modify homeserver with PRF without losing current OST file

M

Mïll#99

Hi,

I would like to modifiy the "homeserver" of user exchange account in
existing outlook 2003 default profile.

I will retain/re-use the OST file use with the "old" homeserver.

The mailnickname,samaccount... are the same in my 2 exchange systems.

I found some information about this on technet, support & Co. as :

OverwriteProfile=Append
OverwriteExistingService=Yes
HomeServer=myhomeserver

But when I use my PRF with this settings, a new ost file is created !! :-(
probably because I change de homeservername and then the "mapi connector"
informations are delete when the new one is create for the new homeserver
....

I try to force de OfflineFolderPath, but no help about this problem !!

it is my only error !!

Any help will be appreciated !!

Best Regards,

Mïll#99


PS. : keep a time to look my PRF file content :
