Restoring Outlook Settings

[Guest]

Outlook 2003. We just changed our users over to a new domain. We used the
Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Files and Settings Transfer Wizard
tool to save user profiles and then restore them after the domain change.
Unforuntately, I found that Outlook filters, signatures, and email accounts
were not restored. How can I retrieve these, especially the signatures that
folks had setup in Outlook prior to the domain switch? Thanks for any help.

Use the Office Save My Settings Wizard instead. More info here:

Dear Jocelyn:

Is there anything I can do "after the fact" to retrieve the settings that
existed before the domain switchover? I have the Office wizzard you refer
to, but it is good only if you save settings before a domain change. Thanks.

Meaning you've deleted the local users already?

No. I have not deleted the local users. The old user profiles still exist
on the C: drive. However, new profiles were created when they joined the new
domain and logged in. What I am asking is, "How can I retrieve the Outlook
information such as signatures and filters now that the users are on the new
domain?" I used the Windows "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard" to save and
restore all Windows stuff. I failed to use the Microsoft Office "Save My
Settings Wizard." How may I retrieve their Outlooks settings after the fact
from their old profile which still exists on their C: drive??

Then you can log on as the local user and still retrieve it.
