Outlook 2003 - SMTP to Exchange 2010 Migration
Our business has about 175 users all using Outlook 2003 and we currently are
using IMail as our mail server. I have just installed Exchange 2010 and would like to miagrate all of my users over to the new server. Currently the only way to add the Exchange account to my end user's Outlook is to have the close out of Outlook and for me to manually setup the account using Mail from the Control Panel. Ofcourse we have to change the default settings to communicate with the Exchange 2010 server using encrypted data for it to work. We currently are not using the GPO (outlk11.adm) because we had previously set all workstations up by manually visiting each one. My question is this: How can I automate the setup of these accounts on my end user's workstations so that when they log into their workstation, the Exchange account will be there for them to use? |

Outlook 2003 - SMTP to Exchange 2010 Migration
This setup would be for users who are already using Outlook and have a
profile setup. I have tried to produce the MST file using both the "Custome Installation Wizard" and the "Custom Maintenance Wizard". I have followed the instructions to run the setup on the workstation: setup.exe TRANSFORMS="\\PATH_TO_MST_FIL\MY_MST_FILE.MST" /qb- and it doesn't seem to install or change anything for the user. Am I missing something? TIA "Roady [MVP]" wrote: Use the Office 2003 Resource Kit to create a prf-file and then deploy this prf-file to your users.

Outlook 2003 - SMTP to Exchange 2010 Migration
Ok, so I found this:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/or...402581033.aspx Using the section from he Applying Outlook user profiles by using a PRF file Now my only question is going to be is how do I set my communication with the exchange server to "encrypted" by modifying my PRF file?

Outlook 2003 - SMTP to Exchange 2010 Migration
Found my answer he
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2006508 Looks to method 4: Update existing Outlook 2003 profiles by using a custom ..prf file Looks like that worked for creating the profile and connecting to the Exchange 2010 server, but now how do I get my user's old PST file into Outlook so that it will show it by default? I know it's still there, but I don't want to touch all of my workstations.
