Keeping ost files during migration

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone out there has performed this operation
successfully.

We have 10 users on a remote WAN connection. We are in the process of
migrating to a new Domain and new exchange environment. The migration
is progressing well - one thing when migrating our 10 users I would
have liked not to re-sync there e-mails as some are as large as 2GB.

They are local profiles with outlook 2003 with cached mode turned on.
Preferrable, initiate the migration from here and it will be able to
use the existing ost file without having to re-synce.

Any ideas?

There's a faily good discussion of the ost encryption key in

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282496/en-us

It's a bit confusing exactly which client versions the KB applies to. In
the "applies to " section it states Outlook 2000 but there is a discussion
of Outlook XP and 2003 in the OAB section of the article. It's something
you would definitely want to test.
