Title
Using EMWProf Configuration Wizard to process/skip OST files -
Description
When using EMWProf Configuration Wizard there are 3 options available to "Update Offline Profiles". What do these settings mean? Are these 3 settings the only available options?
What if the goal is to update the Outlook profile to point to the new mail server and bring over all the user settings, but never preserve the old OST files? The client should build a new OST file. How can this be configured? -
Resolution
When using EMWProf Configuration Wizard there are 3 options for "Update Offline Profiles": never, when possible to keep OST and always. If "never" is selected the batch file will have the following entry:
-ProcessOfflineProfiles off -KeepOST off
If "when possible to keep OST" is selected, the batch file will have the entry:
-ProcessOfflineProfiles off -KeepOST on
If "always" is selected, the batch file will have the entry:
-ProcessOfflineProfiles on -KeepOST on
The switches are explained in the documentation (UpdatingClientProfile.pdf) which contains a description of the utility and it's configuration. The section "Technical Reference" contains a description of all the allowed Command Line Parameters. if the goal is to update the Outlook profile to point to the new mail server and bring over all the user setting, but never preserve the old OST files then the the batch file should be configured using following settings:
-ProcessOfflineProfiles on -KeepOST off
This cannot be configured using the wizard; only manually.
