The File Mapisvc Information

What i beleive you may need is the Office Resource Kit & it's toolbox. You don't indicate which version of Office but there is a Resource Kit for each version.

Specific to Outlook 2003, you might find this information helpful. Customizing Outlook Profiles by Using PRF Files Particularly this section: Applying Outlook user profiles by using a PRF file You can apply a PRF file in several ways to update Outlook 2003 profiles: Import the PRF file in the Custom Installation Wizard or Custom Maintenance Wizard to specify profile settings in a transform, and then include the transform when you deploy or update Outlook. Specify the PRF file as a command-line option for Outlook.exe to import a PRF file without prompting the user. For example: outlook.exe /importprf server1 share outlook.pr f Specify the PRF file as a command-line option for Outlook.exe but prompt the user before importing the PRF file. For example: outlook.exe /promptimportprf localfolder outlook.prf If you put the specified PRF file on a network share, the settings might not be applied if the file is not found or is not available when Outlook runs. Launch the PRF file directly on users' computers by having users double-click the file. Configure the registry to trigger Outlook to import the PRF file when Outlook starts up.

You can use the Add/Remove Registry Entries page in Custom Installation Wizard or the Custom Maintenance Wizard to deploy these registry key options to your users. You can also use the wizards to distribute the PRF file to users by using the Add/Remove Files page. Delete the following registry key values: HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Office 11.0 Outlook Setup Fir st-Run HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Office 11.0 Outlook Setup Fir stRun In the HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Office 11.0 Outlook Setup subkey, set the value of ImportPRF to a string value that specifies the name and path of the PRF file.

I honestly can't tell you how many mapi issues i've dealt with when i worked for support and now as a customer, but the thing is, when you've only got Outlook installed and no exchange, there is very little value in nuking the mapisvc.inf What i can say is that typically there would be just a plethora of mapi troubleshooting done Delete the mapi profiles, use Closest GC, delete the mapisvc.inf, run fixmapi and reboot Thats a whole lot of changes where any one of those things could have helped. In most cases a reboot may have just fixed the issues by the fact it resets any mapi leaks that have occured, it could be that fixmapi may have worked because somehow the wrong mapi32.dll or mapistub.dll was being used.

It could have been the closest GC because EV was contacting a DC server instead of a GC server or using another domains GC etc The troubleshooting on that kind of a scale was nonsense, but it usually got the issues resolved, the case closed, the customer happy and off of the phone, but it doesn't really help you understand what the issues actually were. As mentioned before, with Outlook 2007, the Mapisvc.inf's contents resides in the Registry, if you install a server from scratch and put outlook 2007 on there on its own and never use 2003, you will never see the MAPISVC.inf exist, and i've never heard anyone say 'Replace the registry entries with the bigger registry entries' or nuke the registry entries etc Mosts tasks failing can usually be resolved Closest GC or DS Server registry entries. If you're using multiple domains you may want to use the ExchServerGCOverride.
