> Migrate Microsoft Outlook Nickname and Auto-completion Cache To Desktop Virtual Machines
> Microsoft Outlook attempts to auto-complete the email address that users are typing in. This feature is very helpful, and many of your users might want to preserve this information stored in the auto-completion cache. It’s quite easy to migrate this information to a new DVM.
> To migrate nickname and auto-completion cache:

> 1. | Exporting Outlook Nickname and Auto-completion Cache from the current desktop.

> 2. | On the physical desktop, close Microsoft Outlook.

> 3. | Make sure that folder options are set to show hidden files.

> 4. | Go to the C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder, the default location for the nickname and auto-completion cache.

> 5. | Copy the file in that folder to a network drive. The file type is an Office Data File.

> 6. | Go to the new DVM, open the C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder, then do one of the following.

> • | If there is no existing Outlook file, Microsoft Outlook has not been used on the new DVM. That’s okay. Copy the Outlook file from the network share to this location.

> • | If the Outlook file already exists in the new desktop virtual machine, the user has already sent some emails from the new DVM. That data will be lost. Copy the Outlook file from the network share to this location, overwriting the file.
