SYMPTOMS
When Newprof.exe is run with the -S parameter, the following error message appears in the Newprof.exe window:

Unable to configure message service [Microsoft Exchange Server].

Deleting service [Microsoft Exchange Server].



CAUSE
The Default.prf file is missing a "homeserver" entry.



RESOLUTION
Add HomeServer=exchange_server_name to the ServiceX section of the default.prf file (where "X" is the number of the Microsoft Exchange Server section and exchange_server_name is the user's home Server).

Example:

If the following section exists in the Default.prf file [Service List] Service1 = Microsoft Exchange Client Service2 = Microsoft Exchange Server Service3 = Personal Address Book add Homeserver= to the Service 2 section so it appears as follows: [Service2] ConversionProhibited=TRUE HomeServer=exchangesvr
