01/27/2023, 2:54 PMWhen I did it, I honestly just let them create a brand new OST file. DIdn't feel it was worth trying to migrate a file that contained just 3 months of cached data.

01/27/2023, 2:58 PMYeah it's all just cache. Let it recreate one time

01/27/2023, 2:59 PMNo issues with the Outlook profile "just working" after the migration?

Nick Panaccio
01/27/2023, 3:00 PMNone in that environment. If anything, it'd fix OST issues, haha.
Nick Panaccio
01/27/2023, 3:00 PMsince the fix was always to kill that file and let Outlook recreate it.
Nick Panaccio
01/27/2023, 3:01 PMMy alternative plan - should letting them recreate it not be approved - was to use WEM to copy the data to a directory in the profile container pre-change, then use WEM to copy it back to the normal directory post-change.

01/27/2023, 3:02 PMI only tested that on my account, but it seemed to work fine.
Nick Panaccio
01/27/2023, 3:03 PMYeah, I went with Profile and ODST containers originally, thinking that I could just delete the ODST should they have issues. Then it seemed like a waste managing both, so I created a start menu shortcut for users to self-service their own issues in Outlook (PS script).
Nick Panaccio
01/27/2023, 3:03 PMI empowered them to fix their own shit, not that most of them ever did it without instruction.

01/27/2023, 3:04 PMIt was fun writing a job aid that said 'click on 'Fix Outlook. You're done'

01/27/2023, 3:04 PMyeah, that's a challenge here
n
Nick Panaccio
01/27/2023, 3:04 PMAt least if you have that shortcut, if you get a ticket you can instruct them to click on it and be done with it.

01/27/2023, 3:06 PMFor good posture, here's the script I had for that shortcut.
Nick Panaccio
01/27/2023, 3:06 PMI had one for Outlook, Teams, BlueJeans, Webex, and WEM.

01/27/2023, 3:51 PMyeah, just tested, seems to be seamless enough. Thanks guys!

01/27/2023, 4:55 PMDo you have UPM + ODFC and the need to merge all into a Profile Container? Thinking about a migration scenario with different policy sets. I'm in the same situation and the Script from @Nick Panaccio is a great idea.

Ryan Gallier
01/27/2023, 4:58 PMFSLogix for both containers. We were using OD, but since that's just a disaster, migrating the environment to new Server 2022/2203VDA without ODFC.

Balint Oberrauch
01/27/2023, 5:18 PMis a Big Bang migration planned? wondering how you could apply the FSLogix policy. Group based VHD location settings are possible, but disabling the ODFC on a per group basis? never tested that. Include/Exclude group could be a solution.

01/27/2023, 6:03 PMit seems to work fine, just logging in after removing it. I think I was making up an issue that didn't exist. 😄
