Edit or create Outlook profiles

by

Outlook profiles can be created and distributed via OCAT and PRF files, which also works quite well, but sometimes it is a bit of a crap shoot. If you "just want to swap" the Exchange server name, you should take a look at RichProfile. The tool is free and makes swapping the server name very easy (also via the command line in ... Read more
