This might sound like a weird question, but here it goes. I am working on a DR project and I need to figure out how the "Move Mailbox" feature works. I have come up with a custom way of failing over Exchange from one server to another using a 3rd party replcation software. I have a script that flips the users mailboxes to the recovery server in AD. Problem is I cannot figure out how to make the change on the Outlook client without closing it and entering the new server name into the Outlook profile. I need it to work seamlessly. Is there something I can push out though AD that will redirect everyones Outlook profile to the new server name? I know that when you move a mailbox, all you have to do is close Outlook and reopen it and it will reconnect to the new server automagically. If anyone knows what the logic is behind the wizard, I could code it in my script. Any help would be apprieated. Thanks
