Copy outlook acct/profile to new domain acct on same PC???

[jrm73]

Does anyone know of a way to copy an email profile from one user
profile to another on the same PC? We are preparing a migration from
WIN NT4 to WIN 2003 AD. So users currently have an NTDomain\profile in
Docs and settings and will soon have an ADDomain\profile. I've
tested using the copyprofile.exe utility which copies, my docs, favs
etc. It even copies the files in the outlook folders in the users
profile but when I try to run Outlook under the AD profile it just
starts the wizard as though no account info exists.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Would exporting the mailbox to a PST be feasible?

Not really. I forgot to mention, we are also migrating from Exchange
5.5 to Exchange 2003. The users store mail in their inbox on the mail
server, not person folders. We have a consulting company helping us
with that migration and they are moving the mail fromn the Exchange 5.5
to 2003 environment. So, the mail will move but when users logong the
new domain, they won't have a profile configured. This is the my
dilemma.

Thanks-

My suggestion is for you to check out newprof.exe and outlook.prf to see if
they meet your needs.
