Ok, my parent company merged with another company however my location will be sold off soon. Now that the two company's Global Address Books are merged our location's management wants the default address book changed from the GAB to a sub-address book of only our location's recipients. This can be done via the Outlook 2002 client (Address Book - Tools - Options) but I wanted a way to script this change for all users.

Does anyone know the reg key or have a executable or VB script that will make this change?
 
Outlook itself provides no way to do this. Some of the third-party Outlook profile tools probably can, and it may be possible also with the Profman library included with Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/), which can be scripted (but I haven't tried that particular operation).
