We have Outlook 2003 and 2007
A script that can check by version and change
both uses the same key I specified above, the hard part would be to find the profile name if it is not standard,

I cannot offer you a full script at the moment, but the keys I gave you above should give you a good start

Any other ways to safely do it?
I need to do this as we are migrating some users from exchange 2003 to exchange 2007. They need to be without cached mode for few days
In my opinion the best approach is the one demazter suggested.  Use a group policy to disable it, then when you're done change the policy to re-enable it.
David sorry for this Q here. I need a quick suggestion
As the exchange server is changing i need to change the exchange server name. is there any way you have come accoross changing it via  a script?
what do you mean by is changing ? I hope you are not planning to rename it ?

If you are simply migrating to a new exchange server you don't have to worry about outlook profiles, they will pick the new configuration alone
Ok David

Akhater we have 2 exchanges in 2 forests now.
1 2003 and another 2007
We are going to migrate 50 users per day
So these users who are mograted will have there mailbox moved there to 2007 but still use the old Domain Samaccount. The AD migration will happen once the Exchange is over
So now if the user discovers it does not automatically happen so we need to manually type them.

So was thinking if a script could change the settings
No.  I've not found anything in Outlook's object model for this.  I also checked Redemption and I don't see that it offers a solution either.  Nor can I find anything in Microsoft's documentation.  I've posed the question to some of the really advanced developers.  I'll respond again after I've heard back from them.
Thanks David
