Outlook AutoComplete: migrating from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013
My 20-user customer is migrating from a single Exchange 2007 server to a single Exchange 2013 server. Will their Outlook AutoComplete entries automatically transfer to the new server, or do we need to migrate them manually somehow? A lot of our users rely on the AutoComplete feature in their day-to-day work.
As I recall, AutoComplete data used to be stored in .NK2 files on the Outlook user's PC, but since Exchange 2010, are stored on the server itself. Or is this specific to the version of Outlook being used, not the version of Exchange?
When I say "Outlook AutoComplete", this is the feature I am referring to.

The article you linked makes it sound like AutoComplete's location is based on the version of Outlook being used, not the version of Exchange.
Since we're upgrading Exchange but not Outlook, our users will have the same versions they always had (a mix of 2007, 2010, 2013). The only change will be moving their mailboxes from the old server to the new one.
That being the case, wouldn't AutoComplete remain untouched? Again, for any given user, we're not upgrading their Outlook, or even redoing their Outlook profile--we're just moving the mailbox from one Exchange server to another.
