The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS
========
Newprof.exe fails to create a profile if the command line path to the profile
descriptor file (.PRF) contains a space.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem:
1. Find the 16-bit directory name for the directory with a space in its name. To
find the 16-bit name, view the directory in File Manager.
2. Substitute the 16-bit directory name for the entry with a space after the -P
switch.
For example, instead of using the command line
C:\EXCHANGE\NEWPROF.EXE -P c:\test newprof\default.prf
use:
C:\EXCHANGE\NEWPROF.EXE -P c:\testne~1\default.prf
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange version 4.0.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The workaround described above is usually not a viable option if you are using
the variable %USERNAME% in a Windows NT login script to signify the directory
where the profile descriptor file is located and the path to the user's home
directory contains a space.
