Default Settings lost

Hi all,

I needed to join to a different domain controller = I lost my Outlook 2003
settings : Accounts (2 pop3 and 1 exchange) + Contacts + Calendar
reminders.

How can I get back all that info ?
It's stored somewhere in Docs&Settings ?

Thanks for any advice

the calendar and contacts (along with your mail, notes, tasks) are in the
mailbox or pst. Account configuration is in the profile. Are you joining a
new company? if so, as soon as you delete your old profile, you lost the
ability to access everything stored on the old server - you need to export
to a pst first.

try:

docs and settings
username
local settings
app data
microsoft
outlook

what do you see in there?

with any luck you might even see an outlook .ost file if there was offline
caching turned on for the prior exchange profile.

The problem is that any .OST file he may find is useless without the
original profile used to create it unless he feels like spending a
substantial sum of money on a third party application to recover the data.
Such applications exist, but buddy, they ain't cheap! If, OTOH, he still
has the original profile, he can launch Outlook in Offline mode and copy
everything into a .PST file

Recovery for Exchange is data recovery program for Microsoft Exchange
Offline Storage Files.
($599.00 USD for a single user license)

Thanks a lot to all.

I succeded to recover my emails+contacts+calendar from pst file.

The only left are my exchange account settings. I found the outlook.ost file
and copied it in new %userprofile%/Local Settings/App Data/Ms/Outlook/, but,
like Hal said, it was useless .

Any other solutions to recover exchange ?? Free ones, if possible .

Thanks again
