Hi,

I am looking out for a code / script which will change the default email

delivery location from PST to Exchange mail box.

There are 100 users and i need to automate the process.

I have tried using the .prf file using the OCT, but it creates a new profile

with the default email delivery being the Exchange mail box. By doing this

the customization is lost ie: signatures and categories.

IMP: It should modify the exsisting outlook profiles default email delivery

location

===================================================

Any help is really appreciated.
 
The Outlook object model doesn't have any way to do that. You'd have to look

into third-party tools/libraries.

I would suggest that you post the first few sections of your prf file in the

Outlook Install and Configure newsgroup

(microsoft.public.outlook.installation). My hunch is that it's not correctly

set up to modify the existing profile, rather than create a new one. Also

include information on the Outlook version and whether the profiles are

already set up with Exchange or whether Exhange needs to be added.

Thank you very much for your reply.

On the MAPI level (C++/Delphi), you can do that by calling

IMAPISession.SetDefaultStore.

Redemption exposes that functionality through teh RDOStore.Default

property - http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/rdo/rdostore.htm

If you need to change where messages form a particualr POP3 account are

delivered, you can use RDOAccount.DeliverToFolder property -
