Is there a way to use the Custom Maintenance wizard to create a new profile,
but have it be a pssive profile. Right now it seems as tho i can either make
a new profile and have it be the default, and change the registry setting to
prompt for a profile, or Nothing.

I want to push this profile out, but I am not ready for my users to use it,
nor do i want them experimenting with it.
 
Yes, but it will take a little manual editing. Create and export the ..prf file with the CMW as usual, then make sure the [General] section includes these settings

ProfileName=whatever you want it to be
DefaultProfile=No
OverwriteProfile=No
ModifyDefaultProfileIfPresent=False

You can then import the modified .prf file back into CMW if you want to deploy it that way.

Users will be able to experiment with it, however, unless you've blocked user access to Control Panel | Mail and locked down the registry value that controls whether to prompt for a profile:

Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Options\
Value Name: PickLogonProfile
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0 to log on with the default profile, 1 to present the Choose Profile dialog
