So, that confirms that the .prf file itself apparently is correct. I =
would conclude that it's not being applied when Outlook starts. =
Therefore, the next thing I'd do is use the MST Viewer to confirm that =
the .mst file contains the .prf file to deploy and also sets the =
ImportPRF registry value.

Also, are you trying to create a completely new profile or modify an =
existing profile? =20

This surprises me that this not already there. Outlook =
Profiler adds this by

Use Outlook Profiler..
