removing a default exchange server from outlook

A

AdminKen

I have a Office 2003 Pro install in which I have a customized install using
the Custom Installation Wizard using a MST. In this MST I have specified an
exchange server as well as the default user (%username%) so as new people
log in and use Outlook for the first time, their profile is pre-set up for
them requiring almost no user input.
Unfortunately if that workstation leaves the domain or the name of the
Exchange server changes, etc, I am stuck with a old setting that points to a
non-existent exchange server. So in this case Outlook fails upon first run
and I am unable to easily remedy the situation. Removing and re-installing
Outlook (or Office) does not remove the setting.

I found that I can delete out all the Default Outlook Profiles sub-keys
under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\Currentversion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Default Outlook
Profile\(delete all these). Unfortunately that only helps on the current
user. The next user who logs in and tries to use Outlook is faced with the
same problem.

So how or where do I remove these as the default settings?
