Outlook 2007

[Guest]

After doing a lot of testing I need to reinstall Outlook 2007. But, after an
uninstall and reinstall, it maintains all of the previous settings. Does
anybody know of a way to do a 100% complete uninstall so the client will do a
new autodiscovery and lose all prior profiles and settings?

You're seeing the mail profile settings, which are kept in the registry.
Uninstalling and reinstalling are rarely the way to correct an Outlook
problem. What's the issue?

(In Outlook, see Help>command line)

We are doing a lot of testing with the outlook client in preperation for our
production rollout of Exchange 2007. We are testing different Outlook SMS
packages to determine which version to send out to our users. At this point
the only way to ensure a fresh clean install is to apply the package on a
brand new image. So what I'm trying to find out is if I need to wipe and
reimage a PC each time I do a test or does anybody know of a surefire way to
remove the Outlook client completely including profiles. Thanks Brian

Using the /cleanprofile and /firstrun switches should com very close to
starting Outlook as though it were a new install. The /regserver switch may
contribute as well.
