Hello, We need to run an audit against all workstations giving us their
Outlook Profile Connection Settings. We need to find out what systems are
settup to connect using RPC/HTTP as well as Cached Mode.


Thanks!

All that information is in the user's Windows registry, so you'd need a tool that allows you to harvest that information from each machine. That's a bit outside my area of expertise.

I have the means of pulling this information out of the registry or any
database/text file for that matter. The question is where is this data stored
within the registry?

Keep in mind I am trying to audit each Outlook profile's Connection
Settings. I am looking for whether or not RPC over HTTP is configured and
whether or not Cached Mode is enabled.

I have looked all over the registry and could not find anything. The only
other way I could imagine is to query the files within
%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. The problem there is all of
those file are encrypted.

Any help would be much appreciated.

P.S - If anyone knows how I could pipe the output from "outlook.exe
/rpcdiag" to a text file would help me out. I could possibly work with that.

Outlook mail profile information is stored in HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion/Windows Messaging Subsystem/Profiles. For each profile, Exchange settings are in the 13dbb0c8aa05101a9bb000aa002fc45a key. The values correspond to different properties. A good way to get a handle on them is to use the Custom Installation Wizard or Custom Maintenance Wizard to create a few .prf files that contain configuration settings, then match up the values in the .prf file with what you see in the registry. The excellent white paper "Configuring Outlook Profiles by Using a PRF File" at http://office.microsoft.com/search/r...60 I&respos=3 explains how the .prf settings match up with the registry values.
