Default Outlook profile and custom maintanance wizard

Hi,

Here is a little issue I am experiencing and hoping you can send me into the
right direction.....


We have citrix servers that publish outlook to my users. It was configured
with office maintenance wizard to point to exchange server x, and add outlook
address book and personal folders.

Now exchange server x is going offline and exchange server y takes it place.
I moved all users, the email profile changes to point to the new server.

The problem starts when a new user logs on and profile points to the old
exchange server, since the server is not online, user is not able to connect.

So here are the questions:
When using custom maintenance wizard to modify outlook profile, do I leave
everything default, and just modify server name???

Or

Do I have to set the same settings that I used during the original
installation (In particular I am worried about OAB, and pst settings)

Thanks

VADIM

Use the CMW to distribute a new .prf file containing the new server's settings. The only thing you should have to change is the server name.
