Change name of Exchange Server in admin install of Office....

Barry · Dec 12, 2005

Hi, We have an administrative image of Office 2K3 SP1 (distributed via GP)
which configures Outlook to connect to a previously existing Exchange Server.
We deployed a "new" Exchange Server subsequent to the creation of the image,
and naturally the ""new" Server has a different name.
I am preparing to update the image to include SP2 and was wondering if there
is a way I can correctly identify the current Exchange Server within the
administrative image.
Thanks,
Barry

Look for a file with a *.PRF extension. This file can be opened in Notepad
where you should be able to update the name of the server.

An alternative to the above is to add a CNAME records to DNS of the OLD
server name and point it to the new server. (e.g. in my site, we go with a
generic server of profgen that always points to one of our existing
servers.)
