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
