Removing Outlook Auto-completes across an organisation

[drumdogg]

Hi Guys,

I have a migration of some user to new servers etc and having an issue where users are sending emails with the auto-complete address which is sending the emails locally to where the old mailbox was and not to the new mailbox on new servers.

I want to keep the mailboxes on the old exchange for a period of time until i know everything has migrated successfully.

I see you can use a program N2KEdit to remove entries from outlook auto complete but would need to do this for every user. Is this the right way to go or is there another way i can stop mail being delivered locally to the old mailbox??

Thanks in Advance

You could just delete the n2k file from every user account

Yea had though of this but some user wont like that as they rely on it to remember external email address. Ideally i would like to remove all auto complete address with a certain domain.

But deleting the file may be the best and quickest option.

Thanks

Tell your users to use their address book as intended and stop being lazy!

Is there a way of deleting these remotely with a script? Dont fancy manually deleting 500 of these.
