I am beginning a plan for a Exchange migration from a totally different Exchange/AD infrastructure to a new environment.

The Exchange system is sitting in the cloud and it will be migrated to a local AD (Exchange and Clients in the same Network/AD)

My question is this...

Outlook profiles are now configured for the cloud exchange environment.

How can I force outlook to bypass the local profile that is setup now and create a new profile using the new local exchange environment?

Hi

are you wanting to automate this process? If you manually setup the new outlook profile you can set that as default from the control panel.

I've not tried this myself, but you may be able to use a .PRF file to bring about the changes you need.

Hi,

Firstly, Id like to explain,  Outlook profiles for users are automatically updated by Autodiscover after we move users mailboxes.  Thus, administrators do not have to manually reconfigure Outlook profiles or resynchronize .OST files

If we want to create a new profile, we use the control panel as DareDevil suggested:

Control panel> mail>new profile

If we want to update Microsoft Outlook profile information, we can use PRF file or Office Customization Tool (OCT).

For more information, you can refer to the following article:

Best regards,

This may be of some use?
