Greetings to you all :)

I have a question regarding the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard on Windows XP. I'm using this tool to transfer the user files and settings from a profile to another, on the same machine, due to join a recently created active directory domain. Well, for the users not to "loose" all their data on the profile they currently use, I use the tool Files and Settings Transfer Wizard, but when I restore the data on the new profile, the Office Outlook settings are not copyed. I ask: is there a way for transfer the user Office Outlook settings from a profile to another?

TIA

Almeida

Instead of using the File and Settings transfer wizard, just login to the computer with Admin privilges and copy the profile from the old to the new.

A lot of the Outlook settings are stored in the Registry, NOT the profile, so you may have to recreate the email accounts and reconfigure the settings. However, as long as you use the same pst as the old login, the mail and calendar, etc will all be intact.
