change path to new .pst without user interaction

Hi,

This is my situation.
More than 50 users using an PST file on Outlook2007 as a pop3 client.
Now I have to change the location of the PST file.
If you do this you get a Personal Folders message when you start Outlook for
the first time: "The path specified for the file ....PST is not valid"
Normally you browse to the new location and everything is fine.

In my situation I know that the helpdesk will be busy to support alot of
users who ring the helpdesk at the above message.
Therefore I would like to change this location automatically without user
interaction.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?


I've tried the following already without success:
* GPO setting at
\UsrConf\Adminitempl\msoffice2007outlook\miscellaneous\pstsettings
Only this setting affect only new PST's. So in the above situation. When
outlook can't find the moved PST, it creates a new blank pst in de GPO's
location. So I need this for the future users, but it doesn't solve my
question.

* Registery key hk_cu\softw\microsoft\off\12.0\outlook\ForcePSTPath
But this didn't work.


If you need more information let me know.

Best regards,
Yuri
