SYMPTOMS
When you install the Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client in quiet mode with the command

setup /q1

and create a default profile called Default.prf, some properties such as HomeServer and MailboxName are not put into the profile correctly; they are just ignored quietly.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do one of the following:


 * Do not use quiet mode (setup /q1).

-or-
 * Copy the default.prf file to end user's local windir, and run Newprof.exe.
