Export address cache

Hello:

I am moving a user from one machine to another.  This user has never used
his Contacts folder; instead, he relies on the "To:" line address cache to
store all of his contact information (yes, I *do* want to slap him).  I am
aware of the existence of the

c:\docs&settings\user\app data\microsoft\outlook\user.nk2

file.  Is moving the address cache from one machine to another as simple as
moving that file into the same directory on the new mahcine?  I've done a
little experimenting to mixed results, although the test environement I have
available to me is less than pristine -- so I'm checking here for some
independent confirmation before I go "losing" all this guy's contacts
information.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

THe file name (without extension) needs to match the mail profile name.
