I have been helping a company move to a new cloud based email system. They needed to update everyone’s mail profile. In this follow VBScript, it builds a .prf file to be imported in with the correct fields for the user and servers. Near the top of the script there is a section to be filled out by a person that knows the Exchange environment, Exchange Administrator.
‘ Define our servers and paths strProxy = “”strAutoDiscoverProxy = “”
strProfileName = “”
strHomeServer = “”
strRPCProxyPrincipalName = “”
The script will ask the user their primary email address. For the company I was helping out they had multiple email domains so we needed them to select their primary. It then will ask them to confirm what they typed.
