Question about PRF and Security Warning

I was searching for information about an issue I am having when I came across
this un answered post on a message board. Since it describes what my issue
is 100%, I decided to just copy and past it...

--- Start of Copy/Paste

I have created a PRF file with the Outlook 2003 resource kit CIW. I then
have the login script start the PRF file on login which launches Outlook and
configures it. Outlook launches and configures itself but when it launches
the PRF file it prompts the
user for the following yes or no question every time:
"Outlook is about to import information into your email accounts. This can
potentially modify or replace your existing E-Mail Account Settings. Would
you like to import the account settings? (Outlook will be opened after you
click Yes or No.)"

Is there anyway to eliminate this message from coming up.

Thanks in advance for any information!

I really do enjoy these new security features from Office, but they really
need to allow us Administrators 'Easy' Access to disable it. Perhaps through
Active Directory or Domain Policies...

And they are for some versions already. Deploy Office with an mst-file
(which also includes profile settings) through Software Deployment in AD,
SMS, LIS or a third party deployment tool.

You didn't say anything how you are invoking the PRF file. If you want a =
silent import, either start Outlook with the /importprf switch or use =
the ImportPRF registry value. Both are discussed in the ORK.=20
