Single PRF file for users on multiple Exchanges

Hey Guys-

There seems to be quite a few articles hitting around this subject but not one directly referencing it.  I am wondering if it is possible to create a PRF that can map out the correct Outlook profile for users across the domain who may be using different exchange servers.  So where we have %username% for the user, is there also some version of that for the server?  %exchangeservername% ??

Thanks!

I'm not sure I follow your question - what do you mean by "multiple exchanges"? Exchange org is tied to domain and user has a mailbox specific to the mail server / store where it was created, it doesn't roam between exchange servers.

So, if my id is JSmith and my mailbox is on EXCHSRV1, when I go to remote site, Outlook should be configured to point to my exchange home server, as specified by AD attribute "homeMDB" and "msExchHomeServerName" - that's how profile knows based on your user ID what your exchange server is.

CAn you please clarify your question and what are you trying to accomplish?

For ease of use, lets say half of my users are on EXCHANGE1 and the other half are on EXCHANGE2, is there a way for a single PRF to know which exchange to send a user to?
