I just got done fighting through this. It can be frustrating.
I edited the outlook.prf that came in modprof.zip from thethin and named it
default.prf and dropped it in the homedrive\windows folder. For my network
that is H:\Windows. I then dropped modprof.exe in c:\winnnt. I made a
shortcut to modprof.exe and placed it in the profile\startmenu\startup folder.
That works for me.
I tried putting default.prf in the c:\winnt folder and making the modprof
shortcut be "c:\winnt\modprof.exe -p c:\winnt\default.prf" but it always left
out the Outlook Address Book. As soon as I made the shortcut only point to
modprof.exe with no arguments and put the default.prf in their h:\windows
drive, it started working.
Hope this helps
Greg

Any help with using modprof would be greatly appreciated. I'm geeling kind of
stupid right now. I've read through the archives and I'm still not grasping
what to do.
First off, this is a fresh install of office on 2000 terminal services. Is
there anything that I need to configure with CIW? What exactly?
I've read a lot in the archives about need users to have home directories. We
don't use home directories, is there a way around this need?
Where do the modprof and outlook.prf files need to be located?
The only thing I have been successful with is logging on as an admin and
running modprof -p -s outlook.prf from a cmd prompt and browsing to the
outlook.prf file, then I had to push the execute button twice. Just running
modperf -p outlook.prf doesn't do anything from the command line.

download modprof.zip from http://www.thethin.net
That will allow you to set a preference file for outlook that will generate the
correct mail profile when a user logs in.

Subject: [THIN] Outlook 2000 & profiles
With my limited knowledge with Terminal Services 2000 I am attempting to setup
a terminal services application environment that allows access for a group of
people to the Microsoft Office Suite. What I wish to do is to create a
mandatory profile called office.man and assign that as each user's Terminal
Server Profile who needs access to the suite through Terminal Services. A
problem evolves when I enter Microsoft Outlook into the mix. Since the profile
is shared, when the next user tries to access Outlook they are actually trying
to open the last persons mailbox. Through this mandatory profile I am also
wanting the same desktop look. Is there any clean way around this that allows
for the ease of administration. I have been successful when not assigning a
profile at all but that requires me to manually configure each desktop and
outlook setting per user.
Thank you,
Casey Friese
