Her response may have been sarcastic, but it was hardly useless. It was the correct answer to the question as asked.
"After moving the mailboxes, we need to point mail profiles to the new server, what is the best way to go about doing this?" Now, had you phrased a proper technical question[1], Mrs. Hunter's response would have been different (and possibly even less sarcastic). Looking ant the quality, depth and breadth of Mrs. Hunter's answers to this list over the last several years I certainly hope she doesn't find something better to do with her time. If the ECMSM did not apply to all clients using the Exchange Server service there would likely be a caveat in the method, especially since OL97 was the predominant client in use at the time it was codified into a FAQ appendix. [1] One which even vaguely described the actual question you were trying to ascertain the answer to. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Sakti Chakravarty Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 2:26 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: changing Outlook client mail profile For your information I have been a member of this list for long enough to have read the FAQs. If a colleague of mine has suggested that Outlook 97 clients do not reconnect automatically to the new server, what harm is there in sending a message to this list to check up? That's what it's here for! If you cannot respond to such questions without being useless and sarcastic, don't respond at all, I would hope you might have something better to do with your time. -----Original Message----- From: Hunter, Lori [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2002 7:45 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: changing Outlook client mail profile You don't do a thing except go read Ed's Move Server Method, which you clearly did not yet read, or you would have brilliantly awed us with your knowledge that you do not need to do a thing on the client. FAQ FAQ FAQ FAQ -----Original Message----- From: Sakti Chakravarty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2002 12:26 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: changing Outlook client mail profile Hi folks, We are installing an Exchange 5.5 server in an organisation with one other Exchange 5.5 server and are going to move everything from the old server to the new server. There are about 150 clients running Outlook version 5.0.2653.22 or less (which I understand implies they are all on Outlook97?). After moving the mailboxes, we need to point mail profiles to the new server, what is the best way to go about doing this? We were thinking of enforcing a registry change on each Windows client using the logon script (obviously this won't work for the Macs, but that's ok). I've discovered utilities like NEWPROF ... but I wonder if anyone can confirm this is the best way?
