I need to recreate a load of users' mail profiles in Outlook 2010. (It's a long story!) To try and reduce "user error" I want to script this, so that it removes the user's mail profile, and recreates a replacement. Is this possible? I've seen the Customer Maintenance Wizard for Outlook 2003, but can't find an equivalent for 2010.

Outlook 2010 will use auto configuration if you're able to set up the appropriate DNS records. This doesn't completely automate the process, but it will reduce the process to maybe 2-3 steps and eliminate 90% of the configuration work they have to do. All they (in theory) would need to know is their Name, email address, and password. | |||||||||||

I'm assumming a single machine here with an Outlook client that does not involve Exchange. When I upgraded my home machine from XP / Office 2003 --> Win 7 / Office 2010, I unfortunately noticed that many of the outlook settings and configurations were not contained in the PST file. I extracted this information from the user registry used in XP and imported them into the Win 7 registry. My settings basically came back. My specific concern centered because I use my outlook client to access many different mailboxes on different machines. But this did the trick and I did not have to go through the effort of manually adding (much less remembering what I had done before). In your case, find the specific area in the users' registry, save it, do the update. BTW, I recently upgraded inplace from 2003 ---> 2010 at work and all my settings survived and were properly converted. | |||
