I am in the process of migrating about 100 outlook users from pop3 to
exchange accounts. In their outlook profile, they have their primary
account being the pop3 and their secondary account being the exchange
account. Once we disable the old pop3 server, I would like it when uses
log in, for the old pop3 account to be disabled and the exchange account
to be set as their primary account or to just delete the pop3 account.

Is this even possible? Done via WMI or MAPI? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Microsoft uses text files with a .prf extension and a highly structured format to provide information to OUtlook that enables Outlook to create or modify a mail profile. You can create such .prf files with the Custom Installation Wizard or Custom Maintenance Wizard tools in the Office Resource Kit. For more details, including a variety of .prf deployment methods, read the excellent white paper "Configuring Outlook Profiles by Using a PRF File" at http://office.microsoft.com/search/redir.aspx?assetid=HA011403051033&QueryID=pHm7c_60I&respos=3

The page at http://www.slipstick.com/exs/olroam.htm includes information on other profile tools and resources.
