SYMPTOMS
An administrator uses Microsoft Exchange Setup Editor to select the following information services:

Microsoft Exchange Server

Personal Address Book

Personal Folders

Microsoft Mail

However, after users install Microsoft Exchange clients by running Setup.exe at the client installation point, the automatically generated default Microsoft Exchange profile has only the following information services:

Microsoft Exchange Server

Personal Address Book



CAUSE
The [Service List] section in the Default.prf file generated by the Setup Editor contains only the following services:

  Service1=Microsoft Exchange Client Service2=Microsoft Exchange Server Service3=Personal Address Book



WORKAROUND
Before users install the Microsoft Exchange clients, the Default.prf at the client installation point has to be manually modified using a text editor. The following is a sample of the modified Default.prf file. (Section 4 is omitted here for simplicity.)

; Sample PRF file
 * Copyright (C), Microsoft Corporation, 1996.
 * The following PRF file is included as an example of how to create a PRF
 * file for creating a profile. Sections 1, 2, and 3 can be modified. DO
 * NOT MODIFY SECTION 4. It will most likely cause Microsoft Exchange
 * services to stop responding. Be very careful when editing to ensure
 * property values match their property types.
 * Section 1 - Profile defaults
 * property values match their property types.
 * Section 1 - Profile defaults
 * Section 1 - Profile defaults
