Automate configuration change on Outlook 2007
- by Julien Vehent
I am migrating a bunch of mailboxes to google apps. Each user owns several mailboxes each serving different domains (john has [email protected], [email protected], and so on...)
Currently, those accounts are hosted on (edit:NOT an exchange server) an old SMTP/POP server we want to replace, and I need to edit their outlook 2007 configuration to change the pop, smtp and password parameters.
The hard way to do it is to connect to each outlook session and edit the parameters manually. I want to avoid that. Because that represents over 700 accounts spread between 40 users... :'(
How can I automate this configuration change ? In the active directory ? Using a PRF file ?
note: I'm a linux sysadmin with very little knowledge of windows's black magic.
