The OST is mail profile specific. SO, since the PCs are new, the profile wont match the OST.
Most likely that wont work. You might try migrating their entire user profile from their old computers to new. Another option would be to build their computers at HQ and setup their profiles there so the mail can sync on the local LAN then ship them. At that point all the user would have to do is sync new mail since they were shipped. From: Jelle Piekaerts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jelle Piekaerts Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2008 7:41 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Use Outlook 2003 OST file in Outlook 2007 Hello, We are going to perform a new PC rollout in our company (± 450 users, 4 sites). Currently we are using Outlook 2003 with OST files, and we are going to migrate to Outlook 2007. We are going to do an installation from scratch (new PCs). The problem we have is, that our Exchange servers (located at head quarters) are connnected through slow 2mbit WANs. So even if we only do a couple of migrations a day, per site, this would easily saturate the WAN connections. Is it possible to reuse the Outlook 2003 OST file in Outlook 2007, without performing an in-place upgrade ?
