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...

Re the FSMO roles take a look at this thread which should help.

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.

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.

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!
I had a problem with the 'Power Options' in Control Panel. Whatever I tried I couldn't see it during a TS session to the server. Eventually I found this

Perhaps it's the same for other .cpl files too?
Are you running this xcopy 'backup' as a Scheduled Task? If so, you need to ensure that the 'Run as' user information contains details of a user who has permissions to the files you want to copy (in the DOMAIN\USERNAME) format. If it isn't working then give the user the necessary permissions to...
1. You could try using xcopy with the /C switch, which tells xcopy to continue even if it encounters errors.
2. What are you trying to achieve with your script? Would using something like this help:
net use g: \\remote\thefolder PASSWORD /user:"DOMAIN\USERNAME"
specifying a user...
