Command Line Switches

Command line switches can be specified when running the program's executable file 'Outlook Profile 2008.exe'.

Silent

Automatically process the user who is currently logged in (user who is running 'Outlook Profile 2008.exe').

Syntax: /Silent

Configuration File

Alternate location of the 'Configuration File' that is different from the Default Configuration File. See the Configuration File Editor for more detail on 'Configuration Files' and Deployment for complete working examples.

Syntax: /ConfigFile:<filename>

Examples

Network Drive: /ConfigFile:"y:\outlookprofile.xml"

UNC Path: /ConfigFile:"\\server\\share\outlookprofile.xml"

WebServer: /ConfigFile:"http://webserver/outlookprofile.xml"

Suppression

Suppress the majority of error messages displayed when the /Silent switch has been specified. Error messages will still be logged to the 'Event Viewer'. This switch is not recommended because the end user will not receive instant feedback if something goes wrong.

Syntax: /Suppress

Hide Progress

Suppress the progress window displayed when the /Silent switch has been specified.

Syntax: /HideProgress

Edit Options Mode

Start Outlook Profile 2008 without initilizing the application. This allows the 'Tools' menu to be accessed directly that contains the Configuration File Editor and Default Configuration File features.

Syntax: /EditOptionsMode
