Do you mean AutoComplete/nk2 cache?  If so, that should now be part of the user 
mailbox, i.e. Outlook should no longer reference the nk2 file.

I set this up years ago, but I seem to recall that there was a condition case 
where the user's new profile coincided with the name of the old OST file and 
that caused some weirdness, so we just removed the entire folder.

Outlook 2010. Do you think I can skip number 2?  That would delete their auto 
suggest, they hate that.

That's the approach we've taken in the past for a different situation.


1.      This will delete the Mapi profiles:
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging 
Subsystem" /f

2.      This will delete the cached items stored on the file system:
rd "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook " /s /q


3.      This will make Outlook act like it is running for the first time:
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\%OutlookVer%\Outlook\Setup" /v 
First-Run /t REG_BINARY /d "00" /f

%OutlookVer% needs to be your version number, i.e. Outlook 2013 would be "15.0"

Yeah, that's probably how I would handle it.

Find the actual iMAPIprop in the profile in the registry and then yank the 
profile from the registry. You'll just have to search a registry for the 
relevant iMAPIprop, I sure don't remember it off the top of my head.

Tips to nuke these profiles if I have to go that route? Logon script to delete 
it then let Outlook recreate on startup...my users are used to creating their 
own profile....

Autodiscover is far more complicated than most people think it is. :P But this 
is happening because there is a hard reference to the old server in the user's 
MAPI profile. The RECOMMENDED way to do this process is to swap everything to 
the new server, but leave the old one up while clients are redirected and get 
sent to the new server. The clients MAPI profiles will automatically be 
updated. After a week (or what time is appropriate to your environment) then 
remove the old server.

Delete the Outlook profile and create a new one and all is well. Need to figure 
a better way, but it's a start.

Exchange list is really quiet, struggling with an issue here. Sorry.

I rolled up a new Exchange 2010 CAS/Hub and decommissioned the old one. 
Transferred all the URL's, and swapped IP's.  Internal and external flow is 
great, OWA is fine, external OWA and Active Sync is fine. Internal existing 
Outlook users are broke.  A regular user cannot find the new server when they 
start up, and domain admin with an email box can.

Feels like permissions on Autodiscover.xml or auth on Autodiscover but I have 
check that a million times.
