A client can create a profile in one of three ways:
Invoke the Profile Wizard, an application that creates a profile by allowing the user to choose message services and service providers interactively. For more information, see Creating a Profile with the Profile Wizard.
Invoke the NEWPROF utility, a tool that creates a profile by using the values contained in a template file. For more information, see Creating a Profile with NEWPROF.
Write C or C++ code, often the best choice for noninteractive client applications which require a specific set of message services. For more information, see Creating a Profile with Custom Code.
