OK old exchange server was SERVEROLD and new one is SERVERNEW (for
arguments sake).

The pc has lots of different profiles on it and I dont wanna manually
change each profile to reflect the new server.

Running Outlook 2002 is there a way to automatically do this?

I believe I can use a prf file created using Custom Wizards from the
Office Resource Kit and deploy this to do this for me.

Can anyone give any more detailed info on how this can be done?

Thanks

If you leave the old Exchange server up and running after you
replicate/re-home your public folders & move mailboxes, your clients will
'automagically' find the new server the first time they log in.

Isn't that easier?
 
Ok...say if i have 2 computers in the network... will i have to log all
the users into outlook on both pcs? they use local profiles you see.
With multiple profiles on multiple pcs that is why I was hoping to use
something along the prf file. Also the server is actually going to be
removed completely as there is no space in the room.

I would use roaming profiles anyway, and this would then not be an issue (as
well as other things).
