I am trying to use the exprofre utility to point users using Outlook 2003 from an Exchange 2000 server (Exchange)in a 2000 Forest to an Exchange 2003 server (Exchange2) in a 2003 Forest. Both domains are setup to allow trust between them. I am using the following text in a batch file to perform this action. \\pap1\mailpst\test.bat /targetgc=2003DC /v /n /logfile=\\pap1\mailpst\exprofre.log When I run the batch file I then receive this in my log file.

Hi, I have the same issue than you. Did you find a solution? If yes, which one please? Yannick

The chances of anyone remembering this from a couple of years ago is a VERY long shot, however, running into the very same issue and really don't want to call PSS. Already been working on this for hours and hours and starting at ground 0 again with basic troubleshooters for a couple of additional days to get to the ones who know what's going on is last on my list. The issue I'm running into is IDENTICAL to the post above.The reigstry key exists, there's a value and the logged on user has full control over that key. This is a Vista 32-bit client; Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2010 server. Below is a copy/paste of the exprofre log file. (Identifies have been changed to protect the innocent.)[15:34:29] ************** Beginning exprofre run **************[15:34:29] Starting exprofre on Windows 6.0.6000 at 15:34:29 03/16/10 Target GC = "ourdomain.net" Log File = "c:\exprof.log" Read Only = "No" Rename Favorites = "Yes" Clear Outlook Nickname Cache = "Yes" Reset Offline Address Book = "Yes" Log Level = "Verbose" OST = "Rename" Update the profile based on a change of = "User Legacy Exchange DN"[15:34:29] Entering: f:\df7720\deployment\src\autoprof\profiler.cpp(283): wmain()[15:34:29] Entering: f:\df7720\deployment\src\autoprof\stdafx.cxx(821): CheckOSVersion() OS version = 6.0.6000[15:34:29] Leaving: f:\df7720\deployment\src\autoprof\stdafx.cxx(835): CheckOSVersion()[15:34:29] Entering: f:\df7720\deployment\src\autoprof\stdafx.cxx(1143): IsProcessRunning()[15:34:29] Leaving: f:\df7720\deployment\src\autoprof\stdafx.cxx(1176): IsProcessRunning()[15:34:29] Entering: f:\df7720\deployment\src\autoprof\stdafx.cxx(1143): IsProcessRunning()[15:34:29] Leaving: f:\df7720\deployment\src\autoprof\stdafx.cxx(1176): IsProcessRunning()[15:34:29] Entering: f:\df7720\deployment\src\autoprof\stdafx.cxx(1405): IsMAPIDLLRunning() About to enumerate processes[15:34:29] Leaving: f:\df7720\deployment\src\autoprof\stdafx.cxx(1462): IsMAPIDLLRunning()[15:34:29] Entering: f:\df7720\deployment\src\autoprof\stdafx.cxx(845): CheckOutlookVersion() Registry key name = "Outlook.Application\CurVer" About to get default value for the key.

Found out some sad news. It appears there is a bug with ExProfRe on Vista & Windows 7 that produces this issue. Additionally, ExProfRe will *not* work in an Exchange 2010 environment. When it looks up the user info in AD, it retrieves the homeMDB value and parses out the server name to use. Well, due to storage groups being done away with in Exchange 2010, that messes up the parsing logic in ExProfRe. Have to revert back to the older ProfUpdt.exe tool (for now). It's crude & not as dynamic, but it *should* work.
