How to change the default Exchange Server for new profiles?

We recently migrated to a new Exchange server and, hence, the server
name has changed. All desktops were updated with the new server name.
However, when a user logs on to a machine that they have never used
before, it tries to connect to the old Exchange Server.

I know that the setting is in
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Default Outlook
Profile] but changing that will only affect the currently logged on
user. How can I set it so that any user who logs on to that machine
will, by default, use the new server?

Note, we do not use roaming profiles (no, I don't know why. Many of
the decisions made here are a total mystery to me!)

You could change the corresponding setting in each of the HKEY_USERS\S-1-...
registry keys.

Which would require enumerating those keys on all the machines in the
network....sigh. Is there really not an easier way?
