Profile

[Guest]

Hi

Where I work we have just changed to Outlook (2003) and Exchange Server. We
do a lot of hotdesking and at present the IT team have not been able to setup
a roving profile for Outlook.

By this i mean that if I log into another PC although I can log into my
account it does not remember all my settings (reading pane etc). As a temp
measure until they sort it out is there a way to save my settings and then
just reload on the new PC (I can save a file to a network location on any PC)?

Not sure if this made sense but if it did any help greatly appreciated

Kind regards

Rexmann

To have a roving Outlook profile, you need a roving Windows profile. It's not clear from your message whether that's already in place.

You don't have to do anything specific to Outlook for this. Roaming profiles
is being controlled by Windows in combination with Active Directory user
objects. On the user object you can set a profilepath to save/retrieve
settings to/from.

Hi

I think I didn't explain my situation that clearly. Normally for most
applications if I log into another PC from normal my settings are remembered
(such as the layout of the page - where the toolbars are etc). However since
outlook is new in my organisation this is not working at the moment so
everytime I log in on a new PC or even the same PC it reverts to the default
settings. The IT team are working on this.

However is it possible (as a temp measure) to save my settings myself?

Any help greatly appreciated

Kind regards

View settings are associated with each folder where the data is stored. If you're looking at the same information store (Exchange mailbox or PST file), you should see the same views.
