Hi,

I am trying to find out which file holds a users/profiles exchange server information (eg server name)

I can find it in the registry under current user, but it is in a really random place. I have also looked around in c:\documents and settings\user\application data\microsoft\outlook and found nothing resembeling this.

I need to find a file which will always be there that can be replaced. The other problem is the users are not al using the same version of outlook

Basically im trying to write a batch script that will go through and change the mail server name, etc or replace the file that contains it.

Any ideas?
 
We currently have roaming profiles and are getting rid of them due to the disk space they use. We have thousands of users and it isn't workable any more. Some things will be backed up to there network drive however.

It will be a local profile from here on, we are doing this as part of a migration project.

Do such files exist with the mail server config?
 
Outlook 2000 upwards i think.

there may be some 97 vsns out there, I'm not sure, that's what this project is all about, to make sure everything is the same.
 
No, well, the migration work has to be done first (Novell :( )

OK, lets say we ignore Outlook 97. Is it possible with Outlook 2000 and the rest?

As i said above, i could find some registry keys, but there location was not static nor was it in any sort of pattern
 
Otacon: Thanks fo the reply. I'm not sure the above will work.

What will happen is we will do a lot of migration work before visitng the users PC (out of hours) where we will login using an account in novell which will install Win2k SP4 and update the Novell clients. Once updated i want to be able to run the *.bat file to move the outlook profile settings from one profile to another.

The problem is after our migration work is complete and the user logs in it creates a new profile with the domain added onto it (Novell don't ask!) so i want to logon, and run a file which will re-import the mail settings from the old profile. Visiting each users PC to export the mail settings would be as quick as adding them in again.

am i waffeling or do u get what im trying to achieve?

Cheers again

EDIT: BTW - my batch file currently coppies the entire c:\documents and settings\user folder into the new user.domain folder.
