    heres the situation,

    We are testing outlook virtualized, and we have an impending refresh of our users PC's. They will be moving from XP to 7.

    I scripted a solution to backup all of our users PST's to a server. And in that script i also have it export all of the users current outlook settings to a .reg file.

    If i load those registry settings onto the windows 7 machine, virtual outlook doesnt see the local entries.

    Is there a way to have virtual outlook look at the machines local registry, or a way to import those registry entries into the users virtual registry?

    Thanks in advance
    -Chris

    Hello,

    See this for script-possibilities;
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939085

    What happens is that there probably is a key-virtualized set to not merge with the local key and has overriding values that already exist in the bubble...

    If you are open for commercial solutions, some "Profile Management" or "Profile Virtualization" solutions might be an option.
    I know from AppSense and Immidio that they do support classical and virtual setting migrations.

    to follow up on this, we ended up just going with a non virtual office package as we had come across one too many issues. I wrote a script to export profile in reg then import it on new win7 machine.


    Hopefully when we move to office2010 we wont have to re-visit this issue :P.
