MS Office Forum / Outlook / Installation and Configuration / February 2006ResetFolderNames
Hi, we are in the middle of a huge migration from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 and we have to do a lot of "Move Mailbox". Very often, folder names in Outlook XP change from French to English. I know that we can use the switch /ResetFolderNames when starting Outlook or use a registry key to do the same thing. Is there any problem with using the registry key and leaving it there during the whole lenght of the migration. ex: +-6 months Does this key / reset have any impact on anything else? Since we have 15 000 users, I need to cover all bases so we don't run into any bigger problems. Thanks What registry key are you referring to? THat's a new one to me.

I wonder, though, that whether it applies will depend on the presence/value of the FirstRun key key as well.

I just need to make sure that this key isn't linked to any other feature in Outlook and break anything else. I haven't found anything yet on the First-Run key. Any thing I should look out for? > Thanks, I've never heard of any ill effects.

I've never tried using ResetFolderNames for that scenario. Might be worth a pilot.
