Chandru is this a Vbs file and should i change anything  in the script..

You need to have a prf file in the shared location and then save the code as a vbs script

Chandru i just went through the microsoft site regarding Prf. Can you help creating one and do you have any already made...

I think there is an example one which you can download and modify. Let me have a look and see what are the parameters required.

Ok Chandru

Did you try this?

I checked but no improvement.Can you help...

Can you let me know what you tried?

Chandru i followed this page.

What i dont understand is
What can this help...
Create a file then?
All my settings will be stored how can i user this to setup a different profile.

Chandru i used this
Custom Installation Wizard
And created the Mst file now how do i run it...
New Custom Setup File.MST

Hi Got it.

I created a Mst file and when i use this

\\machinename\foldername\setup.exe TRANSFORMS="\\indiasophos\c$\New Custom Setup File.MST" /qb-

I am able to get the profile autoconfigured.
When i login to the machine i get outlook configured but how do i run just the mst file as Office is already installed in these machines and i just need to configure them.
What does the ablove script do?

How can i use a UNC path

\\Machinename\foldename\setup.exe TRANSFORMS="Machinename\foldenam"\New Custom Setup File.MST" /qb-


I get an error.Cannot find the path.

Can we use a UNC path to fetch the MST file

I would prefer the above method as we do in our office, if not please try the link below
