We created a simple batch file that was added as a user logon script to Group Policy. Batch looked for existence of a log file and quit if already done for that user, otherwise renamed existing NK2 files so we could get the old data if someone whined about it. Batch file was something like this: @ECHO OFF SET NK2LOCN="%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Outlook" IF EXIST %NK2LOCN%\NK2done.log GOTO :END ECHO %DATE% %TIME% NK2 FILE CLEANUP STARTED > %NK2LOCN%\NK2done.log RENAME %NK2LOCN%\*.NK2 *.NK2.BAK ECHO %DATE% %TIME% NK2 FILE CLEANUP FINISHED >> %NK2LOCN%\NK2done.log :END Hope this helps...."Clayton Sutton" <n***@none.com> wrote: Ha®®y>Hey everyone, > >Can someone tell me if there is a way to clear everyone's Outlook 2003 >address cache across the network?
