We have around 1000 Outlook 2002 users, who currently all have their mail delivered to .pst files. We now need to change the delivery location to their Mailbox on the Exchange 2000 server. Short of visiting every single desktop, does anyone please know if there is a way to change the delivery...

I can vouch for the fact that deployment through group policy does work, I've done all our PCs, worked OK. Are you able to deploy other software using this method, i.e. is it just SP4 that's causing problems? Are you assigning it to the PCs, or publishing it? Can you run the Update.msi manually...

Detroit Re the FSMO roles take a look at this thread which should help. thread96-653149 You would be best off manually transferring any FSMO roles onto different DCs before demoting the server. I don't know about the licence issues. Cheers.

Check which FSMO roles are performed by box A, and transfer them to box B before shutting down box A. See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;255690 for further information.

Charlie You may want to try my suggestions to a similar problem in a different thread? thread96-725255 Hope this helps.

Sorry Marc, no, I don't know where that one is.

TheGoat Turns out it was a corrupt user profile. I deleted their profile and when they logged in again all was OK. Perhaps this'll work for you too? Good luck.

What is not recommended, and by whom? Do you mean using Word as the message editor? As I mentioned before, I DON'T want to use Word. That's why I'm trying to undo it. I would try your suggestion, but the option to compose messages in Rich Text is also greyed out. Airsot (sic).

Like I say, we're using XP all round. So don't expect the problem to go away when you upgrade! Good luck, and thanks anyway. Cheers.

Marc Eh? I don't understand what you are trying to say. Can you elaborate please? Can you help? We use Outlook XP and Word XP if it helps! Airshot.

Hi TheGoat Did you ever find the answer to this? I've got the same problem, but the other way around. I DON'T want to use Word as the e-mail editor, but I can't untick the box because it's greyed out! It seems this happens with whatever version of Word is being used, as we are using Word XP.

Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. Add a new value called LogonPrompt and enter the text you want to display in the logon box. Another useful one is a popup box which comes up straight after you press Control+Alt+Delete to log in. In the same place in the registry...

Check that your keyboard or mouse buttons are not being accidentally depressed. I had a similar problem on one of our servers, whereby the person who checked the backup every day was logging out and then stuffing the keyboard down the side of the server cabinet!

Is the 'Hide specified control panel applets' policy also enabled?
