I have a workstation with several users, each with their own unique
Outlook 2003 profile. I need to uninstall and reinstall the entire
Office 2003 application to fix some problems. Is there any way to
export and import their Outlook profiles? The Office Resource Kit has
a profile manager, but apparently it does not store Outlook
information. I can use the Custom Installation Wizard, but it appears
to be designed for general, repeatable installs. Is there anything I
can do so that I do not have to manually recreate each user's Outlook
profile after reinstallation?

Thanks,
Scott

Click to expand...

Conceivable you could export and import the profile in the registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\profilename

I understand the Office Save My Settings Wizard can also help.
 
Thanks for the suggestion. I was giving it a try on a test system and
noticed that my Outlook settings did not get removed with the Office
uninstallation. I guess I should have considered that a possibility,
since we're talking about Microsoft.

Thanks,
Scott
