Script to create PRF then Edit it.

Hello all,
Our company is move to a new email domain name, and we need to create new email accounts within an existing email profile.  I have created a vbscript to edit a dummy PRF file and have the user info be populated by the user.  Below is my vbscript.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Const ForReading = 1
Const ForWriting = 2


'Get the users name
sName = InputBox("What is your first and last name?")
sPOP = InputBox("Please enter the beginging of your email address, not @domain.com")
'Display the user's name
'MsgBox "Your first and last name is " &  sName
Wscript.Echo "Your first and last name is " &  sName
Wscript.Echo "Your email is " &  sPOP & "@domain.com"

Function Domain()
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Scripts\outlook\testprf.PRF", ForReading)

strText = objFile.ReadAll
objFile.Close
strNewText = Replace(strText, "@domain.com", "@Newdomain.com")

Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Scripts\outlook\testprf.PRF", ForWriting)
objFile.WriteLine strNewText
objFile.Close
End Function
Domain()

Function Name()
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Scripts\outlook\testprf.PRF", ForReading)

strText = objFile.ReadAll
objFile.Close
strNewText = Replace(strText, "ReplaceDisplayName", sName)

Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Scripts\outlook\testprf.PRF", ForWriting)
objFile.WriteLine strNewText
objFile.Close

End Function
Name()

Function POP3Name()
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Scripts\outlook\testprf.PRF", ForReading)

strText = objFile.ReadAll
objFile.Close
strNewText = Replace(strText, "POP3Name", sPOP)

Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Scripts\outlook\testprf.PRF", ForWriting)
objFile.WriteLine strNewText
objFile.Close

End Function
POP3Name()


Function Folder()
 Dim filesys, newfolder
 Dim objWSH
 Dim objUserVariables
 Dim objSystemVariables
 
 Set objWSH =  CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'This actually returns all the User Variables, and you either loop through all, or simply print what you want
WScript.Echo "UserProfile=" & objWsh.Environment("PROCESS")("UserProfile")
 strUP = objWsh.Environment("PROCESS")("UserProfile") & "\My Documents\pst"
 WScript.Echo "PST location" & strUP
set filesys=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If  Not filesys.FolderExists (strUP) Then
   WScript.StdOut.Write( vbCrlf )
   
   newfolder = filesys.CreateFolder (strUP)
   WScript.StdOut.Write "A new folder '" & newfolder & "' has been created"
End If

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Scripts\outlook\testprf.PRF", ForReading)

strText = objFile.ReadAll
objFile.Close
strNewText = Replace(strText, "ReplacePath", strUP)

Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Scripts\outlook\testprf.PRF", ForWriting)
objFile.WriteLine strNewText
objFile.Close

End Function
Folder()
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and here is the section of the PRF I am changing

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Account1]
UniqueService=No
AccountName=Account1
POP3Server=server
SMTPServer=server
POP3UserName=POP3Name
EmailAddress=POP3Name@domain.com
POP3UseSPA=0
DisplayName=ReplaceDisplayName
ReplyEMailAddress=
SMTPUseAuth=1
SMTPAuthMethod=0
ConnectionType=0
LeaveOnServer=0x0
ConnectionOID=MyConnection
POP3Port=110
POP3UseSSL=0
ServerTimeOut=60
SMTPPort=25
SMTPUseSSL=0
Name=My Personal Folder
PathToPersonalFolders=ReplacePath\findme.pst
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to completely automate this process, without the need for any user input.  Is there a way to script the creation of a PRF file containing the users info and then use my vbscript to edit it.

Thank you.
