Change "Default Delivery Location" for 3.000 users

[Guest]

People,

In the past all users (about 3.000) were instructed to change their default
delivery location in outlook to a local PST File because of storage concerns.

Right now we are in process of migrating our Exchange Servers to new hardware.

How can I change the "default delivery location" back to Exchange
automatically via script or other administrative method? I can't do it
manually or ask users to change this setting again.

Tks

Rodrigo

You might have to create a completely new mail profile using the Custom Maintenance Wizard tool in the Office Resource Kit to deliver a .prf file with the new profile information. I was unsuccessful in several attempts to change just the delivery location in a prf file.

For more details on .prf files, including a variety of .prf deployment methods, read the excellent white paper "Configuring Outlook Profiles by Using a PRF File" at http://office.microsoft.com/search/redir.aspx?assetid=HA011403051033&QueryID=pHm7c_60I&respos=3
