Guys,

I am trying to setup standardised Outlook profiles which are automatically
generated.
I am using "outlook.exe /importprf profile.prf" as a way of generating the
new profile.

The problem is that, on subsequent uses of this script, it creates a new
profile, backing up the old profile.

Is there anyway of suppressing the creation of the backup copy or Deleting
the current profile just before the outlook creates a new profile?

Thanks
 
Check the content of your PRF file. Under the [General] section, this statement will suppress backup creation:

BackupProfile=No

Perfect.
Thank you. How did you do the digging for this?

It was one of the topics I researched for the book in my signature, and so I asked Microsoft contacts, read white papers, and played around with the CIW mail profile options.
