Script to change POP and SMTP Servers in Outlook 2002
My company is going to be switching ISP's in the near future. In preparation for this, I am researching whether changing the incoming (POP) and outgoing (SMTP) servers in Outlook 2002 on each domain workstation can be scripted (using simple batch).
Ideally, this code would run as a section of the user's login script, meaning that once implemented, the code would run on logon and change the server addresses of the default mail account in outlook 2002.
I can find the data in the registry under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Softwar
Or I may already be going way off base. I'm not sure.
If simple batch methods cannot be used, are there any other options that anyone would care to hypothesize about?
