Hi,<br />
<br />
We are updating the virtual platform and whole server status here. So we are changing the users from one exchange to another soon. webmail address will be the same, only routed to another server. End users have outlook 2010/2016. Autodiscover in use.<br />
In the registry we have autodiscover -&gt; RedirectServers -&gt; our.webmail.com assigned.<br />
<br />
Where does locally outlook write configuration? <br />
How this change will affect the end users?<br />
Is there way to remove old configuration via GPO (once) and maybe add another so the end users won't see any difference in the usage?<br />
<br />
In the old days there were prf -files which could be created/edited via OCT -tool if I remember correctly and those could be copied via GPO to end users computers. But what to do now?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks!

In the registry we have autodiscover -> RedirectServers -> our.webmail.com assigned.

Exchange server change vs outlook

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note-taker, journal, and web browser.

Outlook

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.

Email Clients

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

Email Servers
