Hi All,
I've already deployed Office 2010 with OCT customisations that applied settings from a PRF file to point new Outlook profiles to a certain Exchange 2007 server. I've now migrated to Exchange 2010 and decided that I'd like to use the 'Automatically configure profile based on Active Directory Primary SMTP address' group policy in conjuntion with AutoDiscover to setup Outlook for my users and forego any profile settings using OCT or PRF files. This will make it easier moving to new Exchange servers in future as I won't have to update or change my Office deployments.
For fresh installations I've already updated my Office OCT MSP patch to remove the PRF stuff and this is working well. The problem is with existing Office installations. Does anyone know of a way I can remove customised PRF settings on an existing install? What I'd like to do is basically have Outlook revert back to default behaviour and show the Startup Wizard - which itself will be suppressed by the GPO setting.
Many thanks in advance,
Ross
UPDATE: I think I may have made some progress. The registry key 'HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\User Settings\{9FC073AA-879E-4355-9979-A14539394FE1}\Create' seems to reference the PRF file included in the deployemnt. I think these settings are applied to the users' profile when they launch Outlook for the first time. I'm just checking to see what happens when this key is removed.
