the ServiceX section of the default.prf file (where "X" is the number of the Microsoft Exchange Server section and exchange_server_name is the user's home Server).

Example:

If the following section exists in the Default.prf file


   [Service List]
   Service1 = Microsoft Exchange Client
   Service2 = Microsoft Exchange Server
   Service3 = Personal Address Book

add Homeserver= to the Service 2 section so it appears as follows:


   [Service2]
   ConversionProhibited=TRUE
   HomeServer=exchangesvr
