change the Default email Delivery Location

[Vinod Lewis]

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.

Yes the profiles are already setup in Exchange.

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 -
