The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, versions 4.0, 5.0 
- Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0 
- Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
