Default Creation of multipleoutlook profile

Hi

I have to create multiple (100+) outlook profile for administrative purpose.
I know that I can use PRF file to generate outlook profile/amend or modify
exisiting profile for individual users. But in this instance, I want to
create lots of outlook profile with a single account logged in.

Is there a tool or process I can use to do this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

AD

You'd need to run 100 PRF files with the right settings or possibly script the process using Redemption's ProfileManager interface or one of the tools listed at http://www.slipstick.com/exs/olroam.htm#tools

Thank you for the response Sue

I managed to create two scripts, one will create the PRF files as per the
Alias Name field and the second will then create outlook profiles.

The next question if someone knows the answer is "Is there a limit on number
of outlook profiles a single user can have?"

If you have the answer. Please let me know

Kind Regards

Abhi

I've never seen a published limit. I've personally had up to 75 profiles on a single machine.
