Question : Move Outlook profile to new computer

Because of a new company policy we have to re-image more than 300 computers. That means the hard disk will be completly erased and the new operating system installed. Most computers currently run on Windows 2000, the new image is Windows XP. We want to move the complete Outlook 2000/2003 configuration (.PST files, address books and anything else that might be locally stored and not on the Exchange server) to the new installation (Outlook 2003). That will make it much easier for the users when they start working after re-imaging.

We want to automate as many things as possible. Are there any free tools that might help us in this process? For example it would be great if we could store all the settings and corresponding .PST files with just some clicks or - even better - automatically from the command line?

Thanks in advance!

Answer : Move Outlook profile to new computer

You can use the Files and Settings Transfer wizard that comes on the Windows XP CD which will help you transfer user settings across to a Windows XP machine.

There's quite a good explaination here:
