If you use the "move mailbox" procedure there is nothing extra that you have
to configure on the client level. Upon first starting Outlook after the move
Outlook will connect the old server and the old server will "tell" Outlook
that the mailbox has been moved and redirects to the new server. Your
Outlook settings will be automatically updated then.

Here is what I am trying to accomplish. In my environment, I have Outlook
2003 configured to connect via RPC over http to a set of Settings.
I am changing the entire back end. Without having to manually go to each
machine to change the settings, what are some of the ways I may be able to
accomplish this task
i.e Visual Studio (Visual Basic) Script to create/change profiles
i.e Registry changes for settings inside Outlook profile
Where are the profile settings kept.
Again, as an example of what I am trying to do, the current environment is
similar to the following
Profile: EXCHANGE
Server name: exchange.mail.com
Username: xxx
Exchange URL(http) settings
Testmail.domain1.com
SSL connection
Msstd:testmail.domain1.com
On Fast/Slow networks connect with http first, then tcp/ip
Basic Authentication
What I want to do is run a script, or something, that will take the
profile
called Exchange and change the following settings:
Server name: Diffexchange.mail.edu
Username: xxx
Exchange URL(http) settings
Newmail.newdomain2.edu
SSL connection:
Msstd:newmail.newdomain2.edu
Etc ,etc
Any ideas on the best way to do that.
My second alternative is to just create a brand new profile with the new
settings.
Any help would be appreciated.
On the back end, the new mailboxes will already be populated. We are
migrating the mailboxes onto the new server and new domain
