have you tried to create a new Outlook profile? Just for testing.

Yep, new Outlook profile works just fine. Trying to avoid that if possible though.

I wrote a script to move them. Cleaned up some things, but should get you where you want to go...

function ConvertFrom-Hexa($hexstring)

{

($hexstring.Split(",",[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries) | ?{$_ -gt '0'} | ForEach{[char][int]"$($_)"}) -join ''

}

Function ConvertTo-Hexa($str)

{

$ans = ''

`[System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($str + "`0")`

}

$hasbeenrun = (Get-ItemProperty -path $CompanyKey -name $CompanyName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).OutlookMigration

if($hasbeenrun) {

break

}

#Set the been run registry entry (could do this later in the script, but this seems safe.)

if(!(Test-Path -path $CompanyKey)) {

@Dennis Parker Thanks, will review!

Glad to help out.
