Automating a New Email Profile

I have been helping a company move to a new cloud based email system.  They needed to update everyone’s mail profile.  In this follow VBScript, it builds a .prf file to be imported in with the correct fields for the user and servers.  Near the top of the script there is a section to be filled out by a person that knows the Exchange environment, Exchange Administrator.

‘ Define our servers and paths 
strProxy = “”
strAutoDiscoverProxy = “”
strProfileName = “”
strHomeServer = “”
strRPCProxyPrincipalName = “”
 

The script will ask the user their primary email address.  For the company I was helping out they had multiple email domains so we needed them to select their primary.  It then will ask them to confirm what they typed.
