Howdy - we are in the process of moving all of our workstations onto a
WS2k3 controlled domain. Most of our users have Outlook 2003 as the mail client, and I'm trying to find a way to move all their settings across onto the new profile of their machines (we use an IMAP server, not an exchange server btw) At the moment we are using a script to copy most of their old settings (desktop, quick launch, my docs etc) from their local profile into the new profile location on the server - however we're not getting the outlook settings. Whilst all the settings can be recreated reasonably easily, having to export/import message rules, reenter server settings will become very time consuming once having to do it on many many machines - how can we automated this process? I'd also like to keep (if possible) everyone email address auto- completes and address books. Any suggestions? |

Where on earth do they live? |

Account settings are in the Windows registry. If you use the Office Save My Settings Wizard (or the Office Profile Wizard from the ORK, which is the same tool), you can migrate account settings along with other Outlook settings from the registry.
