scripting to change entourage client setting

D

I need to massively change the email address of over 500 Mac users.
They use Entourage and we will be switching from one domain xyz.com to
abc.com

Rather than hitting each Mac, is there a script that can be push
through remotely?

Why do you want to write a script for this, especially if it is a
one-time operation? It is probably faster (considering debug and
development time) to simply export all your contacts as a text file.
Then open the file in Excell. Next do a find and replace on the domain
name. Then Save the file as Tabbed Text again. Finally import the file
back into Entourage.

You my want to create a new identity for the import before deleting ail
the contacts in the main identity and importing them there. Just Switch
Identities, create a new on, close out of the Assistant and you are
ready for the test. I would also recommend archiving your contacts in
you main identity as a backup in case something does go wrong. It
probably took me longer to type the instructions that it will take to
do the entire operation.

I think that the OP was talking about doing the process on 500 different
systems...
