Group policy help

The problem is with outlook settings, basically we used to have an exchange server called exchg01 and now its called exchg02, this is fine however one of our group policies is still pointing to the exchg01 server and i can't find which one it is!

I have downloaded and installed the ORK but i still can't seem to find out which policy is causing this headache, does anyone have any ideas?

Also is there a tool out which is similar to gpresult but goes in to more detail on which policy is affecting which setting?

Ok... that didnt go down well.

How about this, is there a registry setting that holds the default exchange address because all the problems are when users connect to our terminal servers so its either a setting on a the server itself or a policy which is only enforced on the terminal services OU.

Right... so office was pushed out originally to the terminal servers via a software policy along with a 'transform' file which gives settings for default profiles etc.

This policy should be in the GPM for my domain shouldn't it? ..because i can't see a policy to install office.

Would this problem occur if office was just installed on the machine with a normal cd?

Hah... i see now.

So i guess a better practice would be to apply the transform file through group policy? that way we can just edit the policy as and when?
